The software is available for download or from the dvd, the software is a complete security suite with anti virus, anti spam features and also many others. The software is easy and fast to install and also the file size is around 150 mb in size. The time taken to download and fully install was within only a few minutes. I was happy with the purchase of this version as it had a nice amount of tools to eliminate the viruses and keep my computer safe. 

I was pleased with the purchase because the fast scans of the computer was done fast, and I was able to get rid of the viruses and spyware on my computer. I am slightly annoyed by the amount of computer resources that Norton V 5.0 uses but at least the program runs well in silent mode. There are many options that a user can use to tweak the performance and set up tasks for the program to work better.

The price paid was £41.99 for a years subscription. I also find that this is good value and a better product than previous versions of Norton. I also find this better package than using free trials of anti virus and security software.

The program took me about half an hour to run the first full system scan, whereas the computer program will take about half a minute to scan the key areas of the computer. The program is fast and effective, and removes difficult to remove spyware and bugs that run within processes and also within programs themselves. The Norton 360 Premier V5.0 is in my opinion a delight to own. This has made my computer virus free and is also an effective purchase. 

I also like the live update modes that run automatically and install the latest definitions. I do not play around with the firewall settings but have realised that the program does work effectively.  The program is also good for identifying spyware and other problems. Users can also use the program to delay the running of certain processes. Norton delivers where other software editions fail in my view. After 1 years subscription the value of renewal is cheaper from my own experience. Norton 360 Premier v5.0 is a good anti virus and security software package that is easy to use,  and comes highly recommended.
