"Norton is a Major Disaster"
I bought Norton System Works and Fire Wall.
It is a DISASTER.
It does not install.
After a partial install it will not re-install.
Finally it did somehow and told me that my virus definition expired already--after 5 minutes?????
Wrote many email to so called technical support...they tell you to look at the "knowledge Base"
Nonsense!
There is no technical support.
No telephone to call (Unless you pay $29.99 per call)
They should not be in business period.
If Best Buy will not refund my money I will dispute it with the credit card company.
Beware all of you from buying ANY Symantec product.
Yes, many years ago Norton Utilities was good now it shamefully bad.
Sincerely,
Mordecai Shehori
PS Who will compensate me for all the hours I wasted trying to make it work? and by the way I am very good with computers.

"GOOD FOR SLOWING COMPUTERS NOTHING ELSE"
I have used Norton Internet Security for some years, I have found that it slows your computer down and some times causes it to crash. The worst thing of all i have found is that it does not stop all virus, worms or anthing else. If it does find them it can not always get rid of them. I have down loaded software off the internet for free and found that it does a better job. So if you are thinking of buying Norton Internet Security all i can say is don't there is better software out there for free. I won't be buying another symantec product again.

"Norton Personal Firewall 2006"
Purchased the 2006 firewall.
Product installed easily
Product will only recognize Norton Anti-Virus.
If you wish to use another brand this will cause an error to be registered on your firewall. Called their help line. they first told me to remove my anti-virus because it was a combo package.
It is not a combo. Second call they told me in very poor english that they only recognize their own product for and anti-virus. Be carefull with this product. It can be a big waste of time and money.

"Norton 2006 is a Disaster"
Beware Norton 2006. I have used Norton Antivirus (and more recently Internet Security Suite) for at least 5 or 6 years. I needed to renew my Norton 2005 subscription recently, so I downloaded an upgrade to NIS 2006, paid by credit card, and started the install. Huge mistake...I should have done some internet research first. Bottom line, the installation never worked, uninstall never worked, and worse, it corrupted my registry. Finally I was forced to reinstall Windows XP and all of my major applications that write to the registry, a lengthy and frustrating process. I had tried every trick and workaround I new of or could find on the web, and I am not a novice on computer hardware and software. I then contacted Norton for a refund, followed their instructions on how to apply for it, and got no response whatsoever. After a month of repeated attempts, I then contacted my credit card company, who refunded my purchase price. As far as I know the credit card company is still battling with Norton. Norton used to be tops, but has slipped on software quality and customer service to the point that I would never recommend them until there is some serious reform. The F-Secure suite I am now running has worked perfectly from the outset, so I will probably never go back.

"Please listen to others' bad experience: NPF 2006 WILL PISSES YOU OFF"
I talked to a friend of mine about Norton Fierwall and he told me not to install it, it will slow down your computer. I didn't listen. Why? I had read those favored reviews from pros (!?) that this is the best fierwall. Well this is the worst firewall and the worst software I've ever experienced. Please listen people, you'll regret it if you won't.
This crappy software has crashed several times on my computer. It freezes and you can do nothing but unplug your computer!!! Yes, unplug your computer is the only way to unfreez it, I hate it. It blocks internet explorer and when I open it and click on configure in Fierwall tab then click the Programs tab and try to change the settings for internet explorer, it freezes and Windows XP can't close it by End Now command. You'll have to unplug the computer. Another irritation is that it tells you a remote system is trying to access your computer; you say "Block Always"; it says a remote system is trying to access your computer; you say "Block Always"; it says a remote system is trying to access your computer; you say "Block Always"; it goes on and on and on...It doesn't understand what 'Always' mean. Yet another one: your computer gets extremely slowed down, I mean unreasonably, awefully.

Solution? UNINSTALL IT. Get ZoneAlarm basic firewall for free which is much much better. Thank God I didn't pay retail price for this ugly pissware. I will never go back to any Norton product ever.
