I received this product on Oct. 26,2006 and have been using it for only three days, so my observations are a little limited.

I successfully installed the program and created an account with Symantec -- no problems there. It ran a full system scan and found and removed some problem files. However, as another rater posted, it slowed down Windows to an agonizing crawl (it took over a minute just to launch an application). Every click of the mouse key meant at least 20 seconds for Windows to respond.

Disappointed and wondering if I was going to have to invoke Symantec's warranty of a 60-day refund if not satisfied, I uninstalled the program. With Norton gone, Windows ran FASTER than before I had installed Norton! It must have cleaned up something.

So, I went to Symantec's site and found their "FAQs" (had to use their search engine to find them) and looked for a problem similar. There was one, and it said that my system might not have enough memory. I... Read more

Gotta admit I am one of those who think the only 100% secure computer is unplugged. But even then somebody can break into your home or business and steal it...so I guess I should make that 99.9%.<G> Therefore I am not in the habit of giving 5 stars to any security program, but I am taken by this one.

Though everyone needs security, it's easy to go overboard and make the cure far worse than the potential disease.Have heard horror stories about past Norton interfaces and programs. If true, they sure have changed.

I am always happy when a suite installs easily and remains conflict free. In fact I move to the security suite approach years ago, due to conflicts I experienced with separates.

Folks I symathize with any and all sorts of installation problems...they happen...but everybody should know to uninstall all their security programs ...then restart the computer...before they install a new security suite.

I use spysweeper. Uninstalled... Read more

This review is more of a warning then a review. I just want those of you who are thinking of buying this product to know a few truths before you take the dive.

Lie number 1: This edition say that you have the right to use it on three different computers for a year. This is a lie! I have spent hours on the phone with Symantec's "Tech Support"(LOL!)and I have been told repeatedly by customer service reps of all levels that the term "3 USER" as stated on the box, actually means "3 Activations". What this means is that if your Windows OS crashes and you have to reinstall Windows and NIS 2007, or if you have to reinstall NIS 2007 for any reason what so ever, you have to reactivate the installation and Symantec counts that as a different computer. To give you an example, I will tell you what happened to me. I have a desktop and my daughter has a laptop. I bought NIS 2007 and installed it on both. 2 weeks after I installed NIS 2007 on my desktop, my hard drive went out... Read more
