Reviews of the Norton Antivirus 2008 with Antispyware
-
CNET Review
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.
Manufacturer: Symantec Corporation
