I bought Norton Internet Security 2012 5 pc because of long standing disappointment with McAfee, and good performance reviews for Norton. Its performance is superior to any system I have used for years. However, it turns out that the 1 year license starts counting down after the first install on a PC. Subsequent installs on other systems decrease the license period by the time between the first install and subsequent installs. The Amazon site does not state this. With the aid of a magnifying glass, I found that the product box top says somewhat cryptically that the license is for one year starting with the first install. You apparently can’t find this out until after purchase, which is a little late. I had not intended to install two systems until July. I will now just give up the McAfee licenses and install on all 5 machines. In my view the Norton license scheme is deceptive and fraudulant. If you are not prepared to install the product on 5 machines at the same time, you will get cheated out of part of the one year period of performance for all but the first install. Buyer beware!Norton Internet Security 2012 – 5 Users

This verison is a bit better than the last one, With more bells and wistles to help protect your computer. A couple of things to note are: this program WILL delete older programs in your computer and once you install on the first computer your year of service starts, regardless of when you install on other computers.This is not noted on the box. So far I’m satisfied with the protection. As for the shipping , it came before we were supose to get it by about 3 days.
