Norton AntiVirus 2005 - Single User review:5 stars (Peace of Mind) - The Norton AntiVirus 2005 expands its work by protecting your computer from internet worms, before they get into your computer, and also defends against spyware and certain other non-virus threats including adware and keystroke logging programs. That is a big change from 2007, providing great anti-virus protection and going outside that arena to stop other bothersome attacks.
I have used Norton AntiVirus Software for years and have never had a malicious attack without the software catching the culprit and advising of the destruction or procedure to follow. Great software and a piece of mind to know that it is active on your compupter.5 stars (Just Like Life) - The last thing you need in your body or on your computer IS A VIRUS!2 stars (There is better AV software out there) - I've been a NAV user & supporter for about 5 years now, but recently I was struck by a major Trojan/Virus/Malware combo which crippled my machine for a week and a half. I'm disappointed to say that I had just installed NAV 2005 which failed to recognize, and thus, remove the threat before it could do its damage.
After going through a painstaking process to clean my machine, I have since removed NAV and am now using Grisoft's AVG (better quality and, get this, it's free) along with Microsoft's AntiSpyware (also free for the time being. Though CounterSpy, which is not free of charge, is probably better).
NAV is probably a good product for the user who does not spend much time on the web (thus the 2 stars). But if you're all over the place out there, I would try something more potent.
