Norton Antivirus 2009 Reviews
Norton antivirus crashed my computer and made e-mail download take too long. So if you consider Norton, I recommend avoiding them.
I had trouble at first in installing this product. If there is only one user to a computer, it is fine, if not, it would be advisable to select another Norton product. With help from my son who is in the computer business we were able to complete the installation. For the price, this appears to be adequate for my home computer.
You have to uninstall your firewall AND not reinstall any other firewall except Norton. Only after buying this do you find out that you can't use it with your existing firewall. A simple warning on the box saying DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU USE A FIREWALL would save people alot of people alot of hassle but I guess it would end up costing Norton alot of sales too.
NO ACCOUNTABILITY. support dept. They gave me a website to go to, which, you guessed it, I COULD NOT ACCESS FROM THE INFECTED COMPUTER. I needed that computer so after a few choice words, I reluctantly agreed.
"Sorry, can't help you if you can't get to that address". I downloaded NOTHING to get this virus. I'M DONE WITH SYMANTEC. I consider myself very computer competent & was "surfing the net" when the Norton pop-up "detected a worm & had to close." Next thing I know my Norton was disabled & I couldn't even reach tech support from that computer. FALSE ADVERTISING. I set up a "chat" with Norton tech support from my OTHER computer & waited 4 hours for someone from a 3rd world country to tell me they would fix it. I got the "antispyware XP 2009" virus with this software installed & working properly. Try McAfee or someone else.
My browser was hijacked, I could only visit certain websites, the rest were "not found". He explained that they are not part of Norton, but a separate I.T. NO FREE SUPPORT OR REFUND IF THEIR PRODUCT DOES NOT DO WHAT THEY CLAIM IT WILL. FOR $99 DOLLARS.
I can't remember the last time I felt so misled & ripped off "Sorry Charlie". Tried emailing Symantec directly with the same result. THAT'S LIKE SELLING ME CAR INS., THEN JUST GIVING ME A PHONE # FOR A BODY SHOP WHEN I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT.
WASTE OF MONEY. WHAT. I have had Norton AV installed for over 4 years now (automatic renewal).
(If my PC is clean why do I need that). Once installed it did ask me to log into my Norton account, which I was grateful for since I will purchase it next year. Plus it didn't automatically enroll me in auto yearly purchase like Spysweeper did. It's the only one I have stayed with.
Every year they consume more and more. Show me a virus that does that. Honestly I have hated Norton products since Norton 04. If I did want an outgoing firewall I would have bough Norton Internet Security. (if they remain like 09). Installs in a minute. I currently have a router with a built in firewall (all routers do have NAT) and the Vista firewall.
I am extremely impressed with Norton 09. However the registration was easier then Kapersky and Trend Micro. In my opinion I would rather have a virus on my machine then install Norton 05-08. When your computer goes idle it starts a quick scan in the background.
After trying Kapersky 09, Trend Micro 09, Webroot W/Virus 6.0, F-Prot, AVG, AVAST and Norton 09. As far as up-to date definitions go it always tells me that my definitions were automatically updated 10-30 minutes ago. More than 1/3 of the computer resources were being used by 07. Keeping it to one security program.
I don't believe in installing more than one security (antispyware, antivirus, firewall) program on a PC it will cause problems. As far as scanning goes it has a built in detector on safe services and will bypass scanning these areas for faster scanning. The only good thing made from Norton was their removal tool.
I didn't need a 3rd party "outgoing" firewall.
