5 of 5 Great Buy! Tuesday, April 29, 2008 Bonnie from Greensboro, NC
The purchase price & rebates made this an excellent purchase. My order was received quickly and the product is easy to install and run. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Good buy, can't complain at this stage! Monday, April 28, 2008 Happy Customer!!! from Baltimore, MD
I bought this item with a bit of hesitation/suspicion since some of the reviews (elsewhere!) I had read were pretty bad!
But eventually muscled up the courage to install it.....on my new Toshiba laptop running Vita Premium!
The installation went without a hitch, first it asked me to remove McAFee (which came with the laptop) and second to reboot!
Then it went on to remove Norton Confidential (also part of the trail software) and installed everything in about 15 mins!
Overall a breeze.....after which it went into a scan mode and told to update/verify various bits and pieces and it has not slowed down the system (another worry!)
I would recommend this to others as well. Happy Customer....
Now all I have to do is wait for the 60 dollar rebates!!! Was this review helpful?
1 of 5 Stink, Stank, Stunk Friday, April 25, 2008 Jeffrey J from Curtice, Ohio
This is a terrible product. Do not buy! You'll spend days getting it to run only to have it mess up your computer. Symantec should be ashamed of itself for putting such crap on the market! Was this review helpful?
1 of 2 customers found this review helpful. 5 of 5 Very comprehensive product Sunday, April 13, 2008 A Customer from Greenville, Tx
From other reviews I was a concerned about the reported slow performance of this product. After the install, it did slow down my AMD x2 64 bit system. After further investigation, I found that all the features were turned on. I did not need many of the features and I turned them off. This improved the speed considerably. The software now works just as good as any security software. It has a lot of nice features including the saving of logins and passwords so you don't have to remember them.
If you enable all the features, you can protect your computer against improper use such as visiting web sites that secretly install software that can steal your identity or even your passwords, but you will take a hit on speed.
This is an excelent product as long as you read the instructions and enable just what you need. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great protection, doesn't slow system much Sunday, April 13, 2008 A Customer from Akron, Ohio
I've used Symantec products since 1992 and 360 since it first came out. Most recently, Systemworks and Norton Antivirus. They slowed my systems significantly. This product seems to provide excellent protection without slowing things down much. Automatic defrag and backup also help. Sometimes I forget and am reminded only when a hard drive crashes or my system has slowed to a crawl and defrag becomes an all night affair. I like 360 and 360 v. 2!!! Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Skip backup Saturday, April 12, 2008 A Customer from Huntsville, AL
Excellent all purpose security and system maintenance tool - but disable the backup option. It is not customizable enough and extremely slow to setup and use. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Works well, I guess Monday, April 07, 2008 ffacker@yahoo.com from Houston, TX
It seems to run well on both my Vista and XP systems. The automatic backup settings are nice. I'm still waiting on my rebates to eventually show up ... someday. The only thing I don't like is that I wish I could turn it off while I'm doing heavy video editing, but there's no option to disable it once it's installed. Was this review helpful?
