Rating: - Excellent Product
It integrates well with Windows Vista (32 bit). It is virtually transparent. Setup is a breeze.
The re-license is a bit steep though - but it is comparable with the other suites. Seems to me that the re-up should be significantly less that buying the full product off the shelf.

I highly recommend this product.

Rating: - Typical Mircrosoft product...poor!
Have had this product for 4 months and it only works well half the time; usually it is the back up that freezes up.
Help function is very hard to work with, as are all Microsoft products.

Rating: - Now, It's Easier to Protect Your Computer
Finding reliable and easy to use software that protects your computer from viruses and other terrible attacks is easy. I've now been using this product for six months and feel strongly that it beats Norton or McAfee by a mile.

I highly recommend this ... Read More

Rating: - Using this for three years
I like this program because it presents no clutter. I've had Norton in the past and it was very intrusive and pesky. It runs through the internet and that is its appeal. Some people don't like it but I believe it is the single most cost effective way to protect your investment. Good stuff.
