This product sounds good - but is a serious pain to try and get up and running on your PC! Installing is quick, but then the problems start - I was offered an upgrade to the latest version and thought this was sensible so went ahead. The subsequent installation sent my ant-virus program and firewall application into a frenzy and I had to reinstall from scratch. When it eventually is up and running it takes forever to create a reasonable size 'safe' and even on my modern, memory rich, PC it slowed everything down to a crawl while that process took place.
Frankly, this is a poor product and very disappointing - there must be better products out there to do the job and I'm off to find them now. But first I'll uninstall this and ... Read More:

Having bought this and used it for over 100 days to backup my computer, I then had a problem and had to move from the save function to the restore function.
Hours of phone calls to support diagnosing v2isr.exe errors, downloading new versions of the disk, brought no relief.
I was then told by symantec, that I required a cd-rom burner and software to move onwards...something you'll note was not on the list of their system requirements, so add £100 to the cost of the software to make it work.
After shelling out for a burner, the v2isr.exe error persists, and Symantec have suggestion I purchase (yes you read that right) purchase ghost 14, as that works....

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 Upon Starting the PC I am greeted with multiple pop-ups - Virus Definitions Out of Date and Virus Scan Out of Date etc etc.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.

Okay, so you've done some digging around on the internet and maybe elsewhere, looking for that program that'll stop viruses and various other unknown amounts of nasties getting on your computer. Norton? McAfee? Ring any bells? Well this program DOESN'T do this.
Fine... so a five star review for a program which claims to protect your system and isn't an antivirus. Wacky? Wacky. But please, bear with me. This program is designed to hop onto your internet browser (either Internet Explorer or Firefox you'll be glad to hear) and prevent the current user from clicking unknowingly on a link which will lead you to a site which will stuff your PC full of things you don't want. This thing tells you when you're about to do something horrific and generally ... Read More:
