Extremely Happy With Item - Panda Antivirus Software Review

By Alexander Smith


Otherwise, you could simply wait until your old subscription expires before installing the new version. I do not find the Norton Toolbar useful; I have enough tool bars.

What more can I say other than great product and great price. I have been using Norton for years. This is a great product work fine. I had Norton Internet Security for several years and have always been happy with it. In some cases, it just sapped too much of the computer's resources. In at least one case, it basically slowed my machine to a stop.

Each time I remove it and reinstalled the Norton replacement product. All of the other software packages had two short-fallings. Runs so much lighter and finds more threats. Most days I forget I even installed it because it's effect on performance is so minimal. I have three issues with this product, which revolve around the yearly end of subscription. I always buy the next version, since that is significantly cheaper than renewing the subscription. It is plain silly I need to purchase another copy at Amazon to get the better price. What a waste of time, shipping, and customer good will. I purchased the CD version so that I have the disk in hand. As always, my shopping experience with Amazon was a pleasure. Definitely don't even consider buying this until the problem is known to be fixed. I always use to hate Norton antivirus products until a couple years ago when I read excellent reviews about their Internet Security package.

I made the big mistake of installing NIS on 3 different machines and now every one of them will completely freeze on a regular basis (sometimes multiple times per day) while browsing the web. It requires a hard power cycle in order to recover.

So if you scan at night, don't use sleep mode (select never). I got this for $30 which is good and hassle free compared to if I buy it from other stores which is more expensive. All in all this is a great deal! The version of NIS is very similar to the 2010 version, which I found eminently satisfactory.

In my memory the only way that technical support has been able to fix a problem is to use a removal tool and reinstall. This was the fix for the activation problem, and it did leave me with a functional product. Although this one has some improvements, they really are dead ends. This is good for blocking most things but once something gets on it never will seem to find it.
