This version as with 2011 runs in the background with no slowing of the rest of the programs. I have got used to its screen 'face' and of course once it is set up one can use the extras or simply let it run. I will continue to use the program after the beta. Thanks again to PCA (FE) and Norton.

Well, barely noticed it was there which, for something like internet security, is what I want. Except when I checked the forum, to see what the next question was, I pretty much forgot it was there.

I've had a couple of error messages, one self-fixed, one not (but reported back to them), but nothing else exciting.

So, thank you, Forum Editor, and thanks to Norton.

(By the way, as in previous years, the installed version will last a month, if reactivated (just before?) by the 14 day deadline. When it becomes inactive after a month, you can re-download the newest beta, and get another 14/28 day licence. That can be repeated until mid-September).

All in all it seems a reliable internet security package. I can't really see the point of some of the utilities, Application Ratings and the Activity Map seem a bit gimmicky.

Thanks for the opportunity to take part in the testing.

It suprised me how smooth it all was. Would definatly consider recomending to people.

As others have said, gets on quietly in the background doing it's job without any fuss, Will use and recommend it.
