Summary: Norton Antivirus 2009

Summary: Great Product and Good Service
Comment: Was great to see such a good price on an item I really needed. I ordered 2 and gave one of them to a friend who also needed one and still paid less than I would have paid for one shopping locally. Love the fact that there is no shipping and handling fees on purchases over 25.00. You can bet I will check all the gold box values everyday. Amazon you do a fantastic job.

Summary: Norton Anti-virus
Comment: Well, it is Norton. The industry standard as far as I am concerned. I have had only Norton since 2005 after a rather sad experience with McAfee. I was slightly miffed that I had to download a separate Norton Removal Tool, but it wasn't that big a deal.
The only reason I took off one star was that the Removal Tool also deleted one of my drivers (my MP3 player), and I had to do some "work-around" to get it back up and going.

Summary: Vista and Norton - NOT COMPATIBLE
Comment: I have always liked Norton and we buy it every year, but since we got a new computer with Vista installed in it, it seems like Norton has been more of a burden than a useful tool. Recently, I had some connection issues and called tech support for my provider and I got this great guy who has advanced knowledge of Vista and tons of anti-virus software programs. He called Norton, "Norton, The Destroyer." Says it's a nickname the guys in the techie world use. Anyway, he said that the problem I was having involved Vista and not the server and that Vista was probably corrupted and Norton probably had a hand in it. Ugh!!! Now I have to restore my computer back to factory setting and back up EVERYTHING. This is the third time I have had to do while I was using some version of Norton. The guy I talked to highly recommended NOD32, which I bought today on Amazon. When I restore my computer, NO MORE NORTON. I will install NOD32, which got rave reviews, and see how it works out for me. I hope I NEVER have to do a system restore again!

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: As some others have mentioned, this version of Norton will not work with any non-Norton firewall. I had used Zonealarm (a free firewall program) along with Norton for many years...faithfully renewing and upgrading Norton each year. Now upon installing Norton 2009, Zonealarm was uninstalled and I have no firewall. By sneaking in this incompatibility, they have lost me as a customer. I still gave it 3 stars because, presumably, it still blocks viruses. But who knows.
