 WORRIED and WARY OF NORTON! September 20, 2007
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
This software worries me. After almost four years of experiencing its abuse to my computer system and the related loss of critical data, I have become extremely wary of Norton.
I will be filing a formal complaint with my State's Consumer Protection Division to investigate this product and Norton's methods of coercing users to renew their product, quickly on an annual basis.
I have been using Norton anti-virus protection on my computer for at least 3 years.
Since then, I have noticed a pattern of serious computer crashes within a few days of the annual product expiration date.
The cost of repair each time runs me about $150.00. So year after year, I rush to purchase the new product update.
Until this year, I wondered about the pattern of annual crashes, then was forced to conclude that my observation of the correlation of serious/expensive computer crashes and its timing was not random, but predictable.
How did I draw my conclusion?
My spouse's computer is protected with Norton. We do not share the same product copy. I predicted on September 10, 2007 that her computer would have a very serious Crash within a few days of the expiration date of the Norton Product. On September 18, 2007, about two or three days after receiving the expiration date notice it Crashed.
Now bear in mind that, the computer in question is not frequently used.
In 2006, I was forced to replace my laptop,due to my Norton experience. I wondered then about the pattern, but simply dismissed it.
Well this year, I will ask the Consumer Protection Division in my State's Attorney General's Office to look into the pattern of the problem observed and help to verify if the problem is more widespread.
 Works well for me September 12, 2007

To install new properly, uninstall all/old A/V. I use Norton Removal Tool available on their website for download. On reboot I run Registry Mechanic (optional) to clean NAV reminants. I did do a reinstall following an unexplained error. No problem using the Removal Tool and reinstalling. It did ask to login. Ad Aware is my A/S and no interference. Left it on during install with no problem. NAV does occasionally run in the background doing whatever but a minor problem. Slow running scans. System is XP Home. Used NAV for several years and it has performed well. No router. Two others have installed and no problems.
Norton AV 2007 3-User Worked OK, but mighty slow! August 14, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am editing an earlier review of NAV 2007, 3-User (NAV), a CD we bought from lowprice_blink for a total of about $32 including shipping. After two months to make sure no problems surfaced like some described by other purchasers, I commmented that we put it on two computers running Windows XP. With first uninstalling previous Norton versions, plus uninstalling and later reinstalling both Spybot Search & Destroy and Spywareblaster, plus temporarily disabling our Windows XP Firewall, and whatever else was recommended, including restarts, the whole process took at least three hours. But except for slowness, we only had one significant problem with NAV, where I had to use SmitFraudFix to get rid of some spyware/adware, because NAV didn't recognize it. Now, 10 months after uninstalling NAV and 2 months after installing Kasperskly IS 7.0 (KIS) 3-PC, 2-Yr license in its place, I realize that NAV interfered with other programs to such a degree, that one couldn't use the computers for around 6-8 minutes after each startup. Once the computers were on, however, NAV generally seemed to work OK. I should also add in favor of NAV, that when we bought new computers and uninstalled NAV from the old ones, that our remaining license time transferred over to the new computers without a problem. Re-reviewed May 2008, and change our rating to 2 or 3 stars out of 5.
Terrible Antivirus Software. DO NOT BUY IT! July 31, 2007
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Norton Antivirus 2007 is a terrible software. I tried to install it under Win XP. It is extremely unstable. There are so many "unexpected error, please bala bala ....". Everytime there is an red-x error sign on the icon, I can't figure out if it is working or not. If there is a time to consider buying NAV 2007, DON'T CHOOSE NAV!
WORKS FINE ON MY 3 COMPUTERS June 4, 2007
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
However, once you install it (and register it with Symantic) on one computer, the 1 year clock begins to countdown,
even on the 2 remaining installs.
So if you wait 2 months and install it on a 2nd & 3rd computer, you only
have 10 months left on each.
Also, if you have any time remaining from the previous install (2006)
- you lose it!
I had 2 months on one and 1 month on the other and all I got was a total of 1 year each on all 3 - so they will all expire on the same day!
I also had to uninstall Norton's own FireWall before the Antivirus could be installed.
Apart from all of this, it works fine and seems to get along with the Norton SystemWorks Premier (with Ghost) on all 3 machines.
Hopefully, by 2008 all the bad Press will be removed as well.
