A Multi Dollar Allusion to Buying an Apple Computer [Posted on 2005-12-14]
This product is an absolute menace to my normal daily internet activity. It blocks Java links well, so well in fact, that I am having troubles getting around on quite a few pages and also other strange stuff is happening to my page-layouts.

Sometimes I have to refresh my pages several times in order to use the links to others or see friendly pop-ups; that even will not work after you switch off NIS's (Norton Internet Security's) pop-up blocker (Internet Explorer's pop-blocker also switched of and IE restarted). The Anti-Spam feature on mine crashes every time it is used.

Then comes the hassle of installing it, it truly is a science of its own ... I have NEVER in my life experienced any product giving me SO much trouble. I am not a computer crack, but I'm no dummy either. Be careful not to install this product over an older version like 2003 or 2004 without removing one of these versions COMPLETELY (!) first ... that includes ALL registry entries as well!

When it comes to upgrading the virus definitions and program upgrades, well there must be some kind of secret sequence for doing this properly. First of all it is not possible to upgrade in one session, if you have an older version it will take ages ... after which you will discover the program no longer functions ... in fact I believe there are more error codes than program lines in the script that runs this software. It's hopeless ... truly hopeless. Though I might think of one way to outrun this nuisance ... get an Apple In fact I think this product is a multi dollar allusion to buying one!

Norton Internet Security 2005 Antispyware Edition creates as many problems as it solves [Posted on 2005-12-17]
After reading many reviews, both postitive and negative, of the Norton Internet Security 2005 Antispyware Edition, I went ahead and purchased it. I have been a Norton user for years, so I decided to take a chance. It installed easily and worked beautifully for almost two months. Then my computer started crashing. After many attempts to find the root of the problem and after much expense, I am convinced, as other reviewers warned, the Norton software is to blame. Now I cannot turn off my computer without its crashing; I am unable to update my antivirus protection because I get a message via the Norton software that it cannot make an Internet connection. (I have followed all directions for correcting this that is found on the Norton website, but nothing works.) Also, the software really slows down the receiving of email. And forget getting any help from Norton other than what is written on their website. In essence, I have paid a hefty sum for software that causes crashes, causes sluggish performance and worst of all, cannot give me up-to-date protection. I feel totally ripped off. So tonight I am going to uninstall Norton (which from past experience I suppose will involve more than a simple uninstall click) and try PC-cillin.
I would recommend any potential Norton buyers to beware.

Norton Internet Security slows down my system to a crawl [Posted on 2006-10-24]
NIS 2005 AntiSpyware edition came with my Dell computer that I purchased that year. While I'm satisfied with the protection that it gives me, I find that the computer moves very slowly at times, especially at startup. When I start up my computer, I take a 5 minute snack break to make better use of my time. I've since updated to the 2007 version and observe the same thing. Norton has too much going on in the background, which greatly compramises system speed. For optimum protection with greater efficiency (smaller footprint), I recommend trying NOD 32 Antivirus, available through [...].

Norton Internet Security and Antispyware [Posted on 2007-12-28]

I had to send back to Symantec. It would not download on my computer as I have Windows ME. I was told the 2005 edition would download on my computer, but it wouldn't. They are sending me a refund.

I appreciate the fast service and the good attitude on the phone, and politeness given to me. They were ready to please the customer.
