Good
THE GOOD
Norton AntiVirus 2008 provides solid antivirus protection.
THE BAD
Norton AntiVirus 2008 is roughly six times the size of most competing antivirus applications; doesn't offer three-user license; doesn't support Firefox; doesn't work with recent Yahoo and AOL IM applications (only old versions); offers fee-based services under the guise of technical support.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Norton AntiVirus 2008 didn't wow us this year. While the protection is solid, the user experience could be much, much better, and the product itself could be more streamlined. Also we can do without the addition of paid services in the technical support section.

Terrible
0.5/5
I wouldn't have any Norton product on my computer.
Once you buy it, you are on your own, with no way to contact tech support.
Terrible customer support.
