Comes FREE with AT&T Yahoo

DEC

2008

Note added to top: AT&T Yahoo now uses McAfee as their free anti-virus program.

My first Gateway P/C back in 2002 (I think) came with a 90 subscription to Norton AntiVirus. After that, I had to either buy it on my own or find another company. After browsing their web site (Symantec), I decided...

I feel safer online with Norton AntiVirus

a PC User, Every day computer user, computer challenged, loving this product

MAR

2008

When I first got my computer, I downloaded a FREE AntiVirus program from Road Runner. I think it was McAffee. Well, I contracted a virus within the first month and had to have my entire computer emptied out and "disinfected".

Afterwards, I spent the money for Norton, and haven't had any trouble since. When I'm using Norton, I know it's watching out for me. It lets me know when there's been a threat to my computer, or when I'm about to go on a site that isn't safe. I get updates automatically, and notices when my service is about to expire. That way, I'm never without protection.

Symantec's instant online chat support is very helpful!

SEP

2007

I just finished using Symantec's instant online chat tech support. Sunil was able to answer all my questions about what to do in the event of a computer crash and loss of the Norton AntiVirus software I had downloaded.

-Re-install Windows XP.

-Go to Symantec for "Trailware." (It took me awhile to understand that the word was Trialware.)

-Download Trialware.

-Enter my product key and recover my subscription.

I can do that. Nifty.

I'm a Computer Support Professional and research many new Security Products. I often recomend Security Produces to my Clients and Friends. Without a doubt, Symantec has proven over the Years to be more Reliable and Value oriented. The whole Symantec Line of Products has been easy to use and understand. Also, they provide outstanding Service and Support

This product is easy to use and easy to install. Works great. Don't worry about spyware, or being hacked. Don't have to worry about hackers getting into email, or stealing information. I really like this software. It also comes with support, which is very handy.
