Norton 360 - Great experience, don't believe naysayers...
I found this product to be superior to earlier versions of the "Norton Suites" and would recommend it to friend or foe.
VERY IMPORTANT SUGGESTION:
After installation of Norton 360, you may notice significantly slower operation which can span a rather lengthy period of time. PLEASE allow the P/C to continue running Norton 360 until the package no longer indicates "Items at issue". This message appears on the initial screen when the software is loaded from the desktop icon.
Norton 360 will automatically do the following if you do not power-down or log-off the P/C:
1. Update the software via the internet web site to reflect the most current versions. (Automatically runs LiveUpdate)
2. Delete extraneous files and recover wasted space from tempoary files, internet activity, internet history, etc.
3. Check and optimize the data files that need De-Fragmentation.
4. Clean up your Windows Registry and fix problems left by the addition or removal of other software packages ....
5. Perform many additional household cleaning activities from which you may benefit.
JUST DON'T POWER IT OFF or LOG OFF. You will force Norton to perform recovery and START ALL OVER.
I have honestly found the package has significantly improved the performance of many P/C's if I just leave it alone and exercise some patience.

Norton 360 - full circle protection!
Now that Macs are able to work in both platforms, we need the security that only Norton 360 can provide. As a long term Norton AntiVirus owner, it was a natural for me to try Norton 360. Great product!

Misery, Misery, Misery in a Multi User Environment
Huge resource hog. Unable to make Norton 360 understand how to operate in a Multi User Environment. On Windows XP or Windows 2000 Professional. And the off-shore help professionals are useless. Avoid this software!!!!

Stink, Stank, Stunk!!!
This is the worst Norton product ever!!! They should be ashamed at even releasing it. My computer has been used more be their service techs than by me. Shame on you Norton!!!!

Do not purchase.
My subscription to Norton Internet Security 2006 was expiring so after reading a review on CNet I purchased Norton 360 as an upgrade at the Symantec Store. Initially, installation of the product disc went well and I registered the product. Two weeks later I was warned I was not protected. I had not registered. I tried to register again and was told I was registered. (Big surprise.) I could not get activated again so I deleted it an reinstalled it. During one virus scan I was notified about a jackposh trojan. I had contacted customer service online and after transfers to 3 persons and a loss of an additional 99.95 the trojan was removed. Programs were installed for remote access. These were not removed nor did I ever get a receipt for my payment of service.
Norton360 removed more virus and trojans only when I manually initiate comprehensive scans. Norton blocked trojans and other attacks in other Norton products. Now, this product, or the corporation, concentrates on repair for 99.95 a pop rather than prevention.
I wrote a letter to the California office. I did not receive a reply. I was called about my "grievances".I called the number given in a voicemail message. I spent quite a long time talking to a representative who may or may not have been in the USA. My guess he was not but spoke very good English.He was very professional, patient and polite. He finally arranged for me to get a refund of the product purchase price but refused to refund the 99.95 service fee.
I have deleted all Norton/Symantec product from my computer.
I am now using Kaspersky Internet Security. My business partnership with Norton/Symantec is over.
Update: April 10, 2008
My new Security program deleted almost 100 virus/trojans/adware,and etc. files. Norton is not the business it once was. My computer is so much happier. It really performs like a new computer.
