«Don't slam this yet!»
My PC has a 2.2g duel core intel processor with 2g RAM (any of you folks out there who still has less than 1 g of ram, or still using single core, please, stop complaining abt new softwares slowing down your PC and get real!). I was using NIS 2006 previously on this PC. Recently, the subscription for NIS 2006 ran out so I uninstalled it (which went without a glitch!!!! yes, I just used the normal "do it from the control panel method"!). Then I loaded in NIS 2008. Man! My boot up actually speeded up! I know some of you folks have all kinds of complain but I don't see this at all! Who says this product slow down you PC? I think it only slow down those PC who doesn't have the processing power in the first place.

«A must have!»
I love Symantec's Norton Internet Security! I've been using this to protect my computer since 2002, and haven't had any problems. As soon as I installed this 2008 version, Symantec sent me a message letting me know a free upgrade was available to the 2009 version! Plus, I received this item earlier than expected. I couldn't be any happier! Thanks!

«Nag-ware and deception»
This is not for "3 Users" but for one user on 3 PCs -- so the product name is deliberately deceptive. Plus, although I signed up for Automatic Renewal, I'm getting a pop=up every FEW MINUTES ( !!! ) telling me "there's a problem with your Symantec protection" -- and the "problem" is that "there are only xx days" until the subscription runs out ! So the idea is to annoy me until I renew a month early -- and since the subscription renews from that point onward, I lose a month I've paid for. So they deliberately set it up to force you to lose a month or be annoyed incessantly by a popup every few minutes. I'm going to delete this and go to any of the "Open Source" anti-virus (which get excellent reviews) that were created and maintained by engineers who got tired of this money-grubbing treatment.
