    I purchased this security for a PC. Unfortunately the code was cheaply placed and came off when I removed the covering, so I didn't get to use it.

    Software came free with my laptop purchase. Did not install for fear of screwing up my system like most firewall crap does. Don't need it.

    Do yourself a favor and throw this away when you get it free with your PC purchase. It's just a ploy to get you to buy it when renewal time comes.

    Do not even attempt to install this product. It will only slow your system down and cause issues. I would give this zero stars (or less) if it would let me.

      Sherry, it is typically advisable to completely discard software you don't plan on using, as a product should be reviewed for its' efficacy with a well-rounded point of view.
