5 Stars Norton 360 2.0
We have used Norton since the begaining of computers. I’v used them with all my computers Peter Norton’s products have always preformed prefectly.

1 Star Busy-Body Time Waster
I have approx. 200 days left on the subscription and so will see if things improve. The program craps out periodically, requiring a removal and then reinstallation. It also periodically knocks out my sound system, requiring reinstallation of the Extigy driver. The FireWall doesn’t tell you when it is “protecting” you, and so you waste time figuring out why an external drive doesn’t work or a network computer can’t be reached. Technical support is decent–but you have to wait in line with 62 other people ahead of you.

1 Star Do not buy
I just bought Norton 360 Premier 2.0 and it is a total piece of junk. It has been two days that I am trying to install it on a Windows XP sp2 system to no avail. It hangs at some point on the installation and nothing happens for hours. I even contacted their support via their chat line with some gentleman in India — which took a while to get to being the 30th person in the queue — just to install a freaking software. He “took over” my system via a remote session and who knows what he was doing (I could see the mouse moving and what not) and after spending HOURS and a couple of remote reboots I lost him and the remote session was not reestablished again. So I was back where I was with a remote controlled software somewhere installed on my computer (good luck finding that one).

I tried to uninstall the aborted software, again, to no avail. Ended up having to download special software to remove Norton products. Here is my question: is it worth the hassle and your time and money to go though this abuse? Even if this software is installed I wouldn’t have a warm and fuzzy that this piece of junk can protect my system. Bottom line: continue with your research and don’t buy this garbage.

4 Stars so far so good!!
Received product on time, way less expensive than other places, CD was installed in 30 minutes without no problems what so ever (granted I don’t know too much about computers) Installed in a XP system. Using the same for over a month now. Hope this help.

1 Star Best to avoid, unless your willing to mess with it
Some elements work well after you fiddle with them. The defaults appear to have been set by monkeys.

DO NOT USE THE BACK-UP!! It will take your system and grind it to a halt. It will not stop unless you reboot. It is BAD, as in this should never have been released bad.

FWIW, I am very experienced with PC’s and have been computing for over 20 years.
