"8-months of Great Experiences ( Unlike Most Others)", Unlike everyone else on Amazon.com I've thankfully (knock on desk) only had good experiences with both Norton Personal Firewall 2004 & Noron AntiVirus 2004.

It does take PERSISTANCE to train the Firewall properly and to get comfortable with the IE security and Cookie settings, but after about 2 weeks of teaching the software its been gravy... and I thankfully haven't had any major intrusions, file corruptions or viruses that I'm aware of in the past 8-months.

Downloading updates is seamless, I don't have memory hog issues on my AMD 3200+ w/512 MB Ram, Windows XP SP2 and my high speed DSL connection that's always on. I've turned off Symantec's Popup Blocker and configured the built in one with XP SP2. I set IE to prompt each time a website asks to install cookies. I've set the Firewall security setting to "High-Block Everything Until I approve it". Other than that, I manage Java Applet & Active X security within IE. I did try setting these to "Medium - ask me each time" and it worked as well. Really, the first 2-weeks in which you visit most of your key banking, finance, news, gaming and other websites is the important period which REQUIRES PATIENCE. The trick again is teaching the firewall which sites you approve and which you don't. According to various studies, the average internet user spends 80% of their online time on less than 10 websites. After the first 2-weeks, its the 20% you just have to teach yourself and other users of your computer to be smart about.

If you're not very comfortable with computers and are only a basic user of e-mail, news & regular websites... this is a great program as long as you have a techno-savvy son/daughter, friend or colleague who can help you set it up the first time. If you're a pretty advanced technology buff you'll appreciate the integrated management console between all Norton Programs and will like most of the features. Overall.. it's 4 stars in my book.

"Windows 95 and NT are not supported....read the directions!", Read the directions. Read the "before installation" page to prepare your computer. If you installed this in windows 95 or NT or if you didn't disable the Windows XP firewall first you need to go to control panel and add or remove programs and remove Norton Firewall 2004. It doesn't support Windows 95 or NT. Now follow the rest of the directions and include the product key. If you don't follow the directions, don't expect success with software.



"Doesn't work", I upgraded from Norton Personal Firewall 2003, which was working fine. Now I cannot access the Internet without disabling my firewall.

Zone Alarm is free, and Windows XP comes with a firewall. I'm tired of having my computer corrupted by Norton Utilities and my Internet disabled by Norton Personal Firewall. I will not purchase any more Symantec products.

"Why did you do it - Norton?", Recently bought new computer preloaded with Personal Firewall 2003 - had problems accessing some website features but was able to fix following excellent advice from ATT. Received message from Symantec saying my version should be upgraded to 2004 version - BIG mistake - cannot access ANY website (including Symantec) with Firewall enabled - no matter what! - no advice available from Symantec website (unless I pay $29.95 per call) - very unprofessional< Symantec - expected much better from you. Hope I can uninstall. Star rating - minus two.

"Very difficult to install", Bad uninstalls of previous Norton products can cause this one to hang and not install. No customer support (they promise to email you in 3-5 days.....). No easy was to self-troubleshoot the problem (even though there are lots potential causes listed on the Customer Support web site).
I've used and recommended Norton products for ten years, and will now switch to another brand. This was obviously released before it was fully developed.

"Norton Firewall 2004 Causing More Stress Than Its Worth", After having such a great experience with Nortion Antivirus over the last several years, I just assumed that Norton would have a good firewall program too. I was wrong. First and most irritating, my computer became extremely slow on start up after installing the program (adding about 4 - 5 minutes!), despite having a new computer with more than enough drive space and RAM. I removed the program for awhile and regained normal start up speed. Second, the popup warnings are a mixed benefit. While it does block some obviously bad attempts to access my computer, I sometimes have to tell it 10 or 15 times within a few minutes to allow access from permissable sources even though I am clicking "always allow" access from this source. Third, the privacy blocker seems like a good idea (you enter in your private info that you do not want sent over the computer such as your home address, phone, etc), but I had to turn that feature off when I tried to make a purchase on-line DESPITE clicking "ALLOW" about 20 times. The warning window repeatedly popped up every time I clicked allow. The program just didn't get it. I keep checking the Norton website for patches, but to date there are none. Today I was so fed up with the slow start up that I removed the program again. So much for my $50.00... I say it's worth about $5.00

"norton nightmare", After 5 faithfull years of norton i gave this load of stress one star,as it installed flawlessly thats about all i can say thats positive really.The program is not user friendly in any way shape or form,"does anyone know what all these numbers mean", program control popup alerts are a pain in the a-se,they ask you to make a decision to allow or not but dont tell you what they are, its just way too clever for me! and with no way to disable them its annoying, also in this day of privacy it keeps way to many logs. I suppose its a pity i registered it so i cant sell the over-complicated load of cr-p,"good job i got it cheap" im just going to sling it in the the bin and buy z-alarm pro. DUH

"Quirky, but it works", I haven't had experiences quite as bad as other customers have had. The software seems to work well enough, and the Symantec Automatic LiveUpdate works flawlessly. One thing I don't like: every time I turn on my computer, the software pushes the Internet Explorer Dialup Connection window "front and center", and I haven't yet found a way to simply cancel it or prevent it from popping up automatically. It stays put until I go online. (I know that NPF is causing this. I had to do a reinstallation, and the problem stopped when I uninstalled it.)

NPF's not bad, but I'll be looking for alternatives in the future.

"Buy a router instead of a firewall. It's worth the money.", After having a hacker leave a virus on my computer, I finally decided I need some protection. I went back and forth between getting a firewall or a router. Routers were pricier, so I looked at reviews for firewall software. If you look too, you'll notice none of them on Amazon get fantastic reviews. They have some serious potential to screw up your system. I figured that I have Norton AntiVirus, so their firewall should work fine. Plus, I get a discount since I have another product of theirs. I bought and installed it. Once that was done, I realized that to get the discount I need proof that I own the earlier product. Good luck getting proof of ownership from a downloaded product. I'm pretty sure that's a dead end.

Like many others, though, it really screwed up my system. I get 5 - 10 error screens I have to Enter through when booting up, nothing is loaded in my system tray, peripherals can't be found, and it hangs on shutdown. Oh, and the firewall program says it is disabled. Why? Who knows. But when I go to enable it it says that I don't have the necessary rights/priviledges etc. to do so. I'm the only user on the computer. How can that be? Again, who knows. Maybe Symantec, but I ain't paying $30 to call them.

The best part to this whole thing is that the hacker who originally acessed my system didn't really do any damage. I had to pay 50 bucks for my "protection" to really screw me over.

Thanks, Symantec. Get bent.

"Norton Personal Firewall 2004", I'm using Windows 98 SE and have run Norton antivirus 2000 for several years and was very happy. Then a very dark cloud appeared - it was called Norton Personal Firewall 2004. I had to clean my hard drive for other reasons and when I reloaded everything I decided to get rid of my old firewall, Black Ice and install Norton's new Firewall 2004. After I reloaded everything and got back up running the computer speed gradually became slower and slower until it virtually stopped. After discussion with several experts I decided to uninstall both the 2000 and 2004 Norton versions. I did reinstall Nortons Antivirus 2000 and got a new firewall, Zone Alarm. The computer runs just fine. I am not a computer expert, but it seems to me that Nortons Firewall 2004 did something very naughty to my computer, and my blood pressure. I would not recommend Norton's Personal Firewall 2004 to my enemies.
