Yo estoy conforme con el producto, es verdad que todo el tiempo mandan alternativas que para ampliar un mejor resultado ofrecen otro paquete.

La actualización de Norton es malísima. El arranque es muy lento y las operaciones de escaneo también. No recomiendo Norton y en el futuro cambiaré de antivirus.
