Customer Reviews

November 04, 2009 -"Surprised how well the Norton Confidential and information/file Guard works. Finally all my private files are really private. Easy to start use and problem free daily use. And, the firewall in OSX are as bad as the Microsoft FW -only look at incoming traffic. Now using Norton, i have full protection inn and out, and are able to do a granular protection on file and application level. Thanks Norton."

June 15, 2009 -"This is strong software. Full protection against spyware, phishing and viruses. Better yet, it's easy to use, fast and doesn't get in the way of getting things done. I've used other internet security software that would just bring my Mac to a halt when it was scanning files. With Norton, I don't see any slowdown."
