    Duration of ownership:6 Months

    Strengths: Cheap

    Weaknesses: Slows down your computer, Many flaws

    Overall Evaluation: The product installed alright but gave me internal Program Error (3038,104). After I spent many hours trying to fix the error, another problem seemed to appear!The product slows down your computer quiet a bit. I talked to norton they told me to make certain changes, but it did not improved performance much. At this moment, I am thinking of uninstallin and trying different antivirus softwares.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: better than no av

    Weaknesses: other av is better

    Overall Evaluation: norton av 2008 takes so much to install and uninstall. I'm not even sure if uninstalling it completely remove it from my pc. I did not run an extensive test on av detection with it, but one thing i noticed was that it slows down my pc tremendously while using internet explorer. taking slow down in consideration, I can't recommend norton av to anyone with a slow pc. I'm using amdx2.

    Duration of ownership:2 Weeks

    Strengths: detected some viruses

    Weaknesses: too big program, drag the system slow

    Overall Evaluation: Symantec Norton is a very big name in this internet security field, that's why I got it first. The installation was easy and it worked. The bigest problem is that this program is way too big in size than other antivirus programs. I could feel the system running slower, and the CPU fan span more often. Maybe I need a new computer to run it.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: product was fast in delivery

    Weaknesses: doesn't seem to stop all viruses

    Overall Evaluation: Norton 2008 was not successfully installed on my computer. I was using previous versions of it in past years and still got a virus that shut my computer down. I am looking at another form of virus protection.

    Strengths: blocks virus

    Weaknesses: slows computer

    Overall Evaluation: NAV is the best Antivirus program out there. It blocks anything I could think of that needs blocking plus anything I can't think of. Simple to set up and easier to use than older versions. Only problem I have noticed is when the computer goes to sleep it turns off NAV and you have to manually turn it back on when you wake up your computer. I am on cable modem so connection is always on. I think NAV should be also.

    Duration of ownership:3 Days

    Strengths: Fast delivery

    Weaknesses: No manual

    Overall Evaluation: This product was delivered to me in less than 5 days. I have been using Norton Antivirus for many years and so I am familiar with the program. I installed the program, like I normally would, but I still am not sure this product is working properly. None of the windows I'm familiar with have appeared, and I have not received any notice that the program is working or not. Very weird.
