 Incredibly Slow December 7, 2007

Norton Internet Security 2008 is a resource hog. It slowed my 2-year-old computer with 1GB RAM so much that it became unusable. My only option was to remove it. You cannot choose to install just part of it (like Antivirus) -- so I will return it to Amazon for a refund. I've used Norton products for more than 10 years, but I'll find an alternative for 2008. Don't buy it.
if there was an option for no stars that is what I would have chose December 10, 2007

once you load norton your computer experience will never be the same. gone will be the days of simply starting your pc and browsing the internet. once you load norton it will take 5 to 10 minutes for your pc to boot, norton will download updates and require reboots almost daily, it will do its system scan for viruses only when you are using your pc. if you buy this product never turn your pc off, the reboot just takes too long. if you but this product say good bye to your pc, norton will own it

[Norton SystemWorks 2008 ]
I've used previous versions of Symantec/Norton Internet Security-Antivirus and as they try to do more and more, it works less and less well. The 2008 version will bring your PC to a dead stop several times a day while it checks in with the mother ship for updates. And no, it does not help even to turn off the auto updates. LuCallBack.exe will launch come heck or high water and this will stall your PC for about 30-45 seconds. The ONLY way to stop this is to block the application from having access to the internet ("end process" is not allowed). That command is buried several layers into the options and so in order to update the virus list daily you have to go down thru the menu, check allow, run updates, and then go back down and turn allow off. What a pain! After 3 mths (1 mth after refunds are allowed) I gave up and uninstalled Norton. Now using Micro Trends and my PC is running much faster, and gee, they even allow you to PAUSE an update if it is running at an inconvenient time. What a concept!
 Best security suite of 2008 October 8, 2007

My pc repair class has been reviewing 2008 Security Suites and NIS 2008 is the best. I decided to review Norton because I have hated Norton since the 2004 version. I had the AVG Suite on my computer, but the license was going to end so I decided to purchase NIS 2008 after reading the PCMag review. I installed NIS 2008 about a week ago. So far I have had some problems but none that were big. The install went very well and the startup scan found 3 viruses that AVG missed and found every other virus and spyware that I put on the machine. This version of Norton does not slow down the computer as much as the 2004-2006 versions did. The scans are very fast and detailed. I like the fact that there is an option that stops the pop ups from the firewall and lets Norton think for itself. But like I said before I had 2 problems.
The first problem was that the phishing protection didn't work when the crimeware protection was on. I chatted with Norton support for about 5 minutes and they solved the problem. The only bad thing about the support team is that they don't know a lot about the computer. Even so that doesn't seem to stop them from fixing the problems.
The second problem I had was the scheduled scans wouldn't run. I talked to several (4-6) tech people for about 3 hours and no one could solve the problem. When I talked to the last person he stated that the time in the scheduler was off and so was the date. He fixed it and now its fine.
Norton...what a waste December 30, 2007

I've had Norton Antivirus for just over a year (purchased 15 months with a new computer). In all that time the most it ever detected were tracking cookies. I often wondered if it was doing anything or not. Two days ago I got an answer...NOT. Not only did Norton not prevent my computer from becoming infected with some horrible spyware that has been infecting computers for several months now (I've researched it on the internet), I had to go through 3 layers of support before they told me what I already knew. MY COMPUTER IS INFECTED.
One clueless tech after another escalated my problem to the subsupreme tech that dropped large amounts of pretyped text into the chat window that boiled down to "Your computer is infected. We'll fix it $99.95"
If you have Norton, know this...Your computer is NOT protected!
