I have recently set up my new Mac laptop (having given up on Windows and its numerous problems) with both Leopard OS and Windows XP using Parallels. So I was keen given wide use of Norton over the years in protecting my Windows PCs to protect against such viruses and also cover the Mac side being infected (plus being the target of many new virus attacks I suspect as Apples computers popularity grows).
This seemed the ideal product - but at the last minute noticed it only works with Vista (!) which ironically was the actual reason why I had given up on Windows PCs, given the dreadful way that system had been rolled out and the numerous problems seen.
Sadly now that XP is a very stable and robust system to use, Microsoft ... Read More:

The product is an absolute joke. And the Technical Support / Customer Service at Symantec is even worse.
1.) Upon Starting the PC I am greeted with multiple pop-ups - Virus Definitions Out of Date and Virus Scan Out of Date etc etc. On entering the software everything is ok.....
2.) The system seems to hang on the "one button check up" during the Norton Cleanup scan and then after 30 minutes will find files to clean up. Example found 763 then cleaned. Immediately ran again and found 1091, then cleaned (again). Immediately ran again and found 2111.
3.) Have used Symantec Chat on 4 occasions and each time they tell me that it is sorted. When I start the computer again, the problems start again.

The description on Amazon does not refer to the fact that on the box Norton say if you use Norton Internet Security they recommend that you select & use Norton Systemworks Basic Edition. I presume they must clash or something but just looking at the items on Amazon it looked the better to buy. Now I have to go & return this item - what a hassle!

Provides excellent internet security, free updates, user friendly and more and more features... Easy to install even though it takes some more time than the previous product. But it covers more area and therefore it overcomes that deficit. It gives maximum security and I highly recommend this product. I actually purchased the version 1 nearly 7 months back but recently it has been upgraded free to version 2 by Norton! ...Great news!!
