5 of 5Great price. Meets it's claims. Thursday, March 26, 2009 A Customer from Seattle, WA
The computer I was trying to install on was compromised so I had to download a rapid release update for this product. Once that was done it only took a few minutes to set the system right.
The install was easy even on a compromised system.

5 of 5Nice Wednesday, March 25, 2009 Elivs from Memphis, TN
Looks like the same as before for protection but have made it MUCH easier to turn on / off the active part. Kinda silly steamtech looking interface but hey ...Right click and tell it to turn on the "game mode" ... pop up shows how long you want to be in that mode - also gives a "until restart" ... no digging for to turn off and forgetting to turn on ... dig it!

5 of 5Fine product - good value Sunday, March 22, 2009 Will from Annapolis MD
Protects 3 PCs. Slightly dorky looking gamey interface. No big deal and if it is cheaper than other versions of Norton 2009 I recommend it.

5 of 5Norton continues to amaze Saturday, March 21, 2009 Robert Friedman from Pickerington, Ohio
The first thing I noticed after installing the product was that my system ran much faster than before. My Email loaded much quicker, my games ran faster.
The program truly runs in the background. It doesn't bog the system down while running a scan, thus freeing up sys resources.
I opted for the free "standard" delivery and was pleasantly surprised to see it on my doorstep after only 2 days! Great service!
