This version of McAfee works as expected for various scans and protection and has extra clean tools to free up space in hard drive. The price is unbeatable too.

not usable

I have been a long time user of this product. In fact, I have over 17 registered products with them. This version is incomplete and the basic function of syncing directories between computers does not work UNLESS you buy cloud space from Acronis. There are many, many folks out there that have reported this and other issues with this recent version. I did ask for a refund, one of the RARE times I was so frustrated with a product that I went through the effort of asking. Predictably, I was told because I was outside of the 30 day window they could not accommodate me. Now, I have a proven track record over the years with their products, there is a wealth of other users that have the same issues I complained about and yet, they would refuse me the cost of their defective product in the hopes that I might stay for the next version or even an update of this version. So, save your money, look for any of the other alternatives and stay away from the 2015 version of this app.

Hard to use and is way too simple in content for even the average user.

I like it but I'm in no great hurry to use it. It covers the basics and should be more than enough to get you through a tough situation. I've completed enough so far that my wife will know what to do with my aged carcass when the time comes. You can do a lot with this and it walks you through it step by step. Provide for your loved one's and if you have no one else it's a done deal. Just make sure that it's an acceptable product in your state of residence. Cross all your T's and dot all your I's. And then ............................. you'll never know will you? (why should you care?) Un;less you have a clan of vultures this should do the trick.

Great anitvirus and does not mess with other program drivers as did some other brands like McKafe

I bought this after reading all the RAVE reviews (that should have been my first caution flag) after years of using Norton products. I've installed it on our 2 home computers. My wife was the first to noticed that it slowed her computer WAAAAAY down. The computer I use takes much longer to start up now. Compared to other security software I've used over the years: -It won't shut my computer down after a complete system sweep. -It won't "remember" unusual or new to it files. -It gives me few options regarding "perceived" security threats. - It REALLY slows down startup and shutdown. Conclusion: Going back to N--n after this subscription expires.

Gives me what I need to support basic legal needs (agreements, contracts, lease, loans, etc.) You need to know some legal ins and outs to make sure what you do is within the acceptable laws of your state.

Best antivirus because it does all the work in the background. You never have to manually tell it to run scans. It does all that on its own. Perfect for the less computer literate who never would remember to manually run scans as the other name brand antivirus' expect the user to do.

Received as expected

I have been a life long Norton user ever since I learned PC-Dos (not ms-dos) from Peter Nortons book (I still have it). Over the past few years I have been getting more and more frustrated with Norton. While using an older version can normally save you a lot of money, in this case, IT DOES NOT, and adds a lot of frustration with norton coming in and trying to load a new version (and charge you), even when you have over 300 days to go on the one you are using. Also the process of loading the required updates to bring the 2013 or 2014 version to present day, can be daunting, and my last bout with this process was the last straw, as it got stuck on 11 of 14, and would not go any further no matter how many times I un-installed, and re-installed the software. I have tried AVG, and found it to be a bit twitchy, and am now using Webroot which seems to be working out very well. Windows platforms are hard enough to deal with, without having to ALSO deal with antivirus software that is constantly taking your attention away from ACTUALLY working on the computer. At this point (after using Norton for over 40 years), my recommendation, is to steer clear of it, as there are now many, many other choices out there, and after selling Norton to Symantec in 1990, the company went straight down hill, as far as I am concerned.

Does the job.

Always happy with Norton products. Very pleased with this item I ordered.

Perfecr

Received as expected

Easy to use.

Good as ever. Reliable and dependable, and fairly quick. It seems I've used TurboTax forever.

Been using TurboTax for many years. Intuit improves the package...a bit...each year. Was easy to download the investment packages via the proper name and password. This saves time versus a manual entry.

Have been using TurboTax for years... plan to continue to use it for years more.

good

Great software. As easy as doing taxes can be

I reviewed the processor demands of several security suites and found two I liked. Norton is way to intrusive, and Webroot is light. Big plus, it comes from that far away place, Colorado - you know Made in America.

I tried to install this on my new Windows laptop running Win 8.1.1 64-bit with an Intel i7 processor, plenty of HD space, plenty of RAM. The installation program ran for about an hour and then an alert came up saying that the program had stopped working. I okayed out of that and then two windows came up with numerical codes. A final window came up saying that the installation had not finished and nothing on my computer was changed. However, on my desktop was a Pinnacle Studio icon and when I clicked on it, the program started to run. Given the option where to check for media files, I just allowed the public folders because I knew that there wasn't much on there. It recognized the only movie I had there, so I clicked on it to open it. The screen went black, then it went white, and then the program shut down and my desktop reappeared. I checked File Explorer and saw that there was 2+GB of data in a Pinnacle folder under Program Files (x86). Apparently a failed installation didn't result in the removal of the files it previously installed. Also, it was curious that on a 64-bit computer the default installation was in Program Files (x86) instead of Program Files. So for whatever reason, this program will not work successfully on my computer, and I'm not going to waste anymore hours trying to get it work. I can't review any of the features included with it. I would prefer to give it a zero star review since I can't get it to work in my situation, but that option isn't available to me so I felt that a two-star rating was the fairest. I used Revo Uninstaller to remove all of its bits and pieces.

For software where you can pick up free versions, like 7-zip, I'm surprised Corel has this retailing for $60. Even winrar comes with a trial that never expires, but it will nag you every time you run it. On top of this, you can purchase it online for half the cost of this. Otherwise, it installed easily enough and it is now my default unzip software. I was happy with it until this morning.... When I logged onto my computer, it said an update was available. No problem, I said to go ahead and download/install the update. After the install, it took me through the installation wizard. I was a little nervous because this is when extra software likes to piggy back onto your computer. Sure enough, after the install some colorful, round icon appeared on my desktop. I was upset because 1) this is paid software for crying out loud. Fine, try to sneak stuff in when it is free, I get that you need to pay the bills. But this wasn't free, this was $60!! And then even worse is 2) it never prompted me to install this software. Usually when I update Java I catch that it is trying to install a toolbar and I tell it not to. With this, it didn't even give me the option, it just installed it hoping I wouldn't notice. I immediately uninstalled the new software, but when I got to work I noticed my Chrome (which syncs settings with my home computer) now had a new home page. Needless to say, I'm not happy. Honestly, I didn't realize until now that WinZip is owned by Corel. Upon the realization I muttered, "That explains things." I've had nothing but bad luck with Corel ever since they bought Word Perfect. I would have skipped this completely if I had noticed who sells it now. The fact they obscure their name from the product is rather telling.

Love Winzip - athought I have only been using this to zip, unzip, and editing TAR files. I haven't used the cloud based archive features included in this newest version. We have been strongarmed into using a different compression product at my office, we I cordially dislike. ;) Winzip is the standard - easy to use, intuitive, and packed with useful features.

It's Winzip. I honestly can't tell much difference in all of the updates. Windows now has additional functionality for opening zip files that almost renders this software useless but not quite. It is good for sending zip files and is easy to use.

When I was offered a chance to review this product, I jumped at it. I often need to manage sets of files and WinZip helps with this purpose. The best way to think about a zip file is as a collection of documents. Anytime you may hand someone a folder of documents (in business, organizations, etc...) you can think about handling the user a "zip" file of the same electronic documents. When thought of this way, it makes sense to communicate to people with zip files (or folders) instead of collections of documents. Now, instead of sending people 10 seperate files via email, you can easily organize them into these "zip" folders, and then share the compressed file via email. While standard Windows/Mac has the ability to compress files (or open them) for free, these solutions have limitations. For instance, while you can archive a single folder into a zip file, you have to manually repeat this process if you have a batch of folders that need to be individually compressed at once. The WinZip command-line interface allows you to process batches of files with a single set of commands. If you company supports them, this software has additional features that aren't supported by Microsoft. For instance, out-of-the-box MS SharePoint does support the checking-in and checking-out of ZIP files. This comes in handy where you want to check in a folder of documents, vs a single document. A properly configured SharePoint sites (where a separate WinZip Express for SharePoint program is installed by an admin), you can utilize zip files for check-in and check-out. The big question is whether or not to purchase the Standard or Pro (reviewed) version. From looking at WinZip's website, the main differences deal with the ability to manipulate photos, and in the ability to run automated backups. If neither of these features are of interest to you, consider saving some money and purchasing the Standard version. If you regularly use compressed files (or think you could benefit from them), I suggest you 1) download the evaluation copy direct from WinZip, and then 2) buy the software.

I've used WinZip for years and like many people I used the free one but never upgraded. I like that it will open just about any file type you throw at it. It does exactly what you need. I know cloud computing the "New thing" but I don't have a lot of use for it on a large scale with zipped files. What I do like beside zipping/unzipping are the PDF conversion, adding a watermark (no major software required) and the resizing photos, esp for Facebook.

WinZip is useful as it's ubiquitous, files can be unzipped by anyone, which makes it a good tool to manage and email large files. Of course, it's also useful to be able to zip them to store them in the Cloud, especially if you have the free versions and have much less storage space. It also allows you to carry multiple files on SD cards or USB drive or even your tablet. This version of WinZip connects directly to Dropbox, Google Drive etc so you can use it to organize all your cloud files at once. A password can be set for encrypted files for security. It also converts files to PDF, a useful feature for me, I have been using the free PrimoPDF so far. It can also create a read only PDF that is useful for things like resumes. I have only tried it with Microsoft office files so far. Overall, useful but also a little glitchy, if I did not have large files to compress I would keep using the free version.

that WinZip remains the standard by which file compression software is to be judged. I've been a steady user of WinZip for 20 years now, and while other compression programs are free, I always take the time to buy the new edition of this when it comes out. It remains one of the few essential software programs.

Want an app that allows you to perform quickly and at peak performance? Keep looking. This app is so slow you will be intrrrupted mid sentence by its painfull and distaying delays. And even with high speed broadband internet it will hang when you try to save documents to the Microsoft cloud.

not good security

Purchased to use on Windows 10, Power DVD 14 Ultra is made for Windows 7 & 8 and will only work on Windows 10 when you go to Power DVD's web site and down load the Windows 10 update patch at: [...] First install DVD 14 software from your disk or digital download, Once installed go to the website identified above. Where it says Version choose DVD14 then down load the update dated 2015-07-29. When down load is finished choose the "Run" option. Now it will work on Windows 10.

Arrived as described. I was pleased with purchase

I received this as a promotional item. It worked exactly as it was described. I have used Norton software since 1986 and it has always been as good as advertised.

Norton has a great solution for computer virus protection

Difficult installation; slows down the PCs significantly; do not use it on any other devices

Worked exactly as described. No complaints.

it is Great.

not so good with me

It never worked

Was not what I expected

fgnfn

Was not what I expected

Just as advertised !

Old Version. Already updated to new version.

A giant mess of a product but I use it for the point of sale credit card processing.

Great product

item as seller described

I like lifesafe, they are more like Norton, but cheaper. have used it for 2 yrs now

Great product

Disappointed with this version of Turbo Tax, and had to end up going to a tax professional to have my return done. Why would I need to spend $40 for the deluxe version of Turbo Tax in order to get my tax return done? I think Turbo Tax needs to be upfront about what features you'll get with the basic versus the deluxe. I always use the 1040EZ to file my taxes. I'd rather spend the extra couple of dollars to get the features included with the deluxe version than waste money. Luckily, I got this software to try out.

Turbo Tax best software I have found

Still a bit buggy, but improved over previous years.

The price was less than purchasing it direct from Intuit.

Easy to file your taxes correctly.

thank you for a excellent product

Really works well.

Didn't work well with other products.

My almost 5 year old does not really get a whole lot of independent screen time at the computer. We tried to introduce her to the software on our laptop and she just kind of got bored with it. We tried switching to the app for Ipad, which she is more comfortable with, but it is not linking up with the software profile we created...it seems more like an add on than a supplement to the reading program on the computer based tool. I guess I had better hopes for something that would really be instrumental to helping her learn to read, but it's been kind of a bust so far.

While the basic idea might be good for many kids the business modelan online subscriptionis wrong. I can't really see why anyone would want to keep this service unless you just had a lot of money to burn. Perhaps grandparents with lots of disposable income will find it acceptable. I give it three stars because the basic program works although I would not consider it stellar by any means. There are lots of repetitive aspects that will surely annoy most adults. A lot of the graphics seem generic as if not a lot of love went into the program's creation.

Long gone are the days when personal technology consisted of a desktop computer and clamshell flip phone. I realize there are a lot of naysayers about Adobe's shift to subscription based services but I am in the camp that appreciates the ability to access, edit and share my files on the go from multiple devices without having to purchase multiple licenses. As for the Adobe Creative Cloud plan, initial set up was easy and accessing files from different devices has worked smoothly. If you are already familiar with Photoshop and/or Lightroom, then CC will be intuitive to use. I am moderate in my skills and found the online tutorials very helpful. As with any new software, expect to spend some time navigating all the features and advanced techniques available. From Microsoft to Norton Security, many companies are shifting to subscription based services. But not all are worth it. With Adobe CC, the industry's best photo editing software is now available to many who would not otherwise be able to afford it. If you are a multi-device user - laptop, tablet, smartphone - Adobe Creative Cloud is actually a very good value and at least worth a try. It also makes a great gift for anyone looking to become proficient in Photoshop for job hunting purposes.

Adobe's Creative Cloud Photography plan combines two powerful digital image tools which compliment each other well. Photoshop is an industry standard application for image editing, creative manipulation, compositing and much more. Lightroom is a tool focused on working with digital photographs; cataloging, editing and image enhancement. Over a year ago Adobe implemented their new business model for their creative tools. Instead of selling licenses for their products outright, they went to a subscription model for the majority of their software products. You can choose to pay on a month by month basis for the tools you use, choose a bundle (such as the Photography Plan) or all the tools at once. By paying for a year at a time, the costs can be lowered, and there is an educational discount as well. This decision made for a lot of unhappy users who were used to perpetual licenses. There is some upside though; users benefit from major releases without having to buy the software all over again. Students can actually afford the software for a semester's worth of work. Adobe is able to leverage the connected aspects of Creative Cloud applications for such things as sharing content. Photoshop is the industry standard software for image work, specifically raster based (as opposed to vector based, which is Illustrator's specialty). This includes common image formats such as jpeg, gif, RAW, png, TIFF, PSD (photoshop's native format). It can even import video. For this release (CC 2014) Adobe wisely chose to not change the look and feel of the software from CS 6. It has the familiar white on dark color scheme. All the tools and menus are pretty much as they have always been. This is good news for long time users. For those getting started, Photoshop can be a little daunting. Fortunately, there are many resources available in book and online form to help, including Adobe's own excellent videos. The tool set is quite deep. There are drawing tools, there is the type tool and extremely powerful selection tools. Need to separate an object from it's background? There are several ways to do it, and these can be combined. Need to remove an object? Photoshop can pull a magic trick with it's content aware fill tool. It was good in CS 6, and it is improved further in Photoshop CC 2014. As has been always the case, Photoshop's use of layers is an essential feature - allowing for compositing, layering, mattes, layer operations. An extensive list of creative filters are at an artists disposal. There are users who spend years with Photoshop and are still learning new ways to use the software. CC 2014 is an incremental release over CS 6. As has already been said, one would be hard pressed to spot a difference between it and CS 6 just by looking at the screen layout. The differences show up when you dig into the menus. Blur Gallery Motion Effects adds a lot of depth. Upscaling of images has improved. A better Perspective warp. A camera shake reduction that actually works (but still, don't expect miracles for truly bad photos). Creative Cloud Library integration for group work projects. Photohop CC 2014's 3D tools are even better - now supports 3D printers. Is it enough for those hanging on to their copies of CS 6 to upgrade? My rule of thumb in years past was to alternate releases. I went from CS 4 to CS 6. CC 2014 feels almost like a CS 7.5. Lightroom is Adobe's tool for Photography management and creative work. It has always been a good tool that has steadily improved. It's closest competitor was Apple's Aperture, which Apple has announced is now end of life - to be replaced with a new application called Photos. Adobe has capitalized on this period of uncertainty by offering a tool to import Aperture libraries into Lightroom. Lightroom's workflow is to import images, either singly or folders at a time. Editing is non-destructive; the original images are left alone. Once images are imported into a library, the user goes to the "Develop" panel to apply image adjustments such as color correction, curves and lens corrections (such as correcting for distortion from a wide angle lens). Tools include spot removal, graduated and radial filters and the adjustment brush (allowing for selective tonality adjustments). Extensive export options are supported, including creating photo books (either as PDF or sent to Blurb), slideshows and Web galleries. The last option is very nicely done, with a fair amount of flexibility in layout including output types (such as Flash or HTML). For those who are either professional photographers or dedicated amateurs, Lightroom is an excellent tool to have. It should be noted that unlike Photoshop CC, Lightroom can either be "rented" through the Creative Cloud, or purchased outright. It is one of the few products left that Adobe sells a license for (Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements are two others that come to mind). Both of these tools together represent a fully realized workflow for creative image work. Lightroom handles importing images, cataloging them, adjustments and output. Photoshop adds an extremely powerful creative tool for working with those images combined with other sources. While there are other options, including the free GIMP, both represent the industry standard. For any one interested in graphic design or photographic work, they are near essential.

I am a avid photographer with many cameras and photos. My camera gear is very important to my creative work, and Adobe Creative Cloud is just as important as my other photography gear. This package is where the magic to great photos take place. Yes, it is important to start with good images, but to make them go beyond your regular snap shots to photo art you need this Adobe package, Ps and Pr. This package is easy to install and have working in a very short time. There are tons of Youtube videos explaining out best to use this package. Amazon also has many books to help you learn the best ways to make use of this software. I highly recommend this product to anyone which to take their photography to new levels.

works well

Arrived as described. I was pleased with purchase

It did not work

a good product for school. [email protected]

It did not work.

Worked

Works...that's all I can say about it. VERY non-intuitive. Help is barely adequate. Darn right UGLY, spartan interface. Back to Turbo Tax!

Useful for me when I am on a tight budget

A good second fiddle for Microsoft Office.

This is a great program that can be downloaded from LibreOffice.org and a compatible program that is just as free can be downloaded from OpenOffice.org If you want this program, you can get the updated version from LibreOffice.org This is version 4.3 and the one from LibreOffice.org is already 5.0

NOT GOOD

Great, except I could have downloaded it from adobe.com

It was the free copy you can download from adobe.com.

There are a couple things I would like to see such as large files moved to the outside of the drive. Or files used a lot are in the inside of the drive where it will take the information the fastest. Give the user more control how the defrag gets done. I went as far as upgrading and registering the program rather than just using as is.

Just as advertised !

It did not download correctly

Great

When it has came up to us, we do have a lot of music and media that we do need to start uploading for digital storage. Especially today, with nearly all of our music coming to our tablets, smartphones from places like ITunes and Google. But for those of us whom have CD's and records that do want to transition them to digital MP3 files, they need a strong burner software, that will help you rip, burn & preserve your favorite music into one place. But finding that kind of software is much easier said than done. Most of us pick the wrong software at the end. When I had heard about this free software called FreeRip, I wanted to see if was as good as other brands, and honestly it isn't as strong. FreeRip MP3 Converter is alright, but doesn't do as strong enough of a job as is the case with media software from companies like Roxio and Adobe. Not only that, but as I was ripping some CD's, it wouldn't recognize the discs as strongly as I thought it would. Overall, I would not recommend this software as strongly as others. You really can find better for the money. It is too bad it isn't here. Price: D+ Convenience & Setup: C- Overall: C-

Was not what I expected

You get what u pay for!

Can use over on new builds after your done using your last build w/o going to MS

Happy Happy Joy Joy! It was just as it was advertised, so it gets four stars, what else is there to say! They would get five stars if they went above and beyond what was advertised and expected. Imagine if your grocery store was like this and you had to rate every product you purchased! How annoying would that be?

Quick Ship, Good product.
