Norton / Symantec, NO MORE!!! 
2007-05-21
I have used Norton/Symantec products for over a decade. Over the last couple of years, I have struggled with Norton/Symantec products in and out. Most computers we purchased came with Norton Internet Security installed from factory (DELL -- yet another BIG disapointment!). We went along with it... but the hassle, the errors, the crashes, are just not worth it.
At this moment, I am cleaning ALL computers we work with, of ALL Norton and Symantec products and will NEVER go back to ANY. It gets 1 star because I cannot give it less! I would if I could!
The last drop that made me decide to abandon Norton/Symantec for good, was our machines stating to fail one after the other with this same error: Stop:c0000221 Unknown Hard Error
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
AVG is FREE and with Zone Alarm Pro, does a perfect job!
RIP, Norton/Symantec!

I agree with all the negative reviews. I've been a happy Norton customer for years, but this is the worst thing I've ever installed on my computer. In the past, Norton has helped me through some difficult times, but now IT is the problem.

I have had no problems with Norton unlike reports I have heard. I will continue to use their product and support when needed.
Had to remove due to poor performance.

Terrible program. Always in your face, kind of like windows does but even worse. Just want to install and forget, not have to interface with every day. Really slowed down the computer. Even uninstalling this app took unbelievably long. Norton really seems to make their apps way more complicated than necessary.

I was not happy with the resource hogging nature of the software. Only used it a short while. Part of problem is it requires a large amount of RAM & my PC was a little old. Expansion helped but it still took over at times.
Fallen from grace

Although Norton AV and System Works - actually most products I purchased from Symantec/Norton - work well... they are starting to look like dinosaurs in the market. I like that the AV component (I've used Norton AV for years, bundled or not) has let only a few pieces of non-harmful malware thru.
NIS 2006 with default install leaves a lot to be desired - more updates and reboots than installing Windows itself. If you have problems, and wish to roll back (system restore), you have to uninstall the product - to completely remove its traces - it's almost easier to do a clean install of XP again.
I'm not fond of any company that embeds FUD (upsell) in their products - NIS 06 is full of half-full green circles warning me I'm not fully protected or optimized, click here to (buy this or that) to fix the problem.
I also have Systemworks Premiere - and after about a year and half of experience - I can only say I wish I had not bought the bundles, but the stand-alones.
Although a single source vendor for PC security and utility needs is convenient... it isn't convienent when the solution becomes the problem.
I hope they turn it around in 07/08.

I liked this product so well I ordred the 2007 edition when it became available. The price is great! You get a hard copy for the price of a download.

I got what I think was a great deal for this product. I received it in excellent condition, and have nothing but good things to say about it. Keep up the good work Amazon!
