Summary: DO NOT PURCHASE FROM AMAZON!!!!
Review: You can get the same product directly from Symantec and it will include 1 year's live update subscription. I purchased this product for the full price and there is no way I can activate it without having to pay for another 1 year live update subscription which should have been part of the product!!!!

Summary: Too bulky, fewer updates than others..Not worth the price
Review: Norton has made good products for many years. Her old Dos Utilities were second to none. I rescued many a disks with Norton Utilities and restored systems with Ghost.Live update is aweful. One thing thats troubling is updates seem a bit late. MyDoom response was far too slow. The nice GUI and buttons and features many are just not needed and more for user entertainment. I guess really novice PC users like it but really it does take a good amount of system resources vs some other solutions. I dont care for McAfee much either. One I found that works well is F-Secure Inc. They dont sell boxes in the stores but its a bit less bulky and they update really often. That lil Finnish company has been first on many of them. They have an auto updates through backweb. Its pretty nice.. Norton needs to get back to basics and stop trying to design its Av software like its a playstation game. My 2 cents.. But Norton Ghost is still greatness! -Nate

Summary: Worst than free
Review: This is very popular but very poor software. It will slow down your system significantly.
It claims to do it all, it does but it does it all poorly. If system protection is the goal, NAV is better than nothing, but you can get much better for free.
Just go to Microsoft site auto-update and go to "1-2-3" and in step 3 go for one year free AV download, go here http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/

Summary: Good Upgrade
Review: I upgraded to this Norton AV and found no problems. I have been using Norton products starting with their first utility in the old days of DOS only. Over the years I have found that most, if not all, problems with installation are due to various Windows versions and rarely the product itself. For best results your computer should have a robust amount of RAM. I am on the Internet 24/7 and download tons of stuff and get almost 1,000 e-mails a day and Norton has never let me down. I have never been hit with a virus or worm and I know that is due to Norton AV products.

Summary: Works great!
Review: I find the negative reviews of this software confusing. I have been using Norton for approximately 5 years. I bought up to a Dell Pentium 4 system a few months ago, installed Norton Antivirus that came with my Norton Internet Security (I also use Norton Systemworks), and have had absolutely no problems. The software works great, my computer system works great, and with frequent automatic updates, my computer has remained virus free.

Summary: Would NOT Recommend...
Review: Instead of just buying a new subscription for my AV 2003, I decided to buy the 2004 version, figuring newer is better. Not so! About a week after installing it, my computer, on start up, would automatically launch my internet software and then freeze (and AV 2004 would not load). Ctrl-Alt-Del succeeded in shutting down the internet software, only to have it start up again in an endless loop. Eventually, the computer kicked into safe mode and the loop stopped, which allowed me to uninstall the internet software and reinstall it. This happened three times, but I know the problem is with the AV 2004 and not my software (AOL 8.0 Plus) since it was running just fine before I upgraded to 2004... I should have left well enough alone and kept my Norton AV 2003 (which worked great) and just bought another year's subscription for virus definitions. Don't buy this until Norton comes up with a bug free version or unless you just happen to be a computer expert. Not worth the aggravation to figure out how to fix the quirks.

Summary: Pray you don't need support
Review: All I can say is, pray you don't ever need to use Symantec support. I bought this program and installed it, then decided to upgrade my operating system from Windows 98 to XP. When I tried to reinstall the Norton product, it assumed that the software was a pirated copy and would not let me. Ok, I thought...reasonable...I'll just get on their website and see what I need to do to reinstall my legal copy. Good luck. A maze of questions with no good answers on their website, and support email addresses where you submit problems and NEVER get a response. I guess I could spend $30 for their support line where I can talk to a human, but that does not make much sense for a product that I could buy all over again for about that same price. Dreadful experience.

Summary: Serious questions about Norton 2004
Review: from what i've read, and what i've heard from friends, nav 2004 only crashes on windows xp, and old comps with windows 98 are untouched by crashes, but still plagued by slowness. and i do not recommend McAfee unless they've rewritten everything since 7.0, cuz that didnt even find one of the 4 worms on my computer. i suggest norton nav 2003, or avg free.

Summary: Working fine for me so far
Review: I haven't experienced any of the difficulties that others have noticed with this product so far. I upgraded from a previous version of NAV. The readme file did say that there might be an error upon running the first scan for users that had upgraded, but this was quickly fixed by running LiveUpdate and downloading the program update. Symantec's web page gave instructions on how to do this. For anyone considering buying this product, I would just be sure to check the system requirements first.
