1 Star It’s 10:30 pm, and why am I sitting at my computer.
I have used McAffee for a couple of years, but this one is real junk. Since the last update, the console that allows me to stop a scan no longer appears. It scans whenever it feels like it. The infected files list in the log has a length of about 10 characters ( nothing like you have an infection in C:/Program_f. ) It gives false positives.

So, why am I sitting at my computer. Well McAffee decided to scan even though it was scheduled to run at 7am. I can’t stop it, and it will not let windows shut down. So, I suppose I do what I now have to do to shut down my computer - pull the plug.

4 Stars This was a great deal
This was a great price for this product. Installed with not problems. Love the parental controls.

1 Star I HATE THIS PROGRAM
I HATE THIS PROGRAM. Everyday there is something it does to waste my time. The most annoying ritual is I have to activate it several times a day. When I missed doing so, I had to re-install the program (downloading and installation - about 90 minutes). Several times a month the automatic update causes errors, at the least I have to stop everything and re-boot several time, or more often than not, the program informs me I have to re-install … again. It doesn’t work in the background either, whenever it decides to do something, (scan, download, update the program). Everything I’m doing crawls to a halt. No warning either, if I am doing something that needs the processor or the internet… too bad. (The only thing you can stop is the scan, if you look for the hidden icon, but by then it is too late.) If you try to change the settings (if you can find them) it announces you are unprotected all the time. Finally, they send you a butt load of ads that pop up on your desktop and you have to click the button “continue with what I am doing”

2 Stars OK (If you can get it to install properly)
For many years I used Norton, but the last version I used slowed my computer down, so I switched to McAfee a couple of years ago and was pretty happy with it. When my subscription expired, I purchased IS 2009. It works OK and I like the Site Advisor feature, but installing it was a nightmare. On my first attempt, the install hung up, so I manually uninstalled my old version and tried again. I couldn’t get Site Advisor to work and it kept prompting me to activate my product. So I tried to uninstall/install with no success. Finally, after rooting around through the support site, which I didn’t find all that good, I downloaded a separate product (MCPR.EXE)from McAfee which uninstalls old versions (even though the new version is supposed to uninstall the old one). After running that, I finally got the new version to install properly.

If I were switching to a different program, I might expect some glitches, but upgrading to a new version from the same company should NOT be this painful. This is probably my last version of McAfee.

3 Stars Much Improved for 2009, But At Least One Fatal Flaw Rears Its Head
After years of running Norton Antivirus products, with ever increasing demands on system resources, as well as slowing down the machines these products were installed on, the completely rewritten version of Norton Internet Security 2009 has gone a very long way towards correcting years of bloatware code that was made worse with every new release.

This version installs fast, runs fast, and is almost entirely unobtrusive, with one very major exception.

This software will break your home or small business network.

In a well-documented bug first discovered in October 2008, Norton interferes with, and eventually blocks access to other machines on your home network. Norton admits there is a problem, and has been stalling customers for months with promises for a fix, yet keeps pushing the release date out further and further.

Install Norton 2009, and eventually all of the computers on your home network under My Network Places will disappear, and will eventually be blocked from access. While you can frequently manually reach your other networked machines by typing their addresses directly into an address bar, software that depends on access to your other networked machines directly (index, backup, small business collaboration tools, etc.) usually cannot work this way, and you are effectively cut off from using those applications. Worse, over time, Norton will begin periodically cutting off access to your networked machines. Suddenly file copying between machines fails, extremely long delays in accessing other computers on your network occurs, and your frustration level mounts.

Norton admits the only current solution to this problem is to completely uninstall Norton 2009 Antivirus/Internet Security products. There is no other workaround.

Worse yet, the responsiveness of the company to major software bugs has been less than acceptable. It literally takes months for even the most urgent bugs to get identified, corrected, and then put through a laborious test procedure. To add insult to injury, it then takes up to six additional weeks for the fixed code to be incorporated into their slow update release schedule and finally reach every customer.

This truly mars an otherwise promising product and makes it an unacceptable option for those dependent on networked machines, such as a home or small business network. If you are dependent on your network to access remote hard drives or collaborate in an office environment, Norton 2009 products are absolutely not acceptable for use and I strongly recommend you look elsewhere until the company finally fixes the problem.

A very lengthy discussion about this problem can be found on the Norton Community Forum. Simply search for “NAV blocks access to hard disk.” The later discussions in the thread contain the most pertinent information.

I’ve always used Norton and once again the 2009 version doesn’t disappoint. I got it at a really reasonable price, much cheaper than Walmart, Best Buy and even Symantec’s own website. My wife and I surf on alot of different websites and using Windows these days its so easy to get a virus or malware/spyware on your pc.

5 Stars works great
cant remeber if I ordered this one or TOTAL PROTECTECTION. how ever I recieved this one im happy with it so its no big thing. I think I meant to order the TOTAL PROTECTECTION and ordered viruse scan plus 2009 with out thinking about it but its no big thing cause this one works just the same with a few things missing the identity theft protection but I can buy that so I will Im happy with this one

2 Stars Not worth it if it was free.
A 30 day version of this came with a Dell computer. It is so “desirable” that Dell actually charged more to not install it!

It keeps claiming that the Virus scan has been disabled (without giving a reason), then if you manually force it to look for updates (when there are none) it turns virus scanning back on.

A good virus scanner should be silent until a virus is found. This one whines so much that that you might not know if a real problem occurred.

I can’t figure out what the firewall portion does that the built in windows firewall doesn’t already do.

5 Stars Norton System Works Basic
Norton System Works BASIC dovetails perfectly with Spysweeper Antivirus and MS firewall. Computer is working better than ever, without conflicts.

1 Star Too restrictive for use when you really need it
I purchased this item because I needed to wipe a disk for resale. It turns out that it cannot wipe the disk of the computer it boots from since it needs to be “installed” first. So you have to remove the hard disk and put it in a different computer where the product is installed. Also, there is no way to make a bootable CD for use in repairing problems where the system cannot boot up. So, what use is Norton Disk Doctor then if it can only be used when the disk is working?

And of course with the product activation, you must know where you need the product installed before you need it because you have only one chance to install it and it can never be uninstalled and moved to a different computer.

1 Star Lousy customer support
I’ve had to reformat my computer several times and each time I either get Norton Go Back to work, or the other diagnostics, but not both at the same time. A technician tried to help me online, but was unable. He told me someone would contact me the next day to resolve. That was months ago. It is still unresolved.

Norton does not seem to care about ensuring that its products work properly and this is one of the reasons I may be switching to a Mac for my next computer.

1 Star Be Ready to Waste Days of Your Life Installing this!!!!
As a computer-literate, 10+ year veteran of using the Norton/Symantec brand, I have to call it quits after this. With a previous version of SystemWorks installed on my XP desktop, this SystemWorks upgrade required running Norton Removal Tool prior to installing–only the Removal Tool couldn’t hack it. After wasting days trying to succeed with the install, I’ve given up. I’ll find another Brand.

3 Stars Hmmmmmmm
I’m not real impressed with this program. I find you have to be online to access most of the graphics, and they just keep adding the same old graphics to the program each time. I want a lot of new stuff!

1 Star Worst Printmaster of All
I should have listened to the reviews. I’ve been using Printmaster since PM 8 came out. I always loved it and used it frequently. My two kids used previous versions for school for years and got incredible grades with it. Believe me, PM 18 needs the internet to download for a LOT of the art and projects, too many if you ask me. A real big inconvenience to Broderbund loyal customers. Shame on you Broderbund.

Out of 1,305,000 images, 92,000 are on the system, the rest you have to download. Out of 21,000 projects, 1,000 of them are on the system. This is unacceptable. I hate it.

1 Star Very disappointed in BorderBund They messed up a Great Product
I have used printmaster for several years and I have been very impressed with the product. Especially PM16 it works very good. But I am now using PM18 and I do not like it at all. The graphics that were in 16 are not all there and you have to access the interenet to download the graphics I am not at all happy about that. I do not understand why they took such a great product and messed it up this way. I dont know if I will ever buy another version of PM. They do not even tell you that you have to download the graphics from the interenet every time and I think that is deceptive and you can’t talk to anyone about the problems. I have removed this version and gone back to version 16. Just a waste of my money and time.

4 Stars Well worth the money
Upon receiving the Printmaster,I found the directions were quite simple.I made out a bunch of Christmas cards,in which I got great reviews.Plan on using it alot in the coming months/years.I highly recommend this program.

4 Stars Great graphics, suitable for all your projects!
I have used Broderbund publishing programs for many years, upgrading them as new versions came out. My current software is the latest version of Printmaster, compatible w/Windows Vista, which is installed on my new laptop. The quality & graphics of this newest software is as excellent as all the previous versions were. I’m completely satisfied with it.
