Norton Antivirus 2010 5-User Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't like the rental of software...I don't like intrusive, memory/space-hogging software that slows my systems down...but I've tried the others and Norton works best keeping our computers safe!! So, I buy it (or rent it!). We had a virus that paralyzed our business for days because the Norton license expired on one of our machines. We bought the "el cheapo" stuff from from a retail giant thinking we could quickly clean up the mess...worthless! So, we ordered Norton and (knock on wood) we're still up-and-running. THAT is why I buy Norton.

Trend Micro Internet Security Pro Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using Trend Micro Internet Security for the past couple of years, and it's a good product. My license was up so I decided to upgrade to their Internet Security Pro program, which came out in September 2008. It has extra bells and whistles that improve your computer performance (much like Pitstop's PC Optimize or Norton 360) in addition to internet security and anti-virus protection.
The problem came in the installation. Because it wasn't just a simple 'add another year' to the existing license, but moving from one product to another product, the program simply wouldn't install. It hung up regularly during the install process and then automatically de-installed itself and shut down the computer. Frustrating!
I checked on multiple websites looking for a solution and tried all the ones I found. I talked twice to Trend Micro support people, and tried what they recommended and their suggestions didn't work either. Here's the list of suggestions received and tried that failed:
1. Running the Trend Micro Uninstall program (the "red-and-white lifesaver" icon) to de-install all previous versions of Trend Micro products that might be on my computer, one after another, and then rebooting the computer and trying to reinstall the program.

2. Uninstalling the program using CCLEANER or the UNINSTALL program in Windows XP Control Panel and then rebooting the computer and trying to reinstall the program.

3. Turning off the Windows Firewall and then rebooting and trying to reinstall the program.
What did finally work was to install the program using the CUSTOM INSTALL instead of the AUTOMATIC INSTALL program.
The idea came to me from watching where the program hung up when it was installing. It stalled and then uninstalled itself always at the same point in time: after the first round of the install procedure, when the console opens up with the six or seven red dots in a row, and then it installs each of the components. I realized it was hanging up always at the same point - installation of the Firewall.
So what I did was a CUSTOM install, where I UNCHECKED "install the Firewall". The whole program then loaded without a hitch - including the Firewall! I then updated the software and am "back in business".
I am posting this here because I did NOT find this method on line nor did the tech folks at Trend Micro suggest it - but it works.

Webroot Antivirus with Spy Sweeper 1-User 2010 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using this product for over 5 years now. It's better than anything else I've ever tried (Norton Antivirus, BitDefender). Took a computer repair class this summer at the local high school. Removed my hard drive from my 6 year old Dell PC and the instructor was convinced I had a virus on it. He scanned it and it was clean. No Virus at all. I have this product on my new ASUS laptop and I just sent this to my Mom for her new ACER laptop. She's a new user and I don't want her to get any virus or have something blow up on her if she clicks on the wrong web site. This product will find any spyware and stop it in its tracks immediately. Runs a scheduled sweep for whenever you set it up to run weekly.
Tech support is very good. All I have to do is e-mail them and they respond quickly. Only problem I had was when we reinstalled the operating system on my Dell PC and SpySweeper was uninstalled. They helped me with the install since I don't expire until Jan 2011 and yes I will buy a new updated version in January. Getting the free updates for this software is easy too. Just click on updates and it's automatic.
They also have an Internet Security software. I don't have it. Too much protection seems to slow your computer down when booting up etc.
They also have available a 3-user version. Which I'll most likely get since I have 2 computers and my boyfriend will have a new laptop soon also.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 3-User Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all anti-virus software always slows your computer down. I don't know why people write reviews commenting out that. What is important is how much does this software slow you computer down in comparison to Norton or symantec or whatever you are using. I have found this program superior in all respects of performance it does not slow you computer down as much as other anti-virus software and in my opinion the updates are faster and the protection better than Norton with out a bunch of stuff you don't want/need. The only thing is you have to buy the program from amazon every year. The renew activation codes you download through the Kaspersky website seem to not work too well. Bottom line this is best anti-virus program.

Norton Utilities 15.0 1-User/3PCs Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Norton Utilities v15.0.0.122:
I ordered this version of Norton Utilities because my version 14 was coming up for renewal and I wanted to try the newer version to see if there were improvements over version 14, and there are. There are 5 sections to this newest version of Norton Utilities.
Optimize, Maintain, Recover, Windows Tools, and Administer are all subdivided into different working tools to help keep your computer running smoothly.
Optimize has the following subdivisions: Clean your registry which scans and safely cleans, repairs, and optimized your Windows registry. Defragment your registry which defragments and optimizes your registry. Tuneup your services which optimizes and manages your Windows services. Optimize your system which optimize and monitors your system for better performance. Clean your disks which cleans your computer and internet traces. Defragments your disks which uses SpeedDisk to optimize and defragment your disks.
Maintain has the following subdivisions: Shred your files, Health Report, Repair your disks, Manage your services, and Manage your startup. The shred your files has a function which can safely and securely clean selected files on your computer through drag and drop or from the recycle bin. The Health Report function shows you what areas of your computer need attention: Overall Health of your System ie., registry health, privacy health or disk health, and it will take you to the affected area as you improve both operations and functions. The repair your disks section is where you can takes care of your disk functions both check and repair and the master boot of your system and partitions of the disks. You can schedule a lot of the function and let the computer take care of what is needed or you have the option to control these functions yourself. The Manage your services function is your Service Manager, the list shown shows the performance of the third party services that are on your computer that are loaded when Windows starts. These impact both start up and shut down of your computer, you can control these making startup faster if you'd like. Manage and Startup shows you what manages your bootup, startup and all entry points and you can change these if there is a problem.
The Recover function has two subdivisions: Restore which you can view and restore previous backup and undo repairs. Recover deleted files is where UnErase recovers deleted files from your computer.
The Windows Tools section has 14 subdivisions which basically take care of management and control function both on the computer and devices, and events and security functions associated with having a clean running computer.
The Administer is where you can control your customization of your computer settings and functions along with a smart update function to keep your utility program up-to-date. The Administer funtion keeps you in control and keeps out others from changing settings.
I've had Symantec's Norton Utility programs on my computer for years and this is more comprehensive than others to date and it runs on schedule or on your schedule as you wish and it has greater flexibility and more control than previous versions. This is an intuitive program as the schedule function shows up throughout, giving you flexibility. A caveat is to be noted, you must un-install any previous versions of Norton Utilities prior to installation of this version and to run the smart update as soon as you install. There seems to be a large update from the beginning, then either update the program manually orthe program will update itself in the back ground when there is an update coming from Symantec. This program does well running in the back ground keeping function and operations clean.
You can get a free 30 trial version from Symantec's Norton Utility website. This is a very clean download from Symantec and the setup and presets were quick and easy with v15, but to be safe I checked to see if everything was set the way I wanted. I gave Norton Utilities v15.0.0.122 a 5 stars, ease of download, use, setup, and back ground function, that doesn't slow your computer down. Others may have some slowing of the computer, but that is due to the function of their computer. I'm running 16GB of RAM and an i7 processor and 2TB hard drives.

Norton Internet Security 2003 Professional Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had the software before the computer arrived, so out of boredom I read the software instructions (the book you get with software and never read). Gee, it actually helps if you read the instructions. Loaded on the new computer (Dell 8200, 2.4G with 512M ram) with not a hint of a problem. Have not seen a pop up since. A few self adjusting messages on programs with internet connections and thats it. It runs, you pay no attention. I was very leary of Norton S/W because it has a reputation of taking over your system. Not this one anyway.
