This product is essentially a licenses for 5 computers, which is ostensibly to protect your traffic when connecting to the web over public networks. For example, if you use cafe or hotel connections which aren’t secured (most aren’t).
WiFi connections are like radio signals, and if you don’t encrypt your traffic, people can see what you’re transmitting.
This essentially sets up a private connection between Norton’s server and your computer. The traffic is encrypted, so anybody snooping on the WiFi shouldn’t be able to see what’s going on.

This is my first experience with Painter, so I don’t have the insight to compare with previous versions. With my Wacom tablet, I was able to do quite a lot qith the product out of the box, but I didn’t always find the product completely intuitive, so beginners should expect to seek outside instruction. Do not try to use Painter without a tablet - you’ll be sorely disappointed.
I am pretty amazed at how Painter simulates analog brushes and strokes of all different varieties, and clearly you can create some very painterly or illustrative effects.

Don’t let the pricetag fool you, this is a pretty advanced animation tool. This is 2D, character based animation at a highly professional level.
It’s not incredibly easy or intuitive to use out of the box. But with a little training and practice, you can create and rig characters and animate them. You can record voiceovers and do lip-syncing. One could use this package alone to produce animations as good as most stuff on TV (given enough time).

The main reason I got this was because it claimed to capture streaming video from the web. I tried everything I could think of - using different browsers, and the web video never came up. There is nothing for capture in the built-in help, and the online manual is not very helpful.
If you are looking for a tool to burn video to disc, this is a good option with tons of different formats.

The good news about this suite is that it’s very comprehensive, the bad news is that it’s pretty slow and can be a pain to configure and install.
Everybody needs virus protection and a firewall., and Norton is a trusted name that’s been around for a long time. I uninstalled some other virus protection software I had which had been very buggy. Norton gave me a full suite of tools for protection.

This product is secure and super-easy to use. It allows to to upload, store and share large files quite easily. Files are encrypted with 256 bit AES - nearly military grade encryption.
This alleviates some issues with file sharing. Normally email can’t handle large files. Also encryption and decryption is handled for you.
The standard subscription lets you store a maximum of 2GB of storage and 40GB of downloads. This is pretty limiting for some applications.
