Roxio’s Creator NXT 2 is a program that is relatively easy to learn and use, and it performs a LOT of common tasks. And it performs most tasks very well. I have been quite pleased with it. And while single task programs would likely give you more individual task options, and be able to perform its specific job a little better, this multi-task program does and will perform all of its duties to a satisfactory level for the average user.

Unlike quite a few other users, I found Pinnacle Studio 17 Plus fairly easy to learn and use. And I had no issues with installation either. I think the problems people are having must either be user, hardware requirements, or computer settings related. And I do own a previous version of this software, so that could be why I didn’t experience any problems or confusion with setup and use. My last version of this software was version 14, and I did find version to be quite a bit faster and better.

If you frequently burn DVDs and CDs, this is the software program you want/need. For that task there’s not a better program out there. I really love Nero for the task of burning DVDs and CDs. I also found this particular Nero software version to be intuitive and pretty easy to learn and use. The learning curve is quite small. And again, Nero is definitely the best software for performing the task of burning.

Before now, I hadn’t used Norton Internet Security in about 5 years. I decided to stop using it because it was simply more trouble than it was worth. It was basically nothing more than an obtrusive, bloated, system-slowing annoyance. And to be honest, I only gave Norton Internet Security another shot and began using it again because I was able to acquire it for free. Well, I’m glad I had the opportunity to try this 2014 version because it is nothing like the last version of Norton Internet Security I tried.

This is very good software for the casual/non-serious photographer/photo editor. Most people fall into this category, and I believe that’s who this program is intended for. And if you are non-serious about your photography/photo editing, I’m sure you will be quite happy with this program’s features and capabilities. However, if you are a serious photographer that needs/wants an array of professional level tools that provide uncompromising, professional level results, you will almost certainly NOT be happy with this program’s features and capabilities.

Until recently I hadn’t used Norton internet security software in many years. I decided to stop using it because it was simply more trouble than it was worth. It was basically nothing more than an obtrusive, bloated, system-slowing annoyance. And to be honest, I only gave Norton another shot and began using it again because I was able to acquire it for free. Well, I’m glad I had the opportunity to try this latest version because it is nothing like the last version of Norton internet security software I tried.

While Microsoft Office will likely always be the most popular office software suite, Corel’s WordPerfect Office X7 is a comprehensive office suite that does everything Microsoft Office does, and more. And with the improvements of this latest version of WordPerfect, Corel has, in my opinion, presented several compelling reasons to consider switching from Microsoft Office to WordPerfect Office X7. In this version of WordPerfect, the two main things Corel has done is update the user interface, and address Microsoft Office file compatibility issues.

Norton’s Security Deluxe came complete with minor installation problems and they have been even worse every day since. It claims to scan automatically. If it does, it fails to inform of the malware. I have to run a scan manually. Then it guides me to remove the offending whatever, and it never fixes the problems. For one, it informed me that a fraudulent security program, 360 … something,was causing problems. But I couldn’t remove it by following their directions.

At first I was enthusiastic about Norton 360, Version 2. I installed it on computers with both Microsoft XP and Vista Home Premium operating systems. I previously had Norton Internet Security installed on both, so I thought it was just an upgrade. For this reason I gave the program 4 stars. Now I’m not sure. After two months the XP operating system ran without any problems either on Visa or XP.

I’m erasing my former review, writing a new one, and changing my rating from 2-STARS to 3-STARS (meaning okay). I think the program may possibly be doing what it claims so I also purchased usage for a second year. I gave one of my older computers to a neighbor kid and used Drive Scrubber to remove everything from the hard drive. I then used the software that came with the old computer to restore it to a like new condition.
