  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Product is now much less resource intensive, less intrusive. Updates are smaller and occur more often.

  Weaknesses:CD only contains minimum product content. If you have an dial-up connection, be prepared to wait while it downloads 32-39 MB of updates.

  Overall Evaluation: Product now exhibits better feedback when performing Live Update. Rather than just saying "Processing", it now provides progress (not a bar) with current and totals in KBs/MBs.

  Strengths: Speedy installation; honest reporting of resource hit; intuitive; built-in password vault; 3-PC license

  Weaknesses:Online activation and have to setup account

  Overall Evaluation: This is easily Symantec's best release of this product! I have read that the 2009 release was a total ground up design, and it seems so. Installation took about two minutes, and only required one reboot. You do have to activate the product, which can be an issue if you are one who frequently does fresh OS installs. This is a 3-PC license, allowing you to install on up to three computers in your home. The title is misleading, as it's technically not three users, just three PCs. You also have to create a Norton Account online, which is convenient in that it keeps your keys and registration deadlines in one place, but I don't like giving up personal information!This is the fastest and lightest NIS ever! I don't even know its running, and I almost never get annoying pop-ups, which I would get with the 2007 release. There is a little meter which tells you how much their software is using of your CPU! I also like that they now integrated their old Norton Password Manager product. I was not able to read-in my old password vault from that product, however.

  Strengths: Works during idle time. Doesn't seem to be a memory hog like previous versions. Not overly intrusive.

  Weaknesses:The spam filter is absolutely worthless. It catches personal email and doesn't filter obvious spam.

  Overall Evaluation: I would have given 5 stars if the spam filter was of any use whatsover. Otherwise, this is much better than previous versions of Norton. It does not bog down my computer.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: noticeably faster performance

  Weaknesses:installation asks for sign ups regarding unnecessary informational requirements. expanded parental controls would make the product more useful. Price is a little steep.

  Overall Evaluation: In the past, I always dreaded installing Norton software as it took so long and was so bloated. this product installs noticeably quicker, and with less evident system drain.This software package has it all: spyware, email scanning, antivirus, and many others. Though some files qualify for a "white list" or not requiring scanning as often, it would help if Norton came up with a better/faster way to avoid scanning all files every time a scan is done. Missed some spyware that another program caught.
