March 13, 2010 -"Absolutely brilliant system and technical back-up!!!!!! I was so happy with previous editions, but Norton have excelled themselves with version 2010. I shall continue to renew my subscription with Norton as and when it's required, and have recommended the product to many friends and family. Keep up the good work Norton!!!!! You get what you pay for, and the Norton service is second to no other I have been involved with, and at a very reasonable cost. How about a loyalty discount for customers such as myself!!!!! Just a thought."

February 20, 2010 -"I have used Norton software since Peter Norton offered his products in the 1980s. The security products have kept my computer safe. I have used the Utilities to correct problems that crept in when various programs were installed and removed and when things just hiccuped. While I have read complaints from people who were adversely affected when the programs became cumbersome several versions ago, Symantec has corrected these issues and now has products that run invisibly in the background and just do their job. Yes I keep my eye out for something better and read published reviews on all similar products. I have installed and tried non-Symantec offerings to see whether they would work but so far the Norton products are still my first choice. I currently use Internet Security and Utilities. I am evaluating 360 to see whether this single package would work and be easier to use. I have not made a decision about that. I highly recommend Norton Internet Security and Norton Utilities to keep your computer safe and running its best."

February 9, 2010 -"The 1st thing i noticed when i installed the software, is that its fast, also i had auto-protect popup and say a threat has been removed, Even though I hadnt even run, the update yet. Norton 2010 has new features that make it better than the competition, its firewall is silent and only generates alerts, if it absolutly has to, and the new silent mode allows me to watch dvds on my computer without interuptions. Compared to symantecs previous versions Norton Internet Security 2010 is the best antivirus I have ever used. "Deny Digital Dangers, Get norton internet security 2010 now!"
