Don't waste your money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a waste of time and money.
The product installed alright but, gives Internal Program Error (3038,104). Basically, it will not run a scan.
Tried the suggestions it offered with no sucess. The next option was to "Contact Us". This resulted in the phone company telling me the phone number is no longer valid.
Online support has many options that took me down paths that did not correspond to the problem I'm having. Can you say $%*#!!!!!!
At present, I'm attempting to get a refund but, since I purchased mail order and, did actually install the product...it doesn't look good.
Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After problems with Microsoft and McAfee, Norton works for me.
First I tried Microsoft LiveCare... problems with installation, problems with configuration and problems with operation. Forget that nonsense!
Then I tried McAfee Total Protection 2008... great initial impression, nice functionality and usability, however the razzmafrazzin thing wouldn't register (and what good is system and virus protection if you can't get regular updates?).
I've had Norton Antivirus 2008 for 2 months now and things are smooth. Not complaints, regular updates coming from Norton, and no degradation of service. I can't speak to the quality of Norton's customer service for the simple reason that I didn't need their help. The product installed, registered with Norton and hasn't given me any problems whatsoever.
You need antivirus protection, pure and simple. And Norton Antivirus delivers ably.

great product
this product was the first and the only antivirus software i use! i started using this in 2003 or something and works great and has improved tremendously throughout the years.
I've even sold this software on amazon in the new condition a couple of times and is sold within 2days!! sorry, but i can't tell you how i acquired this product to sell on amazon for such a low price unopened. seller secret!

Bloatware dressed up as virus protection
I've never been a fan of Norton products, but unfortunately I have to use them on several computers at work. While I don't have a formal education in computers, I've built several of them from scratch, am an early adopter of things like Vista 64-bit, and spend a lot of time reading about them. Frankly, Norton anti-virus uses so much system resources it should be classified as bloatware, or even malware.
If you want your computer to run 30% slower, buy it. If you want your computer to run 10-15% slower, buy Macafee. If you want your computer protected from viruses and to run at peak efficiency, download one of the excellent, free virus software suites that are available.
