I used to hate norton av. I remember back in the 90s, whoever use norton will definitely receive 100% complete protection. Norton was very cunning as they created a product that made your computer unusable and had no resources left for the virus to actually run/execute. I still remember turning on my Pentium mmx will take at least close to ten minutes when norton was running in the background.

Last few months, I saw norton av was on sale. I bought it and installed on my older dual core amd chip. I was surprised to see how much the software has improved. I found it even faster in comparison to my current avg free. I am hoping to win this contest as it will be the highlight of my xmas present this year

In the past used Norton pretty much exclusively, currently still using some older more limited Norton software on a couple of machines plus a variety of others including bitdefender, Panda, etc...
I would be keen to win one of these packs as I have a number of machines which I could use it with and having them all using the same is probably a wise idea.

I'm hoping this anti-virus software will also prevent the bird flu! But I'll be happy if it stops my PCs getting sick.

I currently use avast! Free Anti-virus which may let the odd flu through!

Hey there

Oh gee -my computer woes :( They all began when I got married in March this year... yep that was a great time in my life, but also where I started to get nerdy with computers to impress my wife. Cleverness is good, but it can challenge my new wife (Rebecca's) patience. I decided to get a voip unit for our phone line & internet. A great idea, and my wife thought I was very clever... but after 9 months, we can't make phone calls out using our Linksys WAG310G voip box (we can receive calls) and if we want to make calls, we have to unplug the WAG310 and switch to our older Linksys WAG54G voip box (which can't connect it's LAN lines to our computers). To top that all off, the main hard drive with all of our photos started to die 3 weeks ago with the ominous 'click of death'. Gee to have Norton 360 could have helped save some of our important files, and I'm sure it's security suite will stop any further sorrow being inflicted on our poor computers :(

I would be very grateful for our wee computer and I to be protected by Norton 360 Happy Marriage Security Pack :)

Thanks

Rob :)
