 Stuck with traditionApr 13, 2008
I have been using Norton Antivirus forever and am reluctant to move on although I've read reviews of other products that put Norton in the middle of the pack.
 Slows Computer Responses ConsiderablyMar 03, 2008
I bought this product brand new from Amazon, and at first I did not think there was a problem after installing. We live in a rural area, and sometimes service is slow - even with high speed. Then I thought my memory was full, and deleted a lot of temporary files etc as suggested. Still super slow, and getting slower all the time. A lot of times the mouse would not respond to the touch pad (Dell Inspiron 6000 - one year old) and could not even work off line with out super lag times. Computer had to be shut down every day or it would be almost impossible to get any response, and even if it was shut down correctly and started again, the response time was so very, very, very slow.....very frustrating to try and get work done. And finally, I decided to delete this program......and today - WOW!!! - my computer is back to it's old lickety split reaction times and I am able to get my work done in a timely manner. I wish I had listened to the reviews, and had not purchased this product. I will not reinstall, and will be VERY leery of any NIS products in the future. And I learned something.....the reviews really do help, so I will pay a lot closer attention to them in the future. I would have given this product a minus 2 star rating, but I could not figure out how to do that. :) Thanks for offering reviews Amazon!
Uninstalled with 600+ days remaining on licenseDec 16, 2007
I went with a 2 year subscription because they forced me to upgrade (no updates to old version) and because I didn't want to deal with it yearly. Mistake.
It is a memory hog. After running a virus scan, you better reboot because otherwise your other programs will be extremely slow. I dealt with that by only virus scanning monthly.
I finally got so frustrated, though, with an error constantly saying my virus protection was not on. The Fix Now button forced a LiveUpdate which completes but never fixes the problem. Even uninstalling everything and reinstalling (twice) did nothing to help it. And with that virus protection failing, my Outlook program wouldn't let in new email and Internet Explorer would fail (but Mozilla Firefox worked fine).
I am off to try McAfee which works fine on my work laptop. I am glad I no longer own any SYMC stock...
Norton Internet Security 2007 for 3 PCOct 05, 2007
I have been using Norton software for more than 10 years and I had no problem until I bought this product which is sold as 1 Year protection for up to 3 PC. After I installed on the first PC I tried to install on the second PC. Unfortunately it did not work at all and disabled all the programs I had on this PC. I had a very hard time to Uninstall it. Then I contacted Symantec technical support from the first computer and the advice I got was usless. I reinstalled the program on the second computer and this time I got the message that my subscription is expired ( I activated the product OCt. 01, 07), and the antivirus and web protection could not be turn on - so no wirus protection. (My computers OS - Win Xp Pro.) I would not try to install on the laptop after what I experienced with installation on the second PC.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT if you do not wont to get a severe headache.
I will stay away from Symantec product from now on.

Not RecommendedSep 14, 2007
This is based on my experience with Norton Internet Security 2002.
(1) Technical support may as well be nonexistent. Technical and customer support representatives repeatedly refused to reply to E-mails asking for help with a problem that a Live Update created. Their managers refused to answer faxes. The problem was finally fixed several weeks later by another Live Update.
(2) I was unable to buy virus definition updates after 2006. Symantec told me I'd have to buy a new edition of their software to get the updates, so I subscribed to Frisk F-prot instead. (Same price for annual virus subscriptions, and it has given me good service for 1.5 years.)
(3) I cannot uninstall the Symantec antivirus scanner from my computer. If I disable the Registry keys, it jams Word for Windows and everything else that calls for virus scans.
(4) Five years ago, I was an advocate for Symantec products. Now I consider it an obligation to warn other customers off.
My experience with Symantec is that its software is of very poor quality, and that the company has nothing but contempt for its customers.
