Symantec Norton Internet Security 2004

When I bought my wife a new laptop (Packard Bell easynote) just over a year ago it came with the Symantec Norton Internet Security package already installed and with a year's antivirus signatures subscription already paid for. I must admit that I had had the impression that this was a good product and, indeed, a number of companies with whom I work use their antivirus product at a corporate level, across their networks. Sure enough, throughout the entire year that she had been using it she had never had any problems and updates had been regularly delivered and installed. I felt that her machine was being well protected, important from my point of view as it ...  Read the complete review

After battling for years with the viruses, spy ware, ad ware and the occasional premium rate diallers the final straw came when I received a bill for over £100 ($130). I decided it was time i got rid of my freeware anti-virus protection and found the cash to protect myself. The package seemed perfect, anti-virus protection, a personal firewall and intrusion detector, privacy control, ad blocking and live update ? this really was the complete package. The antivirus protection was excellent, and since installing the package I have received regular updates through the built in automatic updating program, but perhaps more importantly I have not received ...  Read the complete review

I have been using Norton programs for a good few years now. And everytime a new edition comes out, they get worse. I first started using Norton Anti-virus in 2001, on a relatively fast computer back then. The program was fine, loaded up not too quicky but gave quite good protection and regular updates were easily downloaded (even on a dial up connection) and installed. It was when I got a broadband connection at home when I decided that I required a firewall. So I browsed the internet looking for one. I got Norton personal firewall 2002 in the end, as I had a decent experience with the antivirus. Everything worked fine, slowed down the startup and overall running ...  Read the complete review

Where can I start with this absolute mock of software. Now I spend at least 40 hours a week on the WWW so I know what I am talking about when I rate any internet software. I won't mension any names but I was using A FREE anti virus along side a decent FIREWALL which I really recommend (Zone Alarm,Check EBAY). Anyway with these two programs working along sided each other My PC was running BRILLIANT. Not a bit of trouble for months. Now there wouldn't have been any trouble at all if I didn't decide to use This terrible package. There are too many virus's out there for this ridiculous effort at an anti-virus. It's nothing personal, its just not up ...  Read the complete review

As regards to the reviews by Jonnyho, and anthony horricks, I must agree with their views and their solutions. I first came into contact with Norton Internet Security two years ago when I brought my computer, it came free with it, at first all was fine, but when I paid to download the latest version, that was when the problems started, computer slowing down software not working properly, I had a lot of problems with hackers, and the computer was constantly playing up, and I was having problems trying to apply the security, then a family member suggested Norton was the source of my problems, and suggested using the free programs on the net I found one I like, ...  Read the complete review
