    Norton's one of the higher quality security suites available today. We'll have a review of the 2014 anti-virus coming up in the next month.

    I have to agree. I stopped using all Symantec products some time ago, until last year I tested NIS 2013. The product isn't as bloated as it used to be, its much better compared to older versions.

    Well, I've owned Norton for the past 5 years and I have great response despite hearing that claim early on. I prefer the 360 because I can just set it and forget it.

    When I was first in the market for AV, Norton AV was rated #1or #2 from all the top reviews for three years in a row.
