Review by GearJunky

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. 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. Also the process of loading the required updates to bring the 2013 or 2014 version to present day, can be daunting, and my last bout with this process was the last straw, as it got stuck on 11 of 14, and would not go any further no matter how many times I un-installed, and re-installed the software.nI have tried AVG, and found it to be a bit twitchy, and am now using Webroot which seems to be working out very well. Windows platforms are hard enough to deal with, without having to ALSO deal with antivirus software that is constantly taking your attention away from ACTUALLY working on the computer.nAt this point (after using Norton for over 40 years), my recommendation, is to steer clear of it, as there are now many, many other choices out there, and after selling Norton to Symantec in 1990, the company went straight down hill, as far as I am concerned.
