Customer Reviews

“Along with my new notebook I had to get some anti-virus-software, since there's way too much strange stuff going on out there that I didn't want to mess up my notebook. So I asked around and heard about Norton which sounded alright and when I was told that there would be a new '07 version I went for it. Overall I am very happy with NAV 07, I haven't had any problems so far and can only recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to spend his whole life with the settings of his anti-virus software but still wants to feel safe. This does the trick (and more).”
