User Reviews for Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2007

Reviewed by: verdunwatts

Duration of ownership: 2 Years

Strengths: I loved the programs for Norton SystemWorks but the 2007 version kept crashing and finally locked up my computer. Got it off of my system and got a refund from Norton but...

Weaknesses: The Norton SystemWorks programs kept crashing and finally locked up my system which has more than enough horsepower to handle it. Also getting it off of my system took a lot more work than I would expect.

Overall Evaluation: I would expect that Norton will clean up this product or take it off of the market. I have probably used prior versions for over 10 years. Very dissappointed.

Weaknesses:

Overall Evaluation: I bought Norton AntiVirus 2007 which Symantec says is Windows Vista ready. I downloaded the vista update for Norton AntiVirus 2007 from Symantec website as advised. But my Windows Vista says that the downloaded file is not suitable for this version of Windows. So, I can't even install the Norton AntiVirus 2007. I felt cheated and looked for the recommendations of good anti-virus softwares. I found that PC World has awarded Best Buy to Kaspersky Anti-Virus and I downloaded and installed it. The installation was very smooth and easy. Kaspersky works well with Vista and now I am happy.
