 Bad for for your hard drive. pocket and sanity September 8, 2008

I made the mistake of trying to upgrade on line for this. The end result was needing to have my hard drive wiped and starting all over again. The software tells you it needs to uninstal the existing software before installing this. What it actually did was a fragmented uninstal that left bits of the prior version floating around running when it felt like it with no way to access and turn it off. Norton seemed helpful at first sending me a programme to clean up. This made the situation even worse. Oh and I had a virus come through with this rubbish. Norton then completely lost interest. I was now asking for my money back as this simply does not work. Norton now stopped replying to all forms of contact. Later they did try on sending renewal notifications for my older version that had been extracted only by wiping the hard disc. Maybe the disc might work but then they can not be trusted around updates as I have expensively found out. Norton really do not want to know, they have your money and well insert your own words.......

I 'upgraded' to this from Norton Personal Firewall. Have now uninstalled Norton Internet Security as had trouble with pop-ups ever since installing it. The old Firewall does the job and no more ads! I understand Norton have discontinued the Ad blocking. Why??
Wouldn't recommend this priduct - waste of money.

I have used Norton for many years, but this version has convinced me I will never use them again. The problems started two days after installing the new version. The software said the licence key had expired. After numerous calls to get through to support, I eventually succeeded and was told that I needed to uninstall, change the computer clock back 1 month and re install. This "fix" seemed to work. A few weeks later, with my new machine apparently working well, I decided to copy all my data from an old machine onto the new machine with Norton. So I put in the hard drive, and Norton claimed the licence had again expired. Connecting to the Norton site the key seemed to be successfully recovered. After copying all my data I removed the old hard drive, and again Norton claimed the licence had expired. This time it failed to recover.
After hours of trying, I eventually got through to Norton support and was told I had installed the software on at least three machines according to their records, and they were unwilling to discuss further. They suggested I was guilty of software theft. My only option, according to them, was to buy a new copy of Norton, and then they would help me with any installation issues.
Of course, I did have another option. And that is to take my business elsewhere.
So beware of offers that seem to imply you are getting a "deal" with any 3 user license.

A trial version of Norton was installed on my Acer laptop when I bought it. I decided to change to McAfee since I already owned a copy, but it kept crashing due to McAfee's 'Hackerwatch'. I bought a copy of Norton and it has installed like a dream and is working perfectly. No going back to McAfee for me!
So glad I removed it! August 8, 2008

I had this software installed on my laptop and after many suggestions from my friends I removed it and installed McAfee. So glad I did that! The laptop is so much faster now and McAfee is not obtrusive at all as Norton is. I would not install it again even if given for free.
NB. My version of McAfee does not have a firewall though (as opposed to Norton) so I am relying on Vista for that! so far so good
