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.

5 Stars Kaspersky Internet Security
Solid protection for internet….some problems with identifying and blocking intrusions but otherwise a good product

5 Stars Kaspersky anti-virus/spyware
I’m pleased with this product. I’ve used Norton for years, but lately

it’s created more bugs than it caught, and slowed down the computer.

I tried Micro Trent and AVG, but encountered problems with each attempt

at installation. Kaspersky installed easily, and works in the background including downloading frequent updates. Very user-friendly.

1 Star Overrated
I bought Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 (3-computer version) on sale for $28 and installed it on 3 laptops in my home. I quickly became dissatisfied with it in less than a week due to its layout and more importantly its overall function. It’s good at identifying viruses, trojans & such but it’s quite vague when it comes to what you should do with the threats it finds… delete them, ignore them, keep them quarantined, etc.? Many users end up seeking assistance from the Kaspersky forum where volunteer “expert” moderators try to assist non-expert users with achieving solutions to various problems including how to handle identified threats, how to troubleshoot & repair glitches, etc. Saying to hell with that mess, I uninstalled Kaspersky and replaced it with Norton Internet Security 2009 (3-computer version) which I’ve found to be far superior to Kaspersky in both design and function. Unlike prior Norton offerings, this edition is blazing fast, unobtrusive and extremely user-friendly. I strongly recommend using free trial downloads to evaluate other antivirus programs (including the free ones) before purchasing Kaspersky.

5 Stars Kaspersky internet security
Great price and great product. I have been using Kaspersky for 2 yrs and have not had any security problems, though I did have major trouble when I used a dif. security product. Since I was already using Kaspersky I wanted to stay with this product. Works for me.

5 Stars Excellent Hard Drive Maintenance Software
I really like this software. It’s very easy to use and very fast. I recognize the need for keeping your hard drive clean for more efficient use and in the past have used several producst to do this. WinCleaner allows me to do all that with just one product. After you install it you can configure it to do what you want it to do. From that point forward you just have to remember to click one button to run the software. Works beautifully and keeps my 4 year hard drive running smoothly.

5 Stars This is a great program!
I have used Wincleaner for years and was upgrading it with this purchase. Wincleaner is an indispensible software program to keep your computer in good running shape. I haven’t seen another program that comes close to it. I can’t imagine having a computer without this program.

5 Stars Best Yet
I have had three previous programs to “repair” the registry. This is the absolute best, and very easy to use.

5 Stars One of the best computer software I own!
I can’t explain it all but this product works and is way better than System Mechnic Pro 8, Defender Pro 15-in-1, and Windows Live One Care which really does slow your PC down! What a waist of money and time! It is fast and safe to use. So if you want a computer software that works and good for the money I recommend this great product! I think you’ll be very happy with this!

5 Stars Good registry cleanner
WinCleaner one click does a super job of cleaning trash out of your computer that slows down all of your programs. Helped a lot with my surfing speeds.

1 Star vista 32bit vs mac osx
yes i agree that this is the cheapest way to get vista…vista has problems to the point where people are going back to xp,save yourself the hastle and buy a mac,mac os x is extremely stable and never crashes.Apple MacBook Pro MB134LL/A 15.4-inch Laptop (2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD SuperDrive) for the macbook pro and Apple MacBook MB466LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop (2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, Slot Loading SuperDrive) for cheap macbook

3 Stars cheapest way to get vista
This is the cheapest way to get vista that I know of. However, of course it has all the faults that microsoft is famous for. Buy a mac and make your life easier.

Not sure if the developers version installs easily on a barebones pc, but it installed without trouble on a second partition on a macbook. In that situation at least it is not worth buying the non-developers version

I give it five out of five for price, and 1 out of five because its vista, making three out of five overall.

4 Stars Works For Me !
No Problems loading or setting up. Occasional ” Stack over flow “error encountered, but has stopped as time accumulated on operating system. Runs Smoothly and suprisingly quickly on custom built 1.25 MHZAMD w/512 MB. ram, Not sure about mother board and BIOS. Fairly standard 2004 desktop. SiS 741 Host CPU Bridge , SiS 964 PCi to LPC Bridge.
