1 Star Computer has crashed
Since I have uninstalled the free AVG computer secutity software and installed the Norton Internet security software on my computer, the computer has become infected with a virus and unusable. I am glad I did not install it on any of my other computers.

1 Star Terrible User Interface
I recently switched to this from McAffe, and I think I’ll be switching back soon

The Norton Internet Security Window is very helpful only to those who have absolutely NO IDEA how internet security works. For people who want to command the program, it merely tells them what they already know.

Norton’s UI is made up of a series of windows and icons that attempt to reach the computer illiterate. They can be turned off, but they give computer-smart users little peace of mind.

For example, the Phishing filter on internet explorer. It sits there, telling you it is “on”. So what? I have NEVER seen it do ANYTHING in my entire online experience.

It didn’t even warn me when I went to a fake site, firefox let me know and I got nothing from Norton.

Along with this, Norton is highly lacking in features. Unlike McAffe, it doesn’t have the very handy SiteAdvisor, which, through the equivilent of Website crash-testing, rigourously checks every icon and file on any given site and gives a rating of how safe that website is.

I can only reccomend this program to those who don’t know how to protect themselves and those who just go to a few sites over and over again. Quite like acting as though you had a limited account on Windows.

For those who want to explore without worry, look elsewhere.

5 Stars Great Product
I’ve been a long time user of Norton Products (10+ years) and NIS is probably the best version yet. Easy to install and easy to keep up to date are big pluses with the program. It seems to run alot smoother that previous versions of the program, I haven’t seen it “bog down” my system, like previous versions seem to have done. The newer features, like Norton Insight and the Home Network settings seem to be easier to use. It’s worth the money to keep your ssytem up to date…get it!

5 Stars norton rocks!
Norton was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and grew up in Columbia, Maryland. His mother Robin, an English teacher, died of a brain tumor in 1997; his father, Edward Sr. is an attorney and former federal prosecutor under the Carter administration who now works for the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Norton Jr. is the grandson of developer James W. Rouse (also see The Rouse Company), who designed the city of Columbia, Maryland (where Norton grew up) and who also helped develop Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and Boston’s Quincy Market. He has two younger siblings; his sister Molly Norton, who attended Washington and Lee University and his brother Jim with whom he has collaborated professionally.

5 Stars best deal, best anti-virus
After I received my Norton Internet Security 2008, I installed it on my Vista computer with no problems. In fact, after fifteen minutes of activating the program, Norton e-mailed me and gave me a link to a free upgrade to the new Norton Internet Security 2009. Again it installed flawlessly. Then I installed the program on my XP computer with the same ease and with the same free upgrade. It has detected virus attacks and has recognized cookies, adware and spyware. It is a very good program at a very good price. Highly recommended.

1 Star No Thanks!
I ran Norton Anti Vi for almost 6 months before I discovered it was responsible for my system crashing daily. When I called their support I was sent useless procedures to follow and none of them resolved the problem. The only thing that worked was to remove it and install a different Anti-Vi from another company. I am running Bit-Defender and Kapersky on 2 separate PCs. A small problem with Bit-Defender was resolved quickly by their tremendous Customer Support. No problems with Kapersky so far after a year.

1 Star Symantec Will Not Honor the 3 Licenses- Only One
I installed one of the 3 licenses for NAV 2008 on one computer, but when I went to install it on a second, the keycode was rejected, and, after spending an hour chatting with a barely literate third world tech support guy named “Vivek”, he refused to admit that you can actually purchase 3 user licenses from a vendor. He was only aware of single and 5 user licenses, and he based his position entirely on this. So, if you pay for 3, you may only get one license. Buyer beware. This is an awful company to deal with, with even worse support. Stay away.

1 Star Worst decision I could have made
I had the 2005 Norton antivirus on my computer. This week, a notification popped up telling me I could upgrade to 2008 for free. I said “sure”. During the installation process, the old version is uninstalled and then the new version installs. The program froze while installing and my computer had to shut down. When it came back, everything appeared to be OK. Then I noticed that my virus protection kept turning off and I had no way to turn it back on. I didn’t even have a fix now button. I tried going online to get customer service, but I use firefox and they want you to have internet explorer to chat. Sorry, not doing that. I tried to email them, but instead it would change the screen and say I need to talk to someone on chat. I couldn’t email anyone a simple question! I looked for a phone number and noticed that now you have to pay $10 just to talk to someone in India. Uh, sorry, no! I never paid in the past. I went all over trying to figure out what the hell was wrong and finally decided to uninstall and reinstall. Also a big mistake.

Upon reinstalling, everything looks like it’s going well, but it isn’t. The program wants a file from my computer that is missing and the path to get there is listed in a separate window, but when I click “OK” it shows another window transferring the file, but it’s frozen. Nothing I do works and I can’t find the file on my computer when I search for it myself. So now, I renewed my subscription about 2 months ago so that I could waste the money I don’t have because I don’t currently have a job. AND I lost the antivirus protection that I had that worked fine. You cannot get tech support for this software anymore- you get forced into going around in circles. If they are going to give you a free upgrade, they should at least not screw you over with it and then make it impossible to contact them about it. I downloaded free AVG and my computer is faster and protected. I suggest you do the same.

5 Stars norton

If you don’t want to pay full price, you can always buy a year old copy and use the install code to get the latest version.
