Bad and getting worse

2008-02-26
I've been using Norton for many years and the past couple of years their products have been going down hill fast. I have had too many problems with Norton to list here so I'll tell you about the most recent one. I have 160 days left on my subscription and I will be uninstalling Norton as soon as I get my copy of Webroot from Amazon.

The latest debacle with Norton is that I get an error every time I boot up now. It says Auto Protect is off and has an error. When I click Fix Now all it does is a live update and the error still exists. Outlook will not send or receive e-mails with that portion of Norton turned on so I had to turn it off. So virtually nothing in Norton works now. I sent Norton another request to help fix the problem. Their "solution" included no less than 3 pages, over 900 words, and included 8 major (high level) steps. I asked them if they were kidding and have not received a response (like I expected one).

Bottom line IMO is that Norton software is garbage and their customer support (while be prompt) offers no viable solution to my problem.

DO NOT WASTE A DIME ON ANYTHING FROM NORTON!!

Nothing but problems with various Norton products until I dumped them!

The free downloads of AVG Free Edition and Lavasoft Ad-Aware work better for me than Norton ever did, and are FREE!! Mwaaaahahahahaha!!! Great to see these rip-off artists slowly falling by the wayside. I despise how these daze you buy something like software or a dvd and they slobber ads all over your screen that you can not stop! I PAID for this??!! No thanks, and never again!
The biggest scam with Norton is not only how it slows down your system, but how it completley embeds itself in all the windows registries so that it is itslef now a virus! Why not just call it Big Brother Mach 2 to go with BB Mach 1 (Windoze XP etc)?
I highly recommend anyone with XP to save all your important stuff and then wipe your hd clean. Reinstall the XP crap (Linux would be wiser!) but say no to all the extras and Norton and DO NOT INSTALL SERVICE PACK TWO!!! IT IS A SCAM AND ONLY SLOWS DOWN YOUR HD, ADDING NO REAL SECURITY AT ALL, IN FACT JUST THE OPPOSITE. I've done it on various computers for various friends and they all love the new faster slimmer XP and they crash much less! You do the math.
Norton blows.
Bye-bye, ripoffs, hello freeware that works better and costs nothing.

NIS 2007 load issues

2008-02-18
Norton Internet Security 2007 load was terrible. I used the program remove tools to remove NIS 2006. The load went ok until I tried to update the virus protection. I would not update and said my subscription was expired, even though the NIS 2007 said I had 366 days left.I went to Norton tech support and loaded a patch to fix this problem but did not work. Still said my subscription was expired. On line chat went through all my t/s steps again and finally sent me a new NIS program (I think it may be NIS 2008) and this fixed my problem. I had read alot of horror stories about this s/w but figured others did not follow instructions on removal of old s/w or HW requirements. But not the case this s/w was not properly validated.

Symantec isn't honest with your money

I tried to renew the subscription online (from the Security Center provided link), and I gave all my data including credit card, then I've received confirmation of billing that did not contain any activation key. I tried to renew through the server - didn't work as well. So, I wrote to the Customer Service, and they answered that my order was not completed, and I should place another one. But then I asked my bank and they confirmed that my card has been charged for that renewal. It's been a week ago already and there is no change.

Just try to uninstall it !

It seemed a good deal, its cheap and easy to install. Once it crashes by who-knows-why the program cannot be removed of the system even using the Symantec uninstaller which freezes into an eternal loop wondering : Where do I wrote that registry key, mmmh ?

Buy from him again

There is not much to say.. I got my order on time and Norton Internet Security Suite 2007 is good program.

Great product

I have been a Norton user for several years. In 2005 and 2006 it became a resource hog and I switched. The 2007 and now the 2008 are great, light on the resources and they don't bother you with constant alerts. In my office we are all Norton, it works well at home and on a small business network.

GREAT

I KEEP COMMING BACK TO NORTON,THEY NOW HAVE SIGN ON {AUTO}.THEY HAVE TAKEN CARE OF ME.

Easy to use and setup

2008-04-07
I'mnot a computer guy - I'm an outdoor guy but I do not like to have my computers screwed up with viruses and the like. This software was so easy to install, setup and run. A child could do it...ok a grandmother could do it. I have not had any problems with any of my computers since this software was installed.

Large, slow, unreliable

2008-03-07
I finally took Norton Internet security 2007 off my computer, which is not an easy task. I kept getting errors that would turn automatic virus protection off! Once it is turned off, only by rebooting the computer could it be turned back on. Norton would say that they downloaded a fix for my error, but it would still randomly happen. It is also slow, large and really takes over your computer. I noticed that other spyware programs would discover spyware when Norton Internet Security did not. I could see that it is very particular of what software programs it will work with...I am a computer technician, I was in love with System Works, now I will avoid this program until they once again establish their customers trust. I know of others now that will not touch this program.
