Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! Read the Reviews!
Comment: This product CONFLICTS with OTHER NORTON PRODUCTS! It is TERRIBLE. DO NOT BUY! Read all the one star reviews - every point made is valid. It conflicts with Norton Antivirus. It causes very slow page uploads that reach the point of maddening when you have high speed DSL. It is a huge memory drain. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

Summary: Horrible Experience
Comment: I lost the old Norton Password Manager when I upgraded Norton Systemworks. I thought I would try Norton Confidential as an upgrade for the password manager. It is a complete system hog and it brought my internet access to its knees. It also did not fill in any passwords... just slowed everything down. I tried to remove it from the system startup and it ran anyway. I finally un-installed it and the un-install of Confidential messed up my systemworks install. Nothing but complete aggrevation!! I also have a hot key product called Macro Express which I have used successfully for years. The Notron Confidential killed Macro Express and made it not work. I decided to get rid of Confidential and keep Macro Express. Do not buy Norton Confidential!!

Summary: Do not buy this abysmal product - the worst SW I've ever used
Comment: This is the first negative review I've posted for a product, but Norton Confidential has earned it. Normally, I let things be. Maybe it's my fault. Maybe my expectations were too high. Not this time.
I've had this SW on my WinXP machine for a year. It took over 8 hours and four uninstall/reinstall cycles of the whole Norton Internet Security package and Norton Confidential to get it to work. Three calls were needed to the Symantec "help" desk, finally they walked me through it setp-by-step (that took 90 minutes).
I bought it primarily to fill-in website usernames and passwords. Most of the time, IT JUST DOESN'T WORK: I have to enter them manually because the program is missing in action. And, when revisiting sites it often does not remember that the PW and Username has already been entered and an annoying dialog box appears asking if I want an alternate log-in. Always the same URL, nothing changed.
After logging into the password vault upon booting, it often works for a while. But, I don't think its functionality can withstand Hibernating or Suspending the machine. The Phishing Filter is so bad (especially with Yahoo) that I had to disable it.
Now, the 1-year is up. I get annoying "renew or uninstall" messages every time I open IE7. And, because I didn't renew it, it finally turned itself off AND LOCKED ALL the User and PW data I've painstakingly enetered. So, NOW I HAVE NO ACCESS TO MY OWN DATA. That means major inconvenience. This is totally unacceptable.
If I knew then what I know now, I would NEVER have purchased it. I thought "for $45, why not?" WRONG! That was before the installation experience and a year of dealing with its unreliable performance. I refuse to renew it.
LOWEST POSSIBLE RATING.

Summary: Don't Buy Norton Confidential
Comment: You'd think you could trust Norton, but not this time. Norton Confidential is the only program that has caused my Mac G5 to crash...twice, before I uninstalled it. Alas, the damage is done, and now my Norton Antivirus doesn't work, no matter what, even after a new install.
Repeat: do...not...buy...Norton Confidential.
Customer Rating:
Summary: less than worthless
Comment: A pain to install, requiring more than one attempt and rebooting.
Then, it slowed internet explorer to the pace of a dead turtle, even with broadband access.
(It does not protect nor slow down Mozilla Firefox.)
To make Windows Explorer usable, I had to un-install this program.
It was one big waste of time.
For me, Norton-Symantec is trashing their brand reputation with this garbage.
