 Norton Installed Just Fine January 29, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have been using Norton Antivirus for years simply because it works. Before buying this year I read all the reviews again so I knew I needed to uninstall the old version. The directions do tell you to do that but in such a quiet way that you might miss it with dire results. It took about an hour and a half per computer to download the Norton removal tool from the Symantec web site, run it, reboot, install 2008, reboot, and run live update (at least 45 minutes for that one function). I did not do a full system scan which takes hours and ran them late at night. I like the 2008 version. It has improved my boot time from 17 minutes to 5 minutes. Thanks to all who have gone before for the good advice.
 Subscription problems, horrible customer service January 14, 2008

After the product had been installed only a month, it started saying my subscription had expired (supposed to be good for a full year). Contact Norton, and they have you undergo hours of "tech support" that does not solve the problem. They acknowledge that the subscription is not expired but still make the user undergo hours of troubleshooting...and it still gives the stupid error.

Product advertised compatable with Micro Soft Vista. Would not load properly, error messages. Tried to get support fron Norton online, no response. Returned product for refund.

Have used Norton for years with no problem. This time installation was a nightmare and had to take it to the repairman to have him uninstall and reinstall. Sad that this year's version had really improved his businness...lots of people have had trouble.
 fast, easy to use December 22, 2007

Unlike other reviewers, I know very little about computers. I just follow the download instructions!
I don't know why other reviewers, who know so much about computers, say that Norton Antivirus slows down their computers so much. It absolutely doesn't do that to me. It doesn't slow down my computer at all--I have never had a faster booting computer, though I don't know how much credit to give to Windows Vista and how much to Norton Antivirus. (A few months ago I was running McAfee on an older version of Windows, on the same computer I use now, and it was much slower.)
Of course it goes without saying that so far I haven't fallen prey to any viruses, so the thing appears to be doing its job.
One thing is that while a scan is running, the computer does slow down a lot. But it is easy to schedule a scan for 4 AM (or noon--whenever you happen to be sleeping), and then it is no problem.
Also, I had no problem downloading and installing it.
So I heartily endorse this product! I don't know whether there are better products, but for what it's worth, I am wonderfully satisfied.
