February 11, 2010 -"Very user friendly system that covers all security and backup needs for the everyday user. Easy to access and find what you need to get the Job done. This product is great that it works even when you are not, sysyem scans and backups do not slow the preformance or speed. I would recommend to anyone needing PC security."

February 1, 2010 -"I been with Norton for many many years. I was considering going to a different program for internet security that my cable co. offers until a couple of days ago when my husband got onto one of his site and Norton detected a trojan virus on that site. I right away got him off that site and ran the virus program and my computer was safe. Contacted the site, who had no idea of the virus and they actually thanked us for the info cause their program had not detected it yet. So I do Trust Norton and will stay with them. "
