Pros: Virus protection is still topnotch Cons: Installation, speed and support are all nightmarish
The early returns are in: the decline and fall of the Norton product line continues. This is my third review of a Norton AntiVirus product. Each time out, it gets harder to find items for the "Pro" section and easier to find "Con"s.
Pros: Comprehensive protection with reliable live updates. Simply the BEST ! Cons: Can't protect you from being stupid.
I have owned many other brands of Antivirus software over the years but Norton Antivirus has emerged on top for the last several years. In fact I have used it exclusively for about 5-7 years. I have seen very few problems years ago but Norton has refined...
Pros: Full Protection, also with MS Office, MS Outlook, AIM, Yahoo, MSN Messengers Cons: Slow scans, 1 year subscription for virus updates
NAV - Norton Antivirus 2003

Symantec's Norton Antivirus 2003
As one computer mind once said, Anti-virus is good for a prevention use only. This may be true, but when the antivirus is good until the actual bug/virus comes, then it defeats the whole purpose....

I've been a Norton anti-virus/Systemworks user for years. I recently saw this upgrade at BestBuy and decided to try it out.
I'ts a new version - it should be better - and faster - right ? No.
I expected a new look and feel, and improvement in...
Pros: Great virus protection abilities, easy install, reliable. Cons: Worst technical support of any software company I've ever dealt with.
While I really like their product, Symantec's undoing will be their tech support structure. I work in the IT business, and they by far have the worst support of a software company I've ever seen.
Pros: none, believe me Cons: Do not even try this product!
Maybe I'm a slow learner, or just don't take a hint, but after having to rebuild my hard drive and Windows 98 system last year due to Norton Antivirus 2002, I swore I wouldn't touch one of their products again. True to form however, I went out and...
Pros: Easy install. Has broad levels of detection. Cons: Subscription for renewal will expire from initial install on prior machine.
I am writing the review on the Norton Anti-Virus 2003 release.
The 2003 release of Norton's Anti-Virus has some functional improvements relating to configurtion and rapid registration of the software.
Pros: One of the biggest in the business. Cons: No auto update feature. A bit slower than McAfee.
Before starting to use Norton I used McAfee Antivirus 6. My McAfee expired and decided to try Norton for a while.
My opinions are comparing with the McAfee version I had.
Installation
--------------
Norton is easier to install....
Pros: Easy to keep up to date using the automatic settings Cons: Seems to slow down my computer a bit.
I was reinstalling Windows 2000 on my machine and decided to try the new Norton Antivirus software. Until now, I had been using a copy of Mcafee and I wanted a comparision between the two before I went out and bought a copy. After an easy install, the...
Pros: Awesome interface. Live update. Cons: Doesn't do a thing about spyware or most hard drive internet worms.
Norton has once again come out with an awesome product for the average computer user. Its quick, easy, doesn't take up a ton of computer resources and finds/removes most of the common virii out there. Anyone, regardless of computer experience, can use it...

Norton Antivirus is viewed by many as the king of Anti-Virus. They have it all! Well maintained virus database, easy to use interface, automated updates, scheduled scans and even checks your incoming and outgoing e-mail for virus' before you...
Pros: Frequent up dates and automatic up dates is the best part. Cons: Significant decrease in computer performance when it scans your system.
Antivirus updates are frequent and always up to date. It seems like I get 2 to 3 antivirus up dates a week. It is nice to know your antivirus software is is staying on top of the latest viruses and other problems floating around. In addition, the...
