What's even better is that when 2013 version comes out in a month or 2 you get an automatic free update.

You can always have a free update. As long as you have an unexpired Product Key, you can download the latest version and it will be good until your key expires (which is a year from the key's first activation, not your registration with Symantec). This year I used a Key from 2009 NAV that worked just fine (never previously activated).

Can someone link the rebate form? Software is listed as "$0.00 after rebate" in search results, but product page only shows $40, with no reference or link to rebate form like Newegg usually does.
edit: oops... link is in OP. It is odd that they don't mention rebate on the product page, though. Maybe just haven't updated page yet (??)

As a computer tech for many years i have seen more virus infected computers with norton installed than any others
The text you describe "$0.00 after mail-in rebate card " is a link, click on it and you get a message that includes the rebate form.

No, that was search results for "Symantec 2012," which included the subject software as well as others. When I clicked on the specific product, the mention of rebate disappeared. It was simply $40.00 without the typical rebate link in the product. The rebate link is now there... I was trying to buy before they had a chance to put the rebate link on the page.

Norton increases my boot time by 20 seconds! It is sluggish and the scan takes ages to complete.

3-user allows... wait for it... _3_ users of the product. 1-user is for _1_. So, if you have 3 computers, you can either buy one 3-user license, or 3 1-user licenses to be legal.

Is Microsoft Security Essential not enough? It's free to download. That's what I have been using. Did anyone here use MSE and still get a virus?

bosbeemer said: Is Microsoft Security Essential not enough? It's free to download. That's what I have been using. Did anyone here use MSE and still get a virus?YES. I have machines that come in all the time with MSSE with viruses. For a while, they were all the variations of those fake antivirus programs that looked similar enough to MSSE to trick a few unsuspecting users.
My records indicate I've had 11 PCs over the past 2 years with a variation of that virus. 2 of the users actually put in their CC details thinking it's legit. 1 user was able to cancel their debit card before it was too late, the other had to file tons of paperwork.
My records indicatae 1 PC infected with this virus with Norton 2011 or 2012, and it was much earlier on. Don't get me wrong - MSSE is good protection and "good enough" for most users.
