Norton Internet Security 2008 5 User

My PC has a 2.2g duel core intel processor with 2g RAM (any of you folks out there who still has less than 1 g of ram, or still using single core, please, stop complaining abt new softwares slowing down your PC & get real!). I was using NIS 2006 previously on this PC. Recently, the subscription 4 NIS 2006 ran out so I uninstalled it (which went without a glitch!!!! yes, I just used the normal "do it from the control panel method"!). Then I loaded in NIS 2008. Man! My boot up actually speeded up! I know some of you folks have all kinds of complain but I don't see this at all! Who says this product slow down you PC? I think it only slow down those PC who doesn't have the processing power in the first place.

I love Symantec's Norton Internet Security! I've been using this 2 protect my computer since 2002, & haven't had any problems. As soon as I installed this 2008 version, Symantec sent me a message letting me know a free upgrade was available 2 the 2009 version! Plus, I received this item earlier than expected. I couldn't be any happier! Thanks!

This is not 4 "3 Users" but 4 one user on 3 PCs -- so the product name is deliberately deceptive. Plus, although I signed up 4 Automatic Renewal, I'm getting a pop=up every FEW MINUTES ( !!! ) telling me "there's a problem with your Symantec protection" -- & the "problem" is that "there are only xx days" until the subscription runs out ! So the idea is 2 annoy me until I renew a month early -- & since the subscription renews from that point onward, I lose a month I've paid for. So they deliberately set it up 2 force you 2 lose a month or be annoyed incessantly by a popup every few minutes. I'm going 2 delete this & go 2 any of the "Open Source" anti-virus (which get excellent reviews) that were created & maintained by engineers who got tired of this money-grubbing treatment.

WARNING 2 anyone thinking about buying this product! Please understand that you will not be buying this product only RENTING it. If you do not renew every year the product stops working....COMPLETELY! I'm not just talking about updates, etc. It actually tells you that it has stopped working & it won't work unless you renew. I have just wasted more than 2 hours with Norton's online tech support. This is the case with ALL Norton products & I am quoting the tech.

I ordered Norton off of Amazon & I got it in like a week or so.I installed it & ever since then I've never had any infections or complications. My computer runs smoothly & almost as fast as when I bought it newly despite all the programs stored on my PC. It's really amazing. There's also a really nifty feature called Live Update. This feature downloads the latest updates like every 2 or 5 hours because new types of viruses are being released faster than you can say "virus" so it updates the capability of Norton 2 detect them. It's really sweet. It also doesn't leave cluttered trash all over your desktop like some other types. There's just one icon on the desktop which gives you access 2 all the services it offers & or Vista users, it's on the sidebar too. There's also a small icon on the toolbar that turns red 2 indicate a problem. Simply click on it & it takes you straight 2 it, telling you what 2 do all along. Green means everything is ok. It also scans your computer in the background every week silently 2 make sure that there are no hidden viruses. Really, there are so many features in this product that I could describe but all I'm gonna say is that this is definitely one of the best. I've not regretted this product one bit & trust me you won't.
