User reviews

What a waste of time, please bring back Bullguard all is forgiven! I WILL NOT be renewing my Norton when it runs out as I have found it to be constantly nagging screens and pop-ups just to get more money from me. Someone needs to take a good look at the Norton brand and stop Pi$$ing people off!
