Pros: Comprehensive, live updates, overall good protection.
Cons: May slow down your system.

Pros: Superior Virus Protection; only two contenders even come close
Cons: Not for use with Windows XP; support is bare-bones at best
Summary: If you have a computer, you need virus protection software. If you're looking for virus protection, Norton Anti-Virus 2001 is the program to buy. That statement isn't my opinion-- well, 95% of it isn't. And if it were my opinion, you'd be a ... read more

Pros: It works! Live Update keeps everything up-to-date
Cons: Some viruses require manual removal
Summary: This is hands down the BEST ant-virus program money can buy! In today’s world, anti-virus protection is a necessity. It’s not uncommon for me to get several viruses as email attachments a week and Norton has caught them every single time.

Pros: Easy to use, free updates, a reliable scanner
Cons: None that I've found

Pros: Automatic updates, screens e-mail
Cons: Customer support is non-existent.
Summary: If you like error messages that come right back as soon as you click "OK" to get rid of them, I highly recommend that you buy NAV from the Symantec web site. That's what I did and a few weeks later I started getting error messages saying that "vbox ... read more

Pros: Ok Price
Cons: Lies Lies Lies!
Summary: Norton is poorly built, it is a pipedream for them to think their software is actually #1.
I did some reasearch, Norton IS NOT #1. McAffee VSheild is though. If you don't belive me, that's okay.
My cousin owns it, he thinks it is ... read more

Pros: Live update gives you most up to date definition list
Cons: No need to upgrade software if you have earlier version

Pros: The price is right and it does everything you want.
Cons: A bit processor intensive.
Summary: It is not unlike all the other anti-virus software that is available on the market. It protects against known viruses and general security faults, but so does every other anti-virus software. Its price is good for all that it delivers, especially the ... read more

Summary: I am a 3 year veteran of using Norton AntiVirus. I have used version 5.0, NAV 2000 and now NAV 2001. I have to say that Symantec is like a fine wine, they are improving their product with age. NAV 2001 came with my new computer, but I still think it's ... read more

Pros: Live updates (both for the product and the virus definitions), very stable
Cons: None so far
Summary: I bought an IBM Thinkpad a little less than a year ago. IBM laptops (at least the ones sold mainly to businesses) come with almost no preloaded software. So here I was with my first ever computer and was feeling vulnerable to attacks from viruses. I ... read more
