just installed W7 norton beta working ok again sonar blocked jk mydefrag but was able to reverse this in monthly report view.

norton not opening this morning in xp not sure why yet,nothing happens when clicking on shotcut or via start icon missing from taskbar.

So far I am quite impressed. The install was smooth and hassle free and now it sits in the background and appears to the job it was designed for. I have not noticed any speed difference, either faster or slower, but I have installed it on a brand new laptop with a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate and shed loads of RAM. I also need some free time, possibly tomorrow, to investigate the backup function which is showing as having failed a backup on 28th.
Ran a scan of the whole system and it seemed to run quicker than AVG, which I have always used prior to this.

Quite pleased with the performance of Norton. The machine runs smoothly and it might just be a little bit faster than normal.

"is the software running discretely and efficiently"

Yes it is. I have to keep checking to see if it is working as there is no sudden drop in performance. Definition updates are clean , fast and unnoticed. No flashy alarms bells, sounds or popups to tell you are up to date.

I usually get very little spam and 70% auto goes to junk folder. Now all spam is in the junk folder.

Very impressed, so far.

It seems to perform well so far. It is not at all intrusive.

I have not yet tweaked any of the settings and that seems fine for the anti virus and firewall, but spam is getting through that was blocked by my previous spam blocker. Having said that, most spam is captured at server level by my ISP.

I need to have another look at the backup facility. It looks like I can elect to backup whole drives, but not selected folders within that drive. I have only spent a few moments on this and, as rain is forecast for later, it will be something to do after the gardening.
