Version: Norton AntiVirus 2009 16.0
Pros: Nice looking interface and easy to use.
Cons: Norton came with my computer pre installed. Norton slows my computer down while in fullscan. It also slows down my boot up and boot down time and I am using 1 GB of memory. You can get better anti virus for free like Avast.

"Slow, resource intensive and doesn't work properly"
Pros: Nice GUI, broad range of features, reasonably easy to use
Cons: Ridiculously resource intensive, slowing other applications to a crawl if running a scan. Full system scans are amazingly slow - I often just gave up. Still missed malware that other antivirus/antispyware programs picked up.

"must be computer pro to deal with this"
Pros: In view of the cons have no positive opinion
Cons: Came pre-installed 30day trial, I renewed, pd $49 for 12 months, when I go to site, says my sybscriptioin has expired, and phising protetion off can't figure out how to turn on phising. Also, when chatting for help wait time long so I give up.

"Problems on my Dell Vista Laptop - Shutdown hangs, etc."
Pros: Works well on 2 HP Vista desktops and 1 HP XP desktop. It would have been nice if it worked well on my Dell laptop.
Cons: With either NAV 2009 or 2008, shutdown hangs forever (at least overnight). When I run task manager, I can see it minimized on the task bar, but cannot restore or maximize it. Network window hangs forever. These problems go away when I uninstall NAV.
Summary: My laptop came with McAfee trial. When the trial period ended I tried installing NAV 2009 (same thing I have on my 3 other machines). Both NAV 2009 and 2008 caused problems (described in Cons above). NAV 2008 wasn't quite as bad becauseI could at lea... read more
