Summary: Do not trust this software to protect your computer!
Comment: A previous version of this software came with Vista PC I purchased for my father over a year ago. When I renewed this product I performed the recommended upgrade to 2008 Internet Security (1 user) and made sure that it was working properly.
I checked on his computer a few months later to find this software had disabled auto-protect features without warning. I couldn't enable these features and there was nothing to indicate what the problem was. I clicked on the Fix It button and after a long scan of the computer it was determined I needed to contact support without any indication of what the problem is. It costs over $9.00 to contact support by phone (perhaps this is a scam they're running -- break the software and charge people to fix it?), or you can download a 4MB program to perform a live chat that installs and never runs. You can also send them email, but I have no information regarding the problem.
I'm done with Norton and I'm moving to another solution. I'm a software engineer and work on a lot of different computers. I've tried most antivirus products at one time or another and by today's standards for professional software there is no excuse for this type of problem.

Summary: The Devil You Know
Comment: Norton computer products are sort of the devil you know. You stick with them because you fear the other anti-virus/internet protectors will be worse. Norton does an acceptable, not great job, and I also back it up with other (free) anti-cookie and anti-spyware products.
There's always some glitch to installing Norton products--one try is never enough, even if you're very computer literate.
My other comment is that if you have a previous Norton subscription, don't install your new product until the very last day, because they'll never give you even a day's credit for your previous subscription, even though they start nagging you to renew at least a month in advance. You'd drop a magazine subscription that did that!

Summary: Norton Internet Security 2008 3 user
Comment: Although I have had this product for a few weeks, I have only just installed it. It seems to be working well and was easy to install.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Amazon statement of 3 users is incorrect.
Comment: Amazon states this is for 3 users which is incorrect. It is for one user only, with 3 PCs. I wasted money on this as I could have bought the one for only one computer. I had to install due to canceling from my Internet that was charging me $ 6.00 a month. It also came with the antivirus so I would not have had to pay for either.

Summary: I use it, I detest it
Comment: Norton just may be the best of the AV suites available, but that doesn't make it much more palatable. The software is a pain to install and worse to renew, has a major (negative) impact on performance, and is paternalistic to the max. Turn off anything - anything - in the suite, and you'll never see the end of warning messages in your system tray warning you of Armegeddon. From a protection standpoint, the software is pretty good, but by no means a panacea, and things do slip through. Personally, I suspect there are some memory leaks somewhere in the software, as my machine is unresponsive to the point of being unusable after a full system scan.
I went to an AV suite after running without one for years, but finally got hit with a virus that required reflashing and a ground-up rebuild. Given the performance problems running AV software, however, my current thinking is that I might be better off simply taking a conservative approach with data security and redoing the build once a month. Given that's an immensely easier task on the Mac OS (more secure to begin with), I'm switching in the next couple of months. Norton and Vista aren't my idea of better off.
