Jury's still out3
I have now had Norton 2009 Antivirus on my computer for several weeks, and several strange things have been happening. I'm not sure if they are related or merely coincindental. I have used Norton products for years and not had these problems before. The problems I've encountered are these:
My computer has not been able to shut down.
I've received messages that my virus definitions were out of date, and when I try to manually update, the "attention, fix now" messages don't go away.
But today I did get into a chat with a technician, who took control of my computer remotely, and he says he fixed the problems. So, if that's true, that is pretty great.
So, we will see in time if the problem is really solved.

Nice, CPU Intensive, Firewall Gotcha3
The product, as for many years, fits the need it provides nicely.
As for many years, it still leaves a larger footprint than other Anti-virus software packages - I debate every year on whether to switch to Trend or something similar. This year was more iritating than usual because after installing I could not access my FTP site remotely or use remote desktop once VPNd into my site. Cause - Norton turned on my Windows Firewall (Advanced Properties on the Network Interface Card). It took me a few hours to figure it out.

Good, but needs Internet access to register4
It does not consume PC resources. On execution it deletes the virus found in the autorun.inf files, but it does not restore the registry entries, so the system still looks like affected, but in reality there is no virus in it. The virus upload function does not work well.
