Webroot reminds me of AVG, but is a bit more streamlined. It does it’s work in the background, and seems to do itnvery well. I have been a life long Norton user ever since I learned PC-Dos (not ms-dos) from Peter Nortons book (I still have it).nOver the past few years I have been getting more and more frustrated with Norton, and did not totally trust AVG, as it was a bit twitchy.

I got away from TurboTax for the last couple of years and really paid for it in frustration.nI just finished my taxes with TurboTax and it took a fraction of the time it did with Block, and I am not shaking and about to blow a gasket.nSpend the extra $10.00.

If you use the one click it may hang up the first time (I don’t know why), but just do it again andnyou should get a full system clean.nI can’t get to excited about the software, and try not to use system cleaners that much as experience has taught me that they can really mess up a system if over used.nIn most cases it will give you a bit more speed, and a bit more hard drive room, but don’t expect miracles.

I have used Norton AntiVirus for many years now but switched to 360 last year.nThe only reason I switched was because I got a $45.00 Norton/Visa Debit card with the purchase from one of the local office suppliers and I was curious.nI have been using a computer since before the commodore 64 days. (We engineers put them together from scratch in the late 70’s)nI don’t need Parental controls, Backup, Identity control (I question the reality of this one), or PC tuneup, as some of these functions can be done through windows.

While using an older version can normally savenyou a lot of money, in this case, IT DOES NOT, and adds a lot of frustration with norton coming in and trying to load a new version (and charge you), even when you have over 300 days to go on the one you are using.

I wasn’t aware when picking this up that there was any kind of subscription involved. Aside from that, Family Tree Maker was very easy to jump into and get going with. I had become interested in continuing a family tree that my grandmother had started years ago. She spent a lot of time and effort compiling our family history all the way back to Europe, and in recent years she had complications that prevented her from keeping up with it.
