Which Norton Solution Is Right For Me?

I've used Norton Antivirus before in previous years and didn't like it much. Didn't find it particularly user friendly.
This 2009 version is vastly improved. It loaded very easily, and has run simply and very well. It alerts me when ever there is an attempted atack or I've tried downloading something that comtains a threat. I am very pleased with this. AND I'm very pleased with the price I paid from Amazon.com!

I have used Norton products for years, and I will continue to use Norton products. This is a product that can be trusted.

This program made my computer seize up and reboot. After several occurences of this nature, I uninstalled it and went with AVG.

Was great to see such a good price on an item I really needed. I ordered 2 and gave one of them to a friend who also needed one and still paid less than I would have paid for one shopping locally. Love the fact that there is no shipping and handling fees on purchases over 25.00. You can bet I will check all the gold box values everyday. Amazon you do a fantastic job.

Well, it is Norton. The industry standard as far as I am concerned. I have had only Norton since 2005 after a rather sad experience with McAfee. I was slightly miffed that I had to download a separate Norton Removal Tool, but it wasn't that big a deal.

The only reason I took off one star was that the Removal Tool also deleted one of my drivers (my MP3 player), and I had to do some "work-around" to get it back up and going.
