To be honest this is an indispensable item. Norton probably have the world’s best update system for computer viruses even though smaller FREE software packages do the exact same thing except they update later (using what Norton has found, and what other packages have discovered) but Norton still leads the field. If you want the best you have it here.nNorton Installs without ANY problems. I have put it on several different systems, uninstalled it and it worked every time. IT IS A SLOW PACKAGE and can not be used in the background without a very fast machine or else you will be on a serious go-slow. For that reason do virus scanning when you are not doing anything on your PC. The Live updater is great and brings your system up to date with the latest viruses and AD-AWARE! So you also get to find things that these types of FREE (and great) software packages offer. To be honest this is a must for any system.nThe only drawback I found was in the Norton File Protection system. This KEEPS files after you have deleted them from your recycle bin. You need to actually turn it off from the Norton Antivirus control panel and then go into the bin and delete items manually. This took me a few hours how to figure out properly but the documentation is online if you look for it.nAlthough the package is slow - it is extremely solid, robust and finds those files that you need to remove. It may be a bulky added extra to your system but it will save your files some day and in this day and age you must have some protection (Try the FREE software packages out there like AVG and Ad-Aware to see what could be on your system!).nLike I said I have never had any install/uninstall problems. It runs smoothly on Windows2000 and XP. It has never crashed on me. It finds the bad guys and kills them for me. It even finds files that the FREE software above can not.nI would recommend it… maybe insist on using this software when you can. If you haven’t got it then get it.
