Software Reviews of Norton Antivirus 2008 1 User [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: NAV 2008
Summary: 5 Stars
Great product. I have it set up on two laptops and also on my tower server. It runs flawlessly and quickly, much quicker than older versions. It has also picked out whatever viruses come via email, music downloads, etc. The updates are automatically and easily downloaded. I highly recommend this product to anyone using a PC. Customer Review: Worst decision I could have made
Summary: 1 Stars
I had the 2005 Norton antivirus on my computer. This week, a notification popped up telling me I could upgrade to 2008 for free. I said "sure". During the installation process, the old version is uninstalled and then the new version installs. The program froze while installing and my computer had to shut down. When it came back, everything appeared to be OK. Then I noticed that my virus protection kept turning off and I had no way to turn it back on. I didn't even have a fix now button. I tried going online to get customer service, but I use firefox and they want you to have internet explorer to chat. Sorry, not doing that. I tried to email them, but instead it would change the screen and say I need to talk to someone on chat. I couldn't email anyone a simple question! I looked for a phone number and noticed that now you have to pay $10 just to talk to someone in India. Uh, sorry, no! I never paid in the past. I went all over trying to figure out what the hell was wrong and finally decided to uninstall and reinstall. Also a big mistake.
Upon reinstalling, everything looks like it's going well, but it isn't. The program wants a file from my computer that is missing and the path to get there is listed in a separate window, but when I click "OK" it shows another window transferring the file, but it's frozen. Nothing I do works and I can't find the file on my computer when I search for it myself. So now, I renewed my subscription about 2 months ago so that I could waste the money I don't have because I don't currently have a job. AND I lost the antivirus protection that I had that worked fine. You cannot get tech support for this software anymore- you get forced into going around in circles. If they are going to give you a free upgrade, they should at least not screw you over with it and then make it impossible to contact them about it. I downloaded free AVG and my computer is faster and protected. I suggest you do the same.
Customer Review: Thanks gor a great Amazon transaction! A++++++

If you don't want to pay full price, you can always buy a year old copy and use the install code to get the latest version.Customer Review: Symantec Will Not Honor the 3 Licenses- Only One
Summary: 1 Stars
I installed one of the 3 licenses for NAV 2008 on one computer, but when I went to install it on a second, the keycode was rejected, and, after spending an hour chatting with a barely literate third world tech support guy named "Vivek", he refused to admit that you can actually purchase 3 user licenses from a vendor. He was only aware of single and 5 user licenses, and he based his position entirely on this. So, if you pay for 3, you may only get one license. Buyer beware. This is an awful company to deal with, with even worse support. Stay away.Customer Review: No Thanks!

I ran Norton Anti Vi for almost 6 months before I discovered it was responsible for my system crashing daily. When I called their support I was sent useless procedures to follow and none of them resolved the problem. The only thing that worked was to remove it and install a different Anti-Vi from another company. I am running Bit-Defender and Kapersky on 2 separate PCs. A small problem with Bit-Defender was resolved quickly by their tremendous Customer Support. No problems with Kapersky so far after a year.
