 Watch the Fine Print July 12, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Norton has started to use an automatic renewal system with its products.
If you don't want it, you have to jump through hoops to cancel it (they don't make it easy). If you never signed up for the autorenewal but have an account with them, they decided on thier own to sign you up for it.
The product was ok however, I discovered that it didn't stop or detect all the spyware. I ran Norton Virus/Spyware check at the same time as running a competitors. The Competitors identified and cleaned more than norton.
I do like thier system works and would give it a 5 star rating but this tatic of forcing you into an autorenewal system shows, in my opinion, how low norton has gotton. If the product is good, consumers would renew on thier own and at least should be given the option of joining or not joining an auto renewal program.
So read the fine print.

With the wide variety of Anti virus software and the ease of loading and using other formats I was hesitant to once again purchase the "white elephant", but I was very pleasantly suprised at how fast the program operates now and the recent changes to the startup are excellent. If it keeps working as well as it is out of the box I will stick with Norton for the Internet Suite in the future.
New lease on life by getting rid of this slug June 25, 2008

I replaced Norton Internet Security a couple of days ago with Zone Alarm, because my system contracted a stealth mailer. The only indication of a problem was that the Norton Email Proxy was getting some errors because some servers were rejecting the emails. The antivirus and spyware components of Norton indicated no problem whatsoever; perfectly clean scans. I installed Zone alarm, which immediately fixed the problem and also warned me that another application was trying to send emails.
I was getting to the point that I thought I was going to have to upgrade or replace my 3 year old desktop and laptop because of the slow speed, but when I replaced Norton with Zone alarm, both systems are now running, I estimate, at 5 to 10 times faster than before. This has given a new lease on life to these systems and I should be able to use them for at least a couple of years more. Norton Internet Suite is a boat anchor that drags sytems practically to a crawl. I have no particular interest in promoting Zone Alarm... I understand that it is based on Kaspersky Antivirus, and I just bought Zone Alarm because it was a complete security suite. Or read some reviews and choose SOMETHING else... definitely not Norton. You can read the reviews on Cnet.com, which indicate that Norton has some features that are missing from Zone Alarm, but that those extra features are unnecessary for most users.
Anyway, the main point of this review is that my system now runs 5-10 times faster after I replaced this Suite with another product.
MEMORY INTENSIVE = FRUSTRATION June 22, 2008

Norton is NO LONGER the best AntiVirus software on the market. In fact Its not even in the top 5 anymore according to IT experts. I've had Norton for a decade and after using NIS 2008 for 6 months have HAD IT with this software (even though I have 6 more months on my subscription). Every year Symnantec adds more bells and whistles to their software to the point where it is now SEVERELY slowing down "the train" it is supposed to be protecting. Everytime Lucallback proxy updates (about once an hour) my whole computer freezes up and I have to wait until its finished to continue. AND I have 2 quad core Xeon processors and an awesome graphics card w/ 500 GIG of hard drive space, so basically not a slow computer. While I configured Norton to check for updates twice a week in the evenings, there is no way to stop Lucallback proxy from running. Maybe if enough people quit using Norton, Symantec will get the message and make a better and more streamlined product that isn't so memory intensive. They also need to streamline the installation process. It takes far longer to install Norton Internet Security than any other piece of software I own. But, for now they've lost my business, perhaps indefinetly. I've gone with KASPERSKY! Its a far more reliable and BETTER QUALITY product anyway AND its one of the LEAST MEMORY INTENSIVE antivirus software programs out there. But, don't take my word for it, check out the reviews from PC Professionals & CNET. They all say the same thing.
