It seems to work more smoothly, which means it does the job, I think, but doesn't get in my face. And when it does its update thing it makes a nice 'dingggggg'.

And yet, Norton products still seem confusing and more annoying than necessary.

Upon installation there was no choice but to create an account with Norton. There reasoning for this is along the lines of how they can then give you your key if you lose it AND it let's you use the Backup feature. None of this really makes sense to me and it seems to be too manipulative. What irks me the most was that I was not given the opportunity to skip the signup and simply activate the product via the key that came with it. 2. That green bar that shows up in the browser is ugly and I just don't appreciate it. 3. Norton's marketing machine has me confused. On their site they have a product comparison chart that shows Internet Security 2008 to provide greater Network protection. But on the 360 box they leave this out and make it look like 360 is all around more complete - confusing to say the least as I would like to have full Network wire and wireless protection - so does 360 cover it or not? 4. Re the above issue, their on line tech support was unable to accurately clarify the question. 5. The box says that it is good for 3 machines, but when you install it there is some crap about it being only good for one, which is unlikely, but again nonetheless confusing and a real turnoff. I don't care how good it may or may not be, from what I have seen so far, my customer experience with this product, imho,it sucks. More than happy to leave a comment here about Norton 360:
