Rating: - Excellent Product for an inexpensive price
Very user-friendly. Easy to install and keeps up to THREE computers running effectively. I have used this product for two years and have had no virus threats and my computers run smoothly. I use this product for Windows Vista and Windows XP. There are no conflicts with the different operating systems.
Rating: - Works fine for me
This product works well with my vista operating system. It helps not only with antivirus features, but also firewalls, updates, and backups. The tuneups are also a great feature that helps keep my computer running smoothly. For the price I bought it for, I would say that it was a good buy.
Rating: - solid product
This product is very thorough. It did take a couple runs to completely clear up my system, but it got rid of some nasty things I had tried numerous other ways to get rid of. Overall a solid product.

One could argue that Microsoft should be ashamed to sell a product like this which is only designed to protect you from the very troublesome issues of viruses, spyware and internet attack brought on by flaws in the Microsoft operating systems.
Of course, they might argue that since they know their own flaws better, they can do a better job of protecting you. I can't tell long-term how this product will hold up, but it did install on my XP machine with no problems (other than requiring me to uninstall Adaware). It seems to do what it is supposed to do - protect me without bothering me. It has some nice features - it makes backing up look easy and seems to download updates without needing to go through a process, like Adaware or Spybot. I hope it works out. I like the idea of one-stop shopping for computer protection and with as little interference as possible. This seems to do the job.
Edited on August 28. I have taken this product off my computer. I ended up getting a major Trojan Horse attack and the little green light stayed on the whole time, telling me my system was operating perfectly. Meanwhile I was in big trouble. This product did not detect anything! If it wasn't for Norton Antivirus I'd have been dead.
Rating: - Very good
Norton is overpriced. Macafee slows my computer to a crawl. This software integrates suprisingly well with Windows. I've always been wary of MS products, but I was stunned by the ease of use. Most firewalls I've had are incredibly annoying with their security pop-ups. (mcaffee especially) This program just sits in the background unnoticed. Sometimes I wonder if it's on, but it's running. That's what they should be doing, right? It's $30 cheaper than the competition too. All in all, I think I made a very good choice.
