I've been using Norton Antivirus for years. It's always done a great job. I just installed the 2007 version. AAAAHHHHH! The browser is so slow it's not usable. Never again! Now I need to find a product I can trust again. Just my opinion but you may find it helpful.
Don't buy version 2007 .. not compatible with other programs October 24, 2006

I purchased Norton Antivirus 2007 as I have been using Norton for years. But I have to say that Symantec has been going down hill fast since the sell out by Barry Greenstein. And Norton Antivirus 2007 never got installed on my computer after buying it here.
When I went to install it, a screen came up saying I HAD to uninstall Spy Sweeper and Zonealarm before installing Norton as the programs are not compatible.
Well I don't use Spy Sweeper all that much, so that was okay, but I likes Zonealarm and wanted to keep it. When I went to Symantec tech support, all they would tell me is I could not run Norton 2007 with Zonealarm and I should return it for a refund and then go buy the suite with Norton's Internet Security. That is "BS" if you know what I mean!!!
Not compatible with Zone Alarm or Spysweeper October 24, 2006

This version of NAV will NOT INSTALL if you have ZoneAlarm or Spysweeper on your computer. The install routine says they are incompatible. Symantec does not reveal this on the box and you only find out after you have purchased and are trying to install. I wonder if NAV 2007 is truly incompatible with these products, or if Symantec is trying this as a competition tactic. Anyway, if you prefer to keep your best of breed products such as the Zone Alarm firewall and Spysweeper antispyware, you must choose some other antivirus package.
Don't buy it! May 24, 2007

I own a computer repair business, and I get a kick out of scanning virus-infected computers that have Norton Anti-virus/Internet Security on it. If you think the program is doing its job, and finding all of the bad stuff, think again! It doesn't find a tenth of the stuff on your computer, and is also a resource hog (much like its Internet Security cousin) that slows down some computers to the brink of crashing. Don't waste your money! There are free programs that can find a lot more stuff than this junk can.
Run, don't walk away from this bloated resource hogging pig! January 4, 2007

Recently, I have experienced SEVERE slowing down of my computer - hanging up when trying to shut it down, and prolonged start up times ALL of which were cured when I finally figured out the problem and removed this bloated software off my computer.
I'm not a software designer or a computer expert but am reasonably adept and skilled on the computer and can for the most part fix nearly every problem I encounter. I don't understand exactly WHY removing Norton solved my problems but I can tell you this: My computer has NEVER run so well and with so few problems. No crashes, no hanging up on shut down or start up, and lightening quick responsiveness once again.
The problems caused by this Norton program flummoxed until I finally isolated Norton as the culprit. I googled my multitude of problems and found that several people were have the same sorts of problems and identified Norton as the root cause. At first I rejected out of hand that a company as legendary and well regarded as Norton could be at the root of my problems, but decided out of frustration to delete the program and see how it impacted the multiple problems I was having.
Low and behold my problems miraculously vanished! I couldn't believe it! My daughter who had problems on start up worse than mine balked too at removing this program from her laptop but also discovered that the removal of Norton solved HER problems as well.
The new interface, to my way of thinking, is not as good as prior versions. Installation itself can be an adventure in frustration as it was for me. Worse, taking the damn thing off presents unique problems as well.
I told one of my friends what I'd discovered and he too deleted the program only to see all of his multiple problems disappear! He told me that he simply couldn't believe how good his computer was once again functioning. My uncle called me yesterday. He resisted taking Norton off his computer because he thought I was exaggerating the problems caused by Norton. He finally took Norton off when another of his friends told him the same thing. He told me he should have acted sooner thereby saving him all sorts of problems and heartaches.
I've replaced Norton Antivirus with Trend Micro's PC-Cillin and Zone Alarm both of which are highly regarded. Other highly regarded antivirus programs that are NOT resource hogs and do not cause the multitude of problems caused by this bloated pig of a software program are AVG antivirus from Grissoft and Avast! antivirus - both work great.
If you are having unexplained problems with your computer that your anti-virus program and spyware programs are not solving and if you have this bloated pig of a program on your computer then you need to delete it.
Norton is busy destroying its franchise. I will not put ANY Symantec software on my computer. They are quirky, resource hogging, intrusive garbage which are nearly impossible to completely uninstall from your computer. Don't forget: the best way to install any Norton product is to skip it altogether.
BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! BEWARE!! You have been warned.
