Summary: You don't even know it's running -- and that's a good thing
Review: If you're reading this review, then undoubtedly your computer is hooked up to the Internet. If your computer is hooked up to the Internet, then you need an Anti-Virus software package sooner rather than later. Personally, Norton Anti-Virus is the package that I've used on multiple occasions and I've never had the slightest bit of trouble with it.

The latest version of the Norton Anti-Virus utility is still easily one of the best protection packages out there. It's incredibly easy to initiate, and the beauty of it is that once you've set it up, you'll probably never think about it again. It sits quietly in the background, using very few resources and just stays nicely out of the way. Updating it with the latest virus signatures is simplicity itself. Virus scans and updates can be set to run automatically or manually.

This is a fairly short review, because there isn't that much to say about it from the user's point of view. It does what it's supposed to do, and stays out of one's way while it's doing its job. I have installed this, and previous versions, on a variety of different machines and operating systems, with absolutely no problems at all. Installing Norton Anti-Virus one of the simplest and trouble-free steps in setting up a new computer. If only more software packages were this hands-off and easy.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: too many errors
Review: The antivirus is not the best. It keeps telling me to subscribe for it when i already did, even twice. It does not update its virus definations, and some viruses have turned off or destroyed the email scanning. Don't buy it. it was good until all that happened. ( no offfence to norton intivirus Inc.)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: DONT BUY NORTON ANTI-VIRUS PRODUCTS UNTIL
Review: they fix the numerous problems with their NAV suite; there are plenty of folks who have suffered after downloading unworkable virus definitions and you can not get in touch with Symantic to resolve problems. They take your subscription money ($29.00 US) and then leave their customers in the dust with non-working software. BOYCOTT SYMANTIC!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS (or anything else from these people)!
Review: Zero stars! Updates are no longer available for this version of Norton Anti-Virus (2002). This includes virus definition updates. This software came preinstalled on the Dell pc I bought late in 2002. A month ago, I paid $20 to renew my subscription, and then found out that updates are no longer available for this version. The only way I can use my subscription is to buy a new version of the software. After reading reviews of the later versions, I don't want any Norton/Symantec product. Their online customer service is abysmal (and also not even available for this version). If you want to use phone support (also not available for this version, but who'd want it) they charge you $29.95. This company is only interested in taking your money, and they couldn't care less about their customers.
