Install was improvement over the older versions. In the past after a fresh install I had to run live update 3-5 times to get all the patches -- typically with a reboot in between. With this version the install downloaded patches and there was only 1 live update for the latest virus definitions post intall.
Installed on 2 systems -- one was perfect. The 2nd system had a problem when clients tried to connect to the printer. The firewall was rejecting requests and client reported ... Read More

As always, Norton is a bit slow at start up (unless you want to pay more for the 360). This is a 3 user account. Loaded on 2 different machines with 2 different results of ease. I do have a 3rd computer, but it is a MAC and there is no exceptions from Norton. I did find it cheaper a few days afterward, but already had to return it once (shipped single user)and did not want to go through that again. However, Norton is still the best out there.

The difference is like day and night. One minute my laptop was performing fairly well for a 4+ year old machine, then with Norton (painfully long installation)it takes forever to open a web page, everything is unworkably slow and often freezes up. Maybe on newer PC's with excess speed and memory to spare it might not be so noticeable but why would you spend good money on computing power just to have it wasted by anti-virus software.
I gave it one star partly because Amazon doesn't allow ... Read More

This was an upgrade to NIS 2005. OS is Windows XP SP2. Absolutely no problems during the install, and after a month the system is operating well with no glitches (unlike w/NIS 2005). Boot up is much faster. User interface is not that complicated. I would recommend this update to previous users of Norton NIS.

I had the previous version of Norton before I purchased 2008 and should have done more research. I tried 2008 in both of my computers and it was slow and caused problems that I don't even want to get into. Uninstalled it and threw the disk away that had one more install for another computer. I've been with Norton for years but they really screwed up with 2008. Never again.
