  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.

  Strengths: I never thought the day would come when I would speak of Norton Antivirus as being perhaps the best all-around anti-malware solution on the market. In the past I found NAV to be a serious memory and system resource hog and it's detection rate had much to be desired. I can say goodbye to those days. NAV 2007 is significantly lighter on system resources and has a very reliable and dependable detection rate even though I still practice and believe in layered security and not depending on a single solution for protection. Though it is not advertised, NAV 2007 also includes Firewall protection which is great. Most other antivirus products do not include this without charging extra for it. With NAV 2007 combined with Webroot SpySweeper I believe I have the perfect one, two knockout combination against malware.

  Weaknesses: The only weakness I can see in NAV 2007 right now is it's detection rate of spyware. While it is not terrible it could be much improved. The latest testing from AV-Comparatives in the spyware category for NAV 2007 was decent at 89% percent but I believe this can be improved to at least 95%. This is why I have Webroot SpySweeper alongside NAV 2007.

  Overall Evaluation: I'm No Longer A Hater Of NAV 2007 But A Fan. This Version Is A Much Improved Version.

  Strengths: Brings upset customers together in forums like this. The nage screen also informs you how many more days you have to deal with this POS (Piece of Software) before your subscription will run out and you can deal with anybody else.

  Weaknesses: This box is not big enough to start. Suffice it to say, use ANYTHING but this software!!

  Overall Evaluation: I am like other people here on this forum. I initially installed it on my wife's computer 6 months ago and forgot what a nightmare it was to install. Then, I helped a friend install hers and got to practice my Hindi for about 2 1/2 hours of which I used the word, "what did you just say?" I think it got installed on her computer, but had to leave after watching something install for awhile. Then, I made the ABSOLUTE HUGE MISTAKE of renewing my software because I couldn't deal with their constant nag screen. Now, Firefox will not load, I go to the help menu and it tells me what to do and I diligently follow it. Then, the Firewall freezes and then allows nothing on the computer to happen. I really do not want to practice my Hindi. I hope Symantec has saved millions by outsourcing their call center and realize that they should quit taking from their customers their profits and start investing in getting this POS to work right. That won't happen. Once an exec gets the taste of huge bonuses - well, there are other places we can cut back on. Just keep putting the same crap out there, fire the good techs and outsource them to that gradeschool sweatshop in a 3rd world company - but spend more on Marketing and Advertising! If we say it enough, then it will be a fact we are the BEST out there!

  Duration of ownership:18 Years

  Strengths: Supported by a leader in the industry for personal computer prootection. Good with updates without interruption of work.

  Weaknesses: Not always the best choice with compatibility. But that is true of most utility software.

  Overall Evaluation: While no software is guaranteed to work on every system, I've been using Norton Utilities and Antivirus since Norton was its own brand in a non-windows DOS system.Sure, there are times when the product just doesn't deliver, but after more than 20 years in the PC business, that is true of most utilities on the market. Symantec has done an exceptional job with R & D and keeping current with intrusion detection and protection technology. This would be one of the most important considerations when you buy protection software. They offer a 100% refund guarantee if you don't like it or it doesn't work on your system. I'd place my money on this product over most any other anti-virus software.

  Strengths: Couldn't install!

  Weaknesses: Couldn't install because it is not compatible with other security software notably ZoneAlarm.

  Overall Evaluation: Smaller companies have to be compatible with the big players, but I Couldn't install Norton AntiVirus because it is not compatible with other security software notably ZoneAlarm. Their arrogance and greed just turns me off. You've got my money, but you've lost my business!
