Summary: Mediocre Software
Comment: I am looking into what works and don't know if one exists. I read all the reviews for McAfee and find a hord of horror stories and I thought Norton stank. I am not super computer savy but know when a products stinks! It locks up my computer all the time, constant rebooting of my poor old dinosaur(Windows 98 OS). I have always had Norton and encountered a few minor glitches but every year it gets worse and last year was the first year I couldn't go any higher than NAV 2005 because NAV 2006 is not compatible with Win98 operating system. I was also upset that I couldn't buy the CD to reinstall it if I had problems as I did in the past when I would have to uninstall and reinstall it several times before getting it right...well sort of right. It had to be all done online through Norton's website...not to mention that you don't want to make these guys any richer by calling and paying for tech support.
Also, I have a big gripe when updating the installation online and doing it 2 or 3 weeks early, you get cheated out of those days or weeks because it starts calculating your subscription from the time you installed it. It used to add in the days or weeks you still had left on your old subscription. Just another way to cheat you these days I guess.
The one thing that has helped me keep things running a little smoother and was the only thing that fixed my initial installation of Norton, (which was causing an ungodly amount of problems and wouldn't install) was a little program I paid a pretty penny for called "PC Mighty Max" which fixes all kinds of errors and aparently did the trick and allowed the installation of Norton...finally! What can I use on my Dinosaur OS? I don't know what I'll try now? My Norton Subscription runs out in January and I am perplexed? Do I Risk a virus? Risk stealing of my passwords or lord knows what else? I guess, but Norton doesn't seem to be the answer for Antivirus without it's many many problems. If you can get the stupid thing installed in the first place. If you like problems and headaches Norton's the way to go!

Summary: NIS is now the problem, not the solution
Comment: I have used Symantec and Norton products for years with good success. But Norton Intenet Security is a disaster. Unexpectedly, after a long period of problem free operation, I encountered a series of problems on my computer. E-mail would not work. Ping URL locked up (but Ping IP worked OK). Microsoft task manager would not stop non-responsive tasks, plus several other problems. After paying Microsoft to help diagnose, it turned out that the culprit was NIS2005. Turn firewall off and everything works fine. There is no effective support from Symantec without paying half again for the product. Now a new problem has surfaced. NIS is asking to activate the software again (it was activated when purchased). The web says that there are all sorts of unrecoverable problems with NIS activation, and I can't afford to spend another day with more problems. Originally, Symantec was a good company, but I think they have lost it.

Summary: Online Activation?????
Comment: Let me start by saying that I have pretty much always used Norton software for computer safety and have not been disappointed, and that is the only reason that It gets 2 stars (more like 1 1/2) since I am sure that it works just as well as their other products. Also, I am a college student and can seldom to afford to purchase either new versions or subscription fees that Norton seems to enjoy doing these days. I figured that I would just bite the bullet this year since it has been at least 3 years since I have upgraded any of the older packages that I own.
With that all being said allow me to explain why I gave it the rating that I have. I originally purchased this at another store in town and returned it immediately once I saw that there was a manditory online activation. That just insults my intelligence and loyalty to the company and refuse to support companies that have that policy. The best way to keep companies from telling you what you can do with something that you have purchased from them is to just not purchase them at all! If any of you have a similar gripe that I do not recommend purchasing this product. There are other software packages that are either free or do not have similar policies as Symmatic that can be found. I feel that I am going to do as soon as I am done writing this review!!
