i’ve owned this program for one week. i was initially concerned, as it did not come with a manual. well, after a week, i’ve found that a paper manual is not necessary to fully operate this program. i can not claim that i’m an expert after one week, but, i do re-assure you that this program is quite simple to operate, it offers possibilities that i never before imagined in my previous architecture program.

norton has a trusted name and, as such, i went with it and gave this product a try. reviewing a product like this is a lot like evaluating the effectiveness of counter-terrorism programs. if it works perfectly well for 5 years, you never hold a complaint. but, as soon as your computer is infected with a virus, well, then it’s not worth anything. regular updates are quite important to acquire.

This loaded easily and has seemed like a good antivirus program, warning me when Downloads are risky or questionable. My computer did get a virus, however, while using McAfee. The virus was so bad it even wiped off the operating system. Perhaps with an additional firewall like Zone Alarm or some other product this would be good, but I am troubled as to how my computer got such a bad virus using this product.

I still don’t know if it was a problem with my computer or with the Kapersky anti-virus program but I was unable to ever get it up and running. I contacted the company for support and that did not help either. Somehow it was incompatible with whatever I had on my computer even after I followed directions to remove my old virus protection. I did not have this same problem when I loaded McAfee on my computer, which runs like a charm.

While I found the software easy to use, I was quite irritated to find (at the very end) that to e-file, I would need to pay $17.95…and an ADDITIONAL $17.95 to e-file my state return!nnWhy on earth did I pay $40 for this software?? I downloaded a free version from the company’s website last year. The purchased version doesn’t include much extra. Now I have to print out my return and mail it in, because I’m not willing to spend a total of nearly $80 to do my taxes MYSELF!
