I have to completely disagree with ShahinD's review below. In the past, Norton's used to be the flavor of choice for good antivirus protection for the small office / home office (SoHo) environment, but now I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. As a former beta tester for Symantec, I have to say that this is the worst I've seen. Totally bloated, incredibly large and unacceptable memory footprint, and not the best detection rate for av/malware. If you're going to buy for the SoHo environment, get Nod32. Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition is excellent up to version 10.1 for XP, 10.2 for Vista. After that, the new Symantec System Protection needs some work before it's a safe and acceptable replacement. Nod32 has an extremely small install, memory footprint, and malware detection is top notch. Sligh learning curve to use it, but it can't be beat. Avoid this or you will be sorry.

This is the worst program in the world for home use. It loads way too many processes, slows any system down to a crawl and does not play nice wit a lot of other programs. One in particular are any Webroot products, which actually make your system unusable. As an IT administrator I tell any client that has it installed to remove it and use something else like AVG. Add an antispyware program and you are all set and you can do it all for free for good products.

Norton does have very good detection and alright protection but if it finds somthin sometimes it dont fix it. norton is bloatware now unless they changed it in this 2008 version. Norton has been around prolly the longest.

Got charged for renewal of software by these folks on credit card I used a year ago to purchase for a friend. My e-mails to them went unanswered. I had to dispute charge with credit card company. I bet I end up fighting this again next year. My fault I know for not carefully reading the agreement that said I was signing up forever. My advice: If you must use their limiting products be very carefull what you sign up for.
