Publisher's Description
From Symantec:
Norton AntiVirus 2009 provides fast, responsive defense against all types of malicious software including viruses, spyware, worms, and other software threats. It protects your system without slowing it down. Rapid pulse updates every 5 to 15 minutes help to ensure that you're protected from the latest threats.
Working quickly and quietly in the background, Norton AntiVirus requires little memory and system resources. The new Norton Insight relies on extensive online intelligence to target only those processes at risk, resulting in faster, shorter, fewer scans. And the new Norton Protection System employs a multilayered set of security technologies that work in concert to detect, identify, and block attacks. Version 2009 improves on product performance.

"Holy cow...jaw-dropping."
Version: Norton AntiVirus 2009 16.0
Pros
Well....lol I am not sure I can come up with anything anymore!
Cons
I've been using Norton for the past 7 years and recently, I've stumbled upon reviews like the previous ones. I've also read opinions that Norton doesn't detect things that other programs will. I was like, "Please..whatever! They are a leading company!", but I decided to test things out. I D/L another AV program and sure enough....three trojan horses popped up that Norton failed to detect prior to my D/L of the other software. NNIIICCCEEE. And yes, I am a PAID subscriber to Norton and the definitions are fully up-to-date.
Upon a support chat with an analyst out of INDIA, she explained "In case a very important windows files is infected and if norton deletes it the whole windows system could malfunction and that is why the operating system denies access and norton does not detect or delete the file."
Is she kidding???? Then why would another program detect it? AND..never mind the fact that my infections were in a MY DOCUMENTS folder not even in any WINDOWS folder.
I am beside myself. I truly am.
OH..and yes...HUGE resource hog (memory).....if your system is sluggish and you don't have much running....there you go. Norton. :(
I still can't get over this one, though. But I can bet my bottom dollar I am not re-subscribing when my subscription is up.

"Nothing! It's bizarre behavior!!!"
Version: Norton AntiVirus 2009 16.0
Pros
Nothing! It's bizarre behavior!!!
Cons

"not completely happy"
Version: Norton AntiVirus 2009 16.0
Cons
I'm a novice regarding computers.. but my computer caught a virus the other night, and it's crashing all the time now. Norton came on w/a warning to let me know, but it was too late. So it could have been my fault w/not knowing what to do w/that warning. Maybe have to take it in for $200 to get it fixed or just buy a new laptop. I thought that's what anti-virus software was for.. and why I got it in the first place to avoid this.
