 Why do I keep buying Norton products? May 30, 2007
15 out of 16 found this review helpful
I don't know what it is about me, but I keep buying Norton products. Maybe it is because of the guy with the glasses on the cover? Or because "Norton" sounds nerdy?
Norton Ghost rarely if ever works seamlessly. It'll go through several hours doing a backup to my 120gb external drive, then at the last minute (usually in the wee hours of the morning) will stop and inform me there isn't enough space on the destination drive. Why something can't figure that out before it starts is way beyond me.
360 is a whole 'nother story. It refused to back up; doesn't tell me why, just tells me it can't. Tech Support is out to lunch, at least when they are stateside. I'm not sure what it is called in India. Tea?
And to update my Norton Antivirus (which failed to protect me against some amazing virus last weekend) I bought it, downloaded it, and then it told me I had to uninstall - not just my old Antivirus, BUT EVERY GODDAMN SYMANTEC PRODUCT ON MY HARD DRIVE!!! Yes, I am shouting. All of them. Antivirus, Ghost, 360, Winfax. Make sure you have your installation disks around so you can re-install them afer we delete them. The fact that I have Winfax 98 and don't even know where the disk is I guess is my problem.
Anybody out there from Norton? I mean, are you guys for real? What kind of products are you making, and who is giving you marketing advice?
I want to one-click back up my hard drive - all of it, so all I have to do is one click to restore it, so if anyone knows any competitors, please email me.
thanks

I would prefer to return Norton 360 for a refund or exchange for Norton's System works 2007 plus their Norton's Antivirus 2007. I find that this unit requires to much personal attention on my part. I previously used their Norton's Antivirus 2003 and their Norton's System Works 2003 which worked just fine, so I thourth that It was time to up-grade. My personal mistake.

I had Norton 2004 running on XP, never experienced a problem, so when it was time to renew my subscription I opted for this upgrade. Big mistake: it devours system resources, especially memory, slows processor speed to a crawl, made it impossible to connect to the Internet with Outlook, froze up IExplorer, and then, to make matters worse, would not let me either uninstall it or download the Norton remover utility. I struggled with the online help at Norton, fixed all the settings -- no go, and the darn program froze up after every adjustment so I had to reboot repeatedly. I finally got the removal utility off with another computer and voila, all the problems I'd been struggling with disappeared. Bad product, bad service, a waste of the nearly $50 I spent on it.
Norton 360 Caused and UNRECOVERABLE crash May 28, 2007
I "upgraded" to Norton 360 about two months ago on two computers with both afterwards performing extremely slow and CPU usage (from Norton modules) often running in excess of 80%. But, worst of all, just today when it was doing a "routine" scan and cleaning, it crashed my computer bringing the "blue screen of death". I have been unable to restart my computer even in safe mode. (I have found online that this is a problem that has affected around 1000 computers in China due to a Norton mistake that deletes a Windows system file.)
Norton's online chat-help was not helpful. They only thing they could tell me was to restart in safe mode and then UNINSTALL Norton and reinstall...their classic response to every problem. I immediately uninstalled 360 from my working computer and installed NOD32.
DO NOT BUY NORTON 360. I sure hope I can get a refund...

very rude programming. This thing would bog down my computer and not allow any kind of shutdown or override. I scheduled all my scans for saturday night at 2a.m. and it would still take over my system during the day. total piece of garbage. forget about getting through to tech support. Unless you make 2 bucks an hour it won't be worth your time to try to get your money back after you uninstall it.
