i haven’t bought this version, but i have gotten norton antivirus before and many other “antivirus” from other companies. Anyways basically what i want to say is that the whole point of these anti virus software/program is to make your computer run faster and safe from hackers and etc. However instead of making your computer faster it slows it down by A LOT… Basically what it does is it hugs all the computer’s resources which makes any programs your running slow because let’s just say norton anti virus is like a airport security where everything has to be checked before they can be run on the computer to make sure whether it’s safe or not. Starting your computer is going to be a pain in the butt because at start up your going to be waiting for this piece of crap to start up before you can start running your stuff. Also another thing …. every time i ran this it kept saying i had a virus? I mean shouldn’t it take all the virus out in one scan? I mean i gurantee you it will say you have a virus every time you do a scan …. I mean shouldn’t it take all the virus and whatever in first scan? Why do i have to scan it friggin million times? Or are they scamming you to make you keep using their garbage software? Also Beware they will “FEAR” you into buying their worthless product by saying your computer is going to get infected and blah blah blah if you don’t buy their newest version or whatever. But honestly if you guys have a computer that is infected with virus your better off just backing up your files and resetting the computer to factory settings. I have been doing fine not using these anti virus garbage for like three years my laptop has been running fine.

Norton AV 2010 works for me! I have been using Norton products for several years with great results. No problem install and tech support will guide you through if necessary. It installs easily and you can customize how you wish! How much easier can it be? I recommend this product highly

I purchased 2 of these lap tops from Amazon. One for my son who will be starting High School this Fall and one for myself. I recently started working from home and found that I needed to be able to access information when I’m not near my desk top computer. This lap top has satisfied both the needs of myself and my son.

Let me start by saying; I do technical support for a living. There are 2 things you need to understand about anti-virus software that I have to explain on a daily basis:

1. It's not perfect. NO ONE makes a perfect anti-virus. NO ONE. Why not, you ask? Because there is a guy in Romania making a new virus as you read this and no one can think of every possibility, let alone know what that guy is cooking up. If it could be done, Microsoft would have these guys on the payroll. No one can protect you from every type of virus that has been or may be conceived. It's impossible.

2. If you don't keep your subscription current, you need to uninstall the software to actually use the internet. This means that if you barely know how to turn on your computer, this will hold your computer hostage. Yes, they hold your computer hostage for ransom to the amount of a new account subscription.

If you know what not to download and what is OK to download, you don't need Anti-virus software. If you have no idea what an "Active X control" is, then you really have no way of knowing if you should allow it to function or even download it in the first place. Because of those two facts, you don't need Anti-Virus software at all.

However, you might want this if you download from illegal bit torrents. You know, pirated software? People who make viruses prey on people who steal via torrent sites, so by all means, get some protection if you do that sort of thing. At least you can pay someone for their honest work.

I purchased NAV 2009 from Amazon in March 2009 and was very happy with the price, shipping and product functionality. In June 2009 the NAV IPS function stopped working ( a minor component) due to a FireFox upgrade. It took a month for Norton to fix this partly because FireFox kept updating their versions during the same period. Norton responded by updating my NAV2009 to NAV2010 for FREE. I am using XP SP3 and have not had any viruses, or any other incidents since installing NAV2009 and the upgrade to NAV2010. I do not detect any slow down of my system. I like this product a lot and have renewed my subscription for another year. I also own Norton Ghost and back up frequently. If a virus should get through I know that a restore from back up is available. The first rule of computing is “Thou shall make back ups”. I am a loyal customer to Norton products because they work for me.

It literally fell apart after 15 months.HP does not stand by their products:

A small crack started near the hinge and the screen literally split apart making it impossible to close and then it just stopped working all together.

This laptop was very carefully taken care of and never abused or dropped.

We brought it in to Best Buy and they said it should have lasted a lot longer than that and they could clearly tell it was never dropped or abused.

Went round and round with HP to no avail. They do not stand by their products. Best Buy gave us a $100 off a new laptop because they felt bad about

the situation and of course we did not purchase another HP and never will !!!

The laptop is really not good.

I seem to look new by appearance but the laptop is not functioning properly.

The screen doesnt on but the system gets on.

Sometimes the screen goes off by itself.

I repent for buying with amazon.

I am soo sorry to tell this … Never buy laptops from Amazon

I have used Norton Antivirus before. It’s a great product. I liked the fact that it came in two days after I ordered it. Thank you so much amazon, I will use this site in the near future.
