Don't Bother Purchasing. Renew Your Existing Subscriptions Instead. April 15, 2007

My subscription for 2006 was up and I needed to renew - since I just reinstalled Windows XP Professional (SP2) on my laptop (a Dell Inspiron 9300, Intel Pentium M 2GHz, 512MB RAM, 60GB Hard Disk), I decided to simply purchase the 360.
I have been having issues with the Live Update for several weeks now (Error 5). Instead I have to download a 15 MB file ever so often with the updated definitions.
After checking the technical support website, it appears that Norton is aware of the problem and is currently working on it. That was just about two weeks ago. Customer support is non-existent it appears since I have yet to be contacted.
Complete waste of time. Renew your existing subscriptions instead. I wish that I had.
2007-06-22: Just to update what I said earlier - I am now being prompted every day to reinstall the product. Even after I did it. There were no problems during installation or anything. Really annoying. And if I don't do it, I am not protected by any threats. So I need to use my other computers to do online transactions. Ridiculous. I'd give it 0 stars.
 Worse than a virus April 18, 2007

As an IT professional I would strongly recommend against installing Norton 360 on your computer. I have been a big fan of Norton Security for years and I have it installed on all my home computers for years. After installing Norton 360, it erased most of my security settings and my computer continiusly crashed. It messed up on of my home computers to the point that not only it would crash several times a day, but I couldn't even use System Restore to recover my computer and I was forced to rebuild the system from scratch.
Don't believe the promise to install it easily on 3 computers either. Symantec makes as difficult as possible for you to download the software and isntall it.
I am ready to switch to McAfee.
Norton continues to aggravate June 11, 2007

For years, it was a regular occurrence to hear support techs tell me to disable Norton Anti-virus in order to work my way around a crash or malfunction. Unfortunately, it was the only thing besides Microsoft's pathetic offering that was available for Vista, and based on a glowing review from PC Magazine, I took the plunge.
As I write, I'm looking at the 360 icon in the taskbar, with it's ominous red x and the tooltip telling me that there are 6 unresolved issues. I don't want it to defrag my disks, ever, but I haven't been able to figure out how to tell it that without getting the warning. The main interface won't open, no matter how I click on the icon.
After weeks of being unable to get Live Update to work properly, a support tech told me to run the uninstall tool and re-install the program. This caused Windows Vista to crash and I spent about 6 hours fiddling with the Windows repair utility to get it to reboot. When I did finally reboot, the problem wasn't resolved and the support tech, with aplomb, advised me to re-run the uninstall tool, unfazed by my previous experience.
Live Update is failing on my other installation, but I'm afraid to try to fix it.
I'm sorry I got back in bed with Symantec.
Major Problems June 15, 2007

I had had prior Norton products on this computer with OK results. After I installed Norton 360 headaches started--freezing and crashing on the internet and desktop programs as well. Finally my computer was almost unusable. My computer revived after I uninstalled it: it works fine.
360 WAS A JOKE July 14, 2007

This program only gave me problem after problem.. When I wanted to open a web page, say to pay a bill, the program said my bank web was a virus and would not let me access it. Yes, not able to get on my bank's web page to pay a bill. I had to delete the program from my computer, then restart it to be able to access the web page. Over and Over!!! I kept e-mailing the support, and they said they are working on the problem. When will I be able to get to the imporant web pages? That is why I have a Computer!!
This program was nothing but a problem. Don't waste your MONEY!
