1 Star DO NOT BUY! Worst Norton Product EVER!
I have been an avid Norton Symantec user for over 13 years. This is the worst product EVER. It slows your system down so much that I had to disable most of the features, which an average user will not know how to do.

My biggest complaint is that once the “virus update” expires.. it renders the entire software useless. I couldn’t even go in and make simple changes to the settings, nothing to do with the virus update feature. PLUS A pop-up comes up everyday twice a day begging me to buy another year subscription. That is false. What they are really asking is that I buy the software again. Once a year is up .. you might as well throw it in the trash OR give it to someone else OR wipe your hard drive and install a fresh copy.

I am not happy with it at all! I will never buy any anti-virus or internet security software from this company again. I have heard of complaints that it will crash your system the day it expires.

Uninstalling any Norton products are difficult and you should find a good article on the internet on how to do this. NOTE: You must uninstall any anti-virus software if you are installing a different brand.

1 Star GARBAGE! Destroyed my PC
If you have XP run for the hills. This is garbage. Destroyed my Windows Explorer. Can’t uninstall effectively. Never would buy a Norton Product again.

1 Star Run! Save yourself!
Norton 360 is an utter disaster. You will lose the ability to right-click, as doing so causes Windows Explorer to crash, every time, if this program is installed.

This was true for me on two separate machines, both less than a year old.

1 Star Terrible product!
I had been a loyal Norton customer for over 12 years. In the past I would have recommended their products. Not so with Norton 360 V2 or anything else. This product comes with a backup feature which allows you to put your files on a disk or online. I backed up my files using DVDs. When I tried to access the backup files, they would not open. Of course for security reasons, they were in some form of a Norton protected format. Nothing but Norton will open them and even the Norton program would not work! I exchanged numerous emails/chats with Norton tech support for over four (4) months, with no fix for the problem! I tried phone support, but it was far too costly and was as worthless as their chat and email services. From exchanging the numerous emails/chats, it was obvious to me that the tech support persons were just sending prewritten answers. They were not even reading most of my emails and sent many repeat ’solutions’ that I had already told them did not work. Shortly after the fourth month, my software expired. Now I have several DVDs, full of important backup files, that I will never be able to access! Run from this company and their products! Like some other big name brands, they are not what they used to be; not even close! Three words: Buy Trend Micro.

1 Star the WORST PIECE OF SOFTWARE AND I GOT RIPPED OFF!
This garbage for software slowed down my computer to a standstill. a brand new computer that stopped functioning. An hour with tech support yielded no results since they don’t’ know what they are doing or saying.

secondly, i was suppose to get $25 dollars rebate from the company for this piece of junk, but the company STIFFED ME and never issued the rebate even though i called several time requesting it. they sited some nonexistant reason why i can’t get my rebate, and to this day i still can’t get a straight answer from them.

so you want to get ripped off and get your computer to stop working, get this software.

3 Stars HAPPY and SAD……
This is my second renewal and I’m very happy about it. Faster than NIS but I’m still waiting for the product rebate they promised that’s why I gave it a 3 stars.

1 Star Kept freezing everything up
This was a horrible hassle. The minute I installed it, everything kept freezing up. I switched back to Trend Micro.

I have tried to install this on two computers in my home. One wouldn’t install at all. The other installed but all I have is an icon, no protection. Please send me an E-mail with help.

1 Star I so hate this program
I just got off the phone with Quickbooks Support after I was told I HAD TO buy the tech support subscription in order to get the program I bought last year to work.

This constitutes a breach of contract, and is an extremely dirty business tactic. I paid for a product that I am unable to use until I buy a service agreement.

I am a CPA and have about 10 versions of Quickbooks on my computer but I will discourage anyone from using Quickbooks from now on.

If you make the best product, you don’t have to resort to dirty tactics such as this to get people to buy your product.

This is simply unabashed greed.

1 Star A Bug from the get-go!
Quickbooks make sure you have to buy the full version every three years. My 2007 version NEVER worked right. I didn’t know it did not work until 35 days after I first used the product. Try to get service without purchasing a Service Plan! I finally got in and told them my problem, to which they finally responded there was a “bug” that has not been resolved. You cannot email more than one invoice at a time. I have a customer that wants to be billed once a month and it would simplyfy my operation if I could send the invoices at the same time. This function worked in my 2004 version - until it came time for the 2004 version to expire. Last time I called Quickbooks they said they still don’t have a fix - they would let me know when they fixed it. I DOUBT IT! It has been three months and I still haven’t heard from them. They knew when I purchased the product it did not work. Go somewhere else for your software.

1 Star Same old garbage as 2006, and still database corruption !!!
The biggest problem I had with QB 2005 and 2006 was my database going corrupt after download Intuit updates. I have been an IT consultant for years. I know all the tricks. Nothing could stop it. It was luck of the draw. I cannot tell you how many of my clients went corrupt and switched to Microsoft Accounting or Peachtree.

My biggest grievance with Intuit is 4 fold.

1 - Version 2006 does not work with Vista and Intuit has no plans to patch it to make it work.

2 - The price of 2007 has gone up but the quality is still lacking in many areas.

3 - Intuit does not offer an UPGRADE price discount for people that have 2006 version, and maybe have new computers running Vista. They have to pay FULL PRICE for something they just recently bought all over again!

4 - Intuit used to offer a 5 Multiuser pack for about $400-500. Now they only offer a 3 user pack for around $500! What a screw job. they are purposely cashing in on the Vista release and taking the small business man for a ride and laughing all the way to the bank.

I am now boycotting Intuit. I have stopped over 250 licenses from being purchased by many of my clients and switched them to Peachtree Pro.

Peachtree offers an upgrade price. Peachtree Pro 2007 works with Vista. Originally it did not but Peachtree made a patch!!! Now that is customer service. Peachtree Pro 2007 is also available in a 5 user pack for about $500 on many discount websites.

So take a hike Intuit. you purposely screwed valuable customers and hard working small business people! I hope you are happy!

5 Stars Great product
I have been using an old version of photoshop but with the purchase of a new Vista PC I was forced to purchase Elements. I’m glad I did.

1 Star Horrible-I am removing till there is a fix if ever.
Incredibly useless! had to buy it to work with Vista 64bit as 5 won’t work. 7 will import the catalog but will not associate any of the pictures with the catalog- It can find the pictures but then you have to redo your entire catalog - this abominable software will cost me 30 hours to redo my catalog not to mention the 3 days spent trying to get the software to recognize my old catalog- this is a nightmare! Even MS OUTLOOK with several email and excange accounts to switch over was a piece of cake compared to this disaster of a program. have no Idea if the software edits photos well- can’t get that far. I enjoyed PSE5 but this new 7 is garbage- I’m half tempted to go with the windows software that came with the computer so I don’t have to ever go through this nightmare again. incedentally; support? or pertinent information?…non-existent.

5 Stars Fantastic Program for Amateurs
I love redoing old photo’s and this is just the program I needed. The best part is of course the new brush; Spot Healing Tool. I do a lot of taking people out of photos and inserting them into a new background, and this is a much better program than the one I had; Photoshop 6.0.

I would defiantly recomend this program to anyone that loves to work with photos.

4 Stars Adobe Photoshop Elements 7
I really have enjoyed using Photoshop and it arrived in a timely fashion. I was disappointed that the ad promised a $20 rebate, but when I received the item I realized that I did not qualify for it, so I paid $20 more than I expected to pay.

4 Stars My First Adobe Photo Editing Software
This was my first time using Adobe Photoshop Elements, as I am typically a Corel user. This is excellent for those professional shots, unlike with Paint Shop Pro. I haven’t been a huge fan of Photoshop, probably because it was a little intimidating, but I do love Elements. It’s a great program with everything necessary to do my edits. Nice!
