Customer Reviews

caution should be taken
this caused massive problems for us when installing it on a 4 system mini network (4 PC's) and on a laptop - see my full review on upgrade 5 users version. Treat with caution. Its caused us lots of stress

Norton Internet security
I don't rate Norton at all anymore, it's insidious, gets into every part of your machine and an absolute monster when trying to remove it from your system. Not recommended, does what its supposed to but not user friendly and a down right nuisance at times, steer clear, and try Kaspersky, so far it's a dream in comparison.

Norton 2008 Nightmare!
I installed Norton Internet Security 2008 on my DELL pc, which already had Norton 2004 installed. This latter program was due for a subscription renewal so I figured it would be cheaper to purchase and install the later version which must be an improvement mustn't it??? The installation appeared to go ok, but then it got stuck at the final "live update" stage. I left it running for about an hour, with the program apparently "updating" my pc, but it never completed and I guessed it must have "hung". I then tried to stop the installation, but to no avail. In the end, I was obliged to use "control-alt-delete" to halt the program. I then retried installation and the same thing happened. By now, my pc was running very slowly and took about 3 minutes to re-boot! I got VERY worried, wishing I had never bothered with the product. I then managed to uninstall Norton 2008. I then used System Restore to go back to where I started, hoping Norton 2004 would work ok again but of course it didn't! Error messages started appearing and the 2004 version would not run. I then tried to uninstall 2004 to get rid of Norton altogether from my system, but it would not uninstall and would not let me re-install over the top of the damaged program!!! Getting desperate, I used the windows "clean-up" program to uninstall all the bits of Norton from my pc and then cleaned up the registry with Registry Mechanic. Finally, I managed to re-install Norton 2004 which now appears to be 90% ok but some things no longer work - like email SPAM detection. I won't be touching any Norton products again. This episode has taught me a lesson and given me a great deal of unnecessary worry so I have returned the discs to Amazon for a full refund. Hope you have better luck with it than I did!
