 Good Protection January 3, 2008
This Norton is great! Finally, I bought one that I can use on more than one computer. I have two desktops and a lap top and I shouldn't have to purchase three individual Norton Internet Security discs. So, I bought this one for a good price and it works fine. I like Norton and I am accustomed to it. I'll buy it again when this one expires. It's the best internet security and easy to use.
 Norton Internet Security 2007 - Unacceptable October 14, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been a fan of Norton for many, many years.
I purchased a bundle with Norton Internet Security and Norton System Works this year (2007). I had Norton System Works 2005 on my machine before the purchase.
Nothing but problems uninstalling 2005 then installing the bundle. It was a lemon from the get-go. After hours of research and dealing with Norton I was finally able to get it to work. The problems are mostly due to all the residual garbage that Norton strews, hides and locks into your system. Forget the regular uninstall, even the special uninstalling tool that Norton provides on their website left all kinds of registry entries and folders, files and tons of dll's and ini's. I invested at least three full days dealing with this installation.
Ok, so now I'm set, right? Well, it appeared so for a while. I was able to use all the bells and whistles that I was accustomed to using and had a Firewall that was from my favorite computer gardian.
About 3 months after installing the 2007 bundle (SW and NIS), I get a notice that my license has expired. More research, more dealing with Norton, I spent a full day in the middle of a big job (I'm a sole-proprietor and very busy at times ... and all my work is done on my computer ... a nice new Sony VAIO laptop with XP w/SP2). Still no resolve! This was really getting on my nerves, I've got deadlines and contracts to meet!
I tried for another half day (very wasted time ... DEADLINES AHEAD), Norton took their sweet time and even suggested that I had illigitimate software on my computer ... That did it! I immediately researched other software and went back to ZoneAlarm Pro Firewall and got their Security Suite ... WOAH ... tons better ... Seamless Install, Great Firewall, No Problems what-so-ever from ZA.
Sorry, not the end of story yet ... Before installing ZA Security Suite I had uninstalled the Norton 2007 bundle via their recommended, special uninstall tool. When I got done, there were still Symantic Directories, files, registry entries, hidden low level junk, tons of garbage.
It's months later now and I'm still fighting that uninstall. My computer came to a near standstill, slooooooooowed Dooooooooown and now takes about an hour to turn off and much longer to start Windows than before.
I purchased a System Mechanic and it helped some but didn't go deep enough, I guess. I finally found a Freeware Registry cleaner that found a ton of Symantic/Norton junk and seemed to clean things up well.
Don't waste you hard earned bucks on Norton until they prove themselves again ... I'll go miles out of my way to avoid them in the future.
Totally Unacceptable .... Very Bad .... if you care one iota about your computer, don't go with Norton products until they completely rework the way they do business and completely rework the thrown together software that has caused more damage that any of the Viruses, Spyware, Spam, Trojans, Worms that I've ever encountered!
Buyer Beware!!! ... Totally Unacceptable (but I guess you gathered that by now) ... it's all real world experience and I have used a computer 10-12 hours a day since I got my Tandy, Radio Shack TRS-80 way back when.
Norton should be ashamed of their current product ... Totally Unacceptable!

ZERO STARS ~ Doesn't even deserve 1 Star! October 14, 2007
Don't waste you money and time on this. The only way I would have email or internet access would be if I turn off the firewall. Their customer service via email advised me on many different configuration, uninstall, reinstall, etc. steps which took up hours and hours of my time. They now don't reply to any of my emails because they realized that they can't help me. I bought this for my brand new hp computer that runs vista home premium & I was told that it would work on my version, but it's been over 3 months & there's so much bugs with the software that they don't even know how to guide me to troubleshoot it. I'm going to end here because this is not worth any more of my time. I totally give up on this software & will definitely buy another brand software. TOTALY WASTE OF MONEY & TIME ~~~ ZERO STARS FOR THIS ITEM!
 Despite the negative reviews, NIS 2007 should be fine for most users with 1GB RAM August 25, 2007

As someone who has had good experience with NIS 2004 and 2006 over the past 3 years, I hesitated to install NIS 2007 after reading all the negative reviews posted on Amazon. Numerous reviewers who appear to be experienced computer users indicate dramatically slowed internet access and computer crashes trying to go on-line, problems in starting up, problems with running standard software, and problems with NIS installation. One reviewer, trying to counter these concerns, suggests that perhaps the problems these folks were encountering are due to not having configured the installation properly; but this raises further concerns by implying that, in 2007 (unlike prior years), some sophistication is now required during the installation process.
So it was with some trepidation that I finally gave in and bought NIS 2007. My conclusion, after a week with this new software: It's just fine. It installed easily. It has not slowed my e-mail and internet access one iota, nor has it otherwise degraded computer performance. Users with 1GB RAM on a Windows XP system probably do not need to worry about encountering problems if they install NIS 2007.
My success with this software could be due in part to the fact that I have 1GB of dual-channel RAM. (The Sept 2007 issue of Consumer Reports indicates that you probably need 1 gig of memory for use of any of the security suites on the market.) Perhaps some of the reviewers who have had bad experiences had inadequate RAM. Also, I have a Windows XP system with only standard software packages on my computer (e.g., MS Office 2003, WordPerfect Office 12, Paint Shop Pro X); perhaps some of the folks who have had problems have more esoteric web-derived software. I have Time Warner broadband internet access; I wonder if the problems may be related to the specific internet access provider, or the nature of the access (dial-up vs. DSL vs. cable).
This is not to dismiss the serious problems that some have experienced. There is clearly a finite chance that a problem can be ecountered with any security suite. (A friend bought a Dell computer with McAfee pre-installed, and her Time Warner broadband service stopped operating until McAfee was uninstalled.) I'm just suggesting that your chances of having a problem with this product are probably much smaller than the number of negative reviews here would imply, since it's the folks who have had problems who are most likely to post reviews here.
I give NIS 2007 4 rather than 5 stars because Consumer Reports (Sept 2007) rates its effectiveness the lowest of the security suites it reviewed. However, in the 3 years I've been using NIS, I have not experienced any of the threats that NIS is supposed to guard against. So either I'm lucky, or the suite is doing its job. I also grade NIS 2007 down for saying on the box that only 256MB RAM is required, when, in fact, RAM requirements may be four times that.
Horrible! August 9, 2007

Since I've installed this software, it has slowed down my internet searching in the worst way. It is hanging up and constantly flashing the hourglass and not letting me scroll down efficiently, even though the page is done loading. What a let down from Symantec. I have been a loyal happy customer of the Internet Security product until this year, and if they don't improve their product and either provide a fix for these issues or issue another release, they are not only going to lose me as a customer but many others that I teach to. I have recommended this software to my many students and will have to warn them not to buy this year's version. Time to try the competitor! Don't waste your time and money hoping it will work out okay for you--that's what I did even after reading bad reviews on it. I learned my lesson. Get it back together, Symantec!
