Domain Name Com's - Software : Norton Internet Security 2004

- Voted With My Feet
After months of frustration with NIS 2004 and Symantec's pitiful tech. support, I finally threw in the towel. Went with PC-cillin Internet Security 2005 and am happy that I did so. The PC-cillin UI isn't as refined as NIS's but - you know! - the product works, the Anti-spam component integrates nicely with Outlook, and etc... No compatibility issues and my machine is running noticably quicker.

With any luck, I'll never have to be concerned with the quality of TrendMicro's tech. support. In any event, it couldn't possibly be worse than Symantec's. Here's Symantec's version of how to fix the Visual C++ Runtime Error for the AntiSpam plugin, so well documented in other customer reviews and on the Web:
1) Rename MSOUPLUG.DLL to MSOUPLUG.OLD. Trouble is, that's not a fix; it simply prevents the error message by disabling the very plug-in you were trying to fix.
2) Do a LiveUpdate for NIS 2005. Trouble is, I was running NIS 2004.
3) Remove and reinstall NIS 2004. A painful procedure that, in the end, doesn't work (and they know it).
4) Upgrade to NIS 2005. (Yeah! Right!)

Um... NIS 2004 a bad product. Very bad. Read the reviews here before you buy; we can't ALL be lying...

- Killed my Internet Access Speed
Loaded this suite on a newly built PC: AMD Athlon64 512Mb RAM, WinXP Home, running broadband cable - connection speeds were slower than my dialup while I had the program loaded. Uninstalled and PC ran like a champ... excepting the junk Symantec left on my PC... Couldn't fully uninstall since it had hooked nearly every program I had installed. Ended up having to reload Windows to get the machine to run without error and at optimum speed.

Would NOT recommend this program. It was a waste of my time and money.

- NIS 2004 - Total Garbage
Without repeating all the problems reported by other reviewers (I have experienced most of them and more) suffice it to say that amazon should take this off of their shelf and refuse to sell it. It is utter and complete garbage - I have never seen any software that behaves so poorly or is so poorly supported. Symantec / Norton should be ashamed of this product and should send a refund to all users of it.

- I am so glad it's not just me!!
I was begining to think I was computer-retarded after dealing with this program. I was using this on my 2001 Dell laptop (which worked fine until I upgraded to this junk!) I had much of the same problems that everyone else has listed (mainly the SLOOOOOOOOOW processor), and then I couldn't get the damn thing off my computer completely!

I decided to give it one last chance... so I formatted my hard drive, reinstalled Windows XP (which also required a day & night download/install of SP2 on dial-up) and put NIS2004 back onto the computer. It locked during install and I had to reformat the drive and start from scratch (GRRRRRR!)

Blessedly, my DSL was installed just about this time and I set up a wireless network with my desktop. So when I reformatted for the third time, downloading SP2 took no time at all and the new XP was kind enough to even suggest other antivirus programs to try (it also listed Norton and McAffee).

I downloaded a trial version of Computer Associates EZ Firewall and Antivirus and fell in love with a computer security system all over again. I can't recommend their programs enough.

And I can't warn you enough to STAY AWAY FROM NORTON!!

- Give it a chance
I think this very good protection utility, you just jave to give it a chance. It always keeps me protected, since I started to use NIS few years ago, never had any viruses. It does a good job with the Firewall and Auto Protect. If you have two Firewalls on your PC just turn off one of them, I turnerd off my windows firewall and left NIS Firewall, and my PC works very smoothly and very effeciently. Once I had a problem with Auto-Protect, so I contacted Technician via email, and they send me response to solve mmy problem, I was able to solve it almost immedately. If you think about buying this Product I would highly recommend it.
