Symantec Norton Confidential 2007

  Strengths: It's "Norton"

  Weaknesses: Not particularly useful, and made my system run very s-l-o-o-o-o-w

  Overall: It sounded good in the ad. I downloaded this onto my Mac (OS 10.4) and in setting it up began to wonder what it was going to do for me that common sense wouldn't. It "keeps my sensitive information from being sent out" for instance. Hey, I'm the one sending it.And then I began to notice that my system had slowed considerably. The Mac "mail" utility took forever to send an outgoing mail, and it finally dawned that maybe Norton Confidential was reviewing everything I sent before letting it go.Long story short, I uninstalled the utility, things are running fast, and I'm happy. I like the Norton Antivirus for the Mac, but this one's a bust.

  Strengths: password management if it works properly

  Weaknesses: feels like it is still in beta test

  Overall: I did not expect too much from it for antispyware but I do want Norton confidential could help me in password management. Its malfunction and its impact on the browser speed really make it like a malware. Stay away from it until Symantec takes this product seriously.

  Strengths: None

  Weaknesses: Unstable. Difficult to use. Does not install on non-english Windows.

  Overall: At first, I wanted to use this product on my laptop with Japanese Windows XP, but the CD refused to install the product because the Windows is not Englsh version. So I had no choice but to install it on my desktop. Though it provided all the promised functions, it took up much of resources, and slowed down the whole system.

  Strengths: In theory has some useful features

  Weaknesses: In reality, I'm not sure what this is good at. Also, it uses too many system resources

  Overall: I'm not quite sure why you would want this product. It is supposed to help manage passwords, save you from phishing, and all kinds of good things. In reality it isn't overly useful and just slows down your machine. I expected better from Symantec since they usually product fairly solid products. This one is a disappointment.

  Strengths: Nothing

  Weaknesses: Please don't make the purchase.

  Overall: As I said before don't purchase this software, whatever price U get. This software is not at all good. Can't find or catch all the virues and fraud sites. It gave me hard time to install and after I was done my system perfomance became slow very slow. U can't compare this software with any other symantec product. It is not even near to them. There is only onething good about this software is, defenitely we are sure that we will never ever buy this software at any cost. That it makes sure. Nothing good about it.
