I ordered this about two weeks before my Norton 360 expired. I didn’t actually install it until expiration because I didn’t want to call Norton. When I decided to install it, I went to the email, clicked on Access Your Content, and followed the instructions. I copied and pasted the Product Code with no problems. The software installed cleanly, with only one restart required. The Password Vault transferred on its own; no action was needed on my part.

I have over a 100,000 pictures stored on my computer and was worried they might be slowing down the system. I didn’t realize you could compress and put them in a zip file until someone told me. They hardly use any space doing this and of course I do feel like my computer is faster now. This program allows you to encrypt files and add watermarks to your pictures. You can also convert your files to pdf.

It works fine on Windows 7. I’ve not tried it on the other computers in the house but I figure if it works good on 7 then it will work on others as well. It was an easy download and things went smoothly. There is a free trial version you can get from the company if you want to play with it awhile before deciding whether you want to buy one or not.

I love these programs and have had different ones for the last few years. Each time the new one can do a little bit more. I like this one because of the text wrapping so I can do scrapbooking and because of the ability to be able to move objects into different backgrounds. I had a little trouble learning it at first but with practice you get better. They have good directions to help you with it.

Yes, you could sit and prepare your trips like this but it’s utterly boring doing it in my opinion. I like the Google maps much better and since that feature is free, I don’t see the point of paying for this. It works off and on in my computer (it has some bugs), but it wouldn’t install on our laptop at all and since that is what you are taking with you on a trip, it is useless for us.

Like thousands (millions?) of other PC users, I gave in and succumbed to the Windows 10 upgrade, and discovered that Media Center isn’t included.nI thought this might fill the void, and it has worked so far. This version includes TV mode, and the TV Remote works with an iPhone or mouse. I can stream video files directly to my Samsung TV (with Roku) but for some reason it won’t stream Blu-ray so I still have to use my stand-alone player or watch them on my PC.

Family Tree Maker is the premiere geneology software available for consumers, and has tremendous capabilities for discovery, tracking, and creating documentation to share. It is also very time-demanding to use, both from a learning curve aspect and from a product usage aspect. It can also be expensive in the long-run if you maintain a subscription to Ancestry.com. I have casually used other geneology software years ago, and this package beats previous generations hands down in it’s professional interface and plethora of features.

All I can say is Wow! This is by far the best video software that Corel has published to date. Installed flawlessly on my Win 7 Core i7 PC, and I was up and running quickly, having used previous versions. This package has so many features that it’s moved the learning curve up a few notches. Beginners may feel uncomfortable with it, but for an experienced video editor, the software has so many features.

I had hoped that Pinnacle 17 would be more stable than previous versions, but it crashed 5 minutes into my first project. My PC is no slouch (core i7, 9GB ram, and several terabytes of 7,200 rpm hard drive space, dedicated to video production). The software interface seems simplified, but that just made some features harder to find than earlier versions (e.g. chapter markers). It seems that Pinnacle 17 has a few small enhancements from version 16, so if you have version 16, stick with it.

The latest version of Kaspersky Internet Security offers highly rated protection, including an effective banner ad blocker, which most security suites no longer offer. To me this is a significant feature which has led me for several years to choose Kaspersky software over it’s competitors. The reason I couldn’t give it 5 stars this time is that it has become less flexible, taking some decisions out of the hands of the user.
