User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star Frustrating
I have used Norton products for years. With the good reviews I decided to upgrade my expiring products and even purchased a 5 pack to install on the company computers……… big mistake.
The download was filled with fancy screens and instructions that were not consistent with the options offered. Normally this would only be a minor point as the right combination would appear. However, the new one refused to load claiming a thread error.
After multiple attempts I tried the online help. I started as #20 in line and v e r y
slowly progressed to 1# at which point I was connected to a tech who was probably in India and also working on a couple of other customers. He took me through the steps to get him inside my computer but that failed. He then made it possible for me to download the software. However, the installation immediately ate my existing norton (together with all the custom settings) and then wanted to reboot the system which the tech said was essential. The only problem is that after the installation the computer would not shut down normally and I needed to shut it down manually . Of course when it rebooted it had lost all the info about my contact with the tech and my session number was no longer valid.
Thinking that this was ok since I had norton I proceeded to open Norton. However, there is no opportunity to insert my user information , only space to accept another credit charge.
Total loss-about 3 hours and loss of existing security.
Next day - no response to my written request for help.
Survival in today’s market is all about customer service and here it seems to have taken on the character of vaporservice.
5 Stars works like it should
this year’s version installed easier than 2008 and seems to run more efficient on my computers. I installed it on a vista system with a duo core CPU - went great. Then moved on to an XP system with a Pentium 4 - also installed great. Then moved to another XP system with a duo core CPU - no problems. I was happier with how well it installed and is running for 2009 than the 2008.
5 Stars HUGE improvement over Norton Internet Security 2008
I wrote in my review of Norton Internet Security 2008 that I used the product - but despised it. The hit to my system’s resources was just too great, and I turned much of it off as a result.
The 2009 version is MUCH faster - to the point where I am leaving all options enabled. The hit to the system appears to be minimal. The user interface is simpler and less confusing also. Big improvements all around.
Be aware that the engines underlying Internet Security 2009 and Norton 360 are reported to be different, with 360 using the older version (i.e., performance problems).
3 Stars Buyer BEWARE!! All the users are tied together.
Norton Internet Security 2009 5-User
I have used Norton Antivirus for the past number of years and have been fairly satified with the level of protection, even if the customer support left a little to be desired. I decided to step up a bit and purchase Norton Internet Security 2009 because two of my computer’s subscriptions were running out, which in the newer versions leaves you UNPROTECTED!
Since I have 5 computers in the house and they were all coming due at different times, I decided to get the 5-user edition. After installing it on 2 computers and going to my Norton account, I seems that the subscription lasts only one year from the activation date of the FIRST computer subscription. I was very unhappy because two of the other computers still have at least 8-11 months of subscription left on them.
So if you buy a multi-user license, be aware that it looks like it will expire for all the computers at the same time. I would have never purchased this if I would have known that information.
