Bad experience

Rating: - Toy

I had a bad experience with Norton 2004 Security. No place to get help and nothing would work. MicroTrend also loss of money. I just got McAfee that came with Comcast and it works fine. The use of the two above can mess up your computer.

Norton=Terrible

Ok Norton is a program that flat out robs all of you virtual memory off of your computer without letting you know it though it does have the best protection over any program in the world it does not allow you to use your computer at a reasonable pace. So I suggest Zone Alarm Pro very easy peice of software and can be found at their web site im currently using it myself and it has a gaming mode letting you not have a slow computer. Also it asks about everything that is happening on your computer anytime something is accessing your network at the bottom right hand side of the screen it shows what it has done or if you want to allow it to access your computer. (does not happen in game mode) overall it beats norton 10-1. and it has the best control of any other antivirus antispy and all other protection i have ever seen.

Good luck ever getting this POS off your computer. It is like a virus that it supposedly protects you from. Nothing at all has worked in removing this invasive weed from my computer.

Drags the computer to a crawl

Rating: - Doug

This is the most abusive program i have ever installed on my computer. You would think in 2006 after this much time that Symantec could figure it out. Even files that have already been virus checked with no changes are virus checked again and again everytime you open it. I deleted this product. Waste of money.

SLOW COMPUTER

Rating: - Ultramarine

I have just bought and paid for (this morning), Norton antivirus. I did use Trend PC-Cillin which was fine.
This morning my computer was working fine. Now it stops and start, and is VERY slow.
Also it keeps finding intrusive progs trying to invade my PC. Nyet (No) They are not there. 20 times today, I get message, caught and cured this that or the other. This is crap. I go to Norton Site, No facility that I can find to contact them. No Phone number.
Well, anyone else suffering like this?
I am happy really, Just got married. TV YORL.

Norton bogging down O/S

Rating: - Danny

Wouldn't recommend it at all. Annoys you with warnings about your O/S (tells you to update windows) this wouldn't be an issue with a legit copy of windows but lets face it, 9/10 copies of windows are illegal. Also has at least 5 processes running at any one time, interferes with everyting, updates and bogs down your computer and generally seem to slow down and interfere with everything.
I installed it a few months ago, it was OK at first but gradually got worse and worse.
My advice; uninstall and download AVG and Zonealarm for nothing. I did and its like I cut a ball and chain off my computer.

I've used norton internet security 2005 and recently upgraded to the 2006 version. It had caught about 3 virus' and the firewall never said anything about hack attepts. the whole product had been going good but after weeks of downloading updates the whole program got bigger and bigger causing my system to slow down to a very poor state. system start ups took nearly 5 minutes and the shutdown would take about 10 minutes. After getting impaitient with this program I uninstalled it before my computer would become too slow to even use anything, and although its gone, my computer stills is a little sluggish.

It's a very good program, but it slows down too much and it screws up too many times.

if they had zero, i would give it to them.
