- Norton does not deserve one star!!
I regret spending any money on the Norton Internet Security 2004.
Please don't purchase this product. You will be flushing your money away! It almost crashed my computer, it was so slow you could take a nap just logging on. I un-installed the software, and my computer works great now. I just dont have any anti-virus Security. I think Norton needs to make a patch or something to fix this problem. I'm not the only one that has had problems with this product.

- Don't waste your time
OK, Firstly I would like to thank everyone who posted a review for this product. I found this to be the most helpful site. I just wish I would have read up on the product before I purchased it. My 2003 version of norton expired and I felt vulnerable to attack so I upgraded to the professional version. From the minute I installed it, I couldn't connect to the internet. I went through the help wizard and I turned off this device and that level, etc... My LAN port and my wireless ports became disabled so I reinstalled the drivers and they seem to be working properly, but still no connection. Yahoo IM somehow found a way out and was connecting, but it couldn't retrieve my mail or anything else. I thought that there was something that I was missing and I knew the best place to look was from customers who were having the same problem. I found this site first. After one week of trying everything on my own, I found this review and immediately removed Norton from my computer and Walla......back on the internet. I've never had so many problems with software in my life. I wouldn't have given this product a 1, but that was the lowest this site would allow me to give. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT!!!! IF ITS TOO LATE FOR YOU TOO, REMOVE IT AND YOUR PROBLEMS WILL DISAPPEAR.

- Beware on Win 98 SE
BEWARE. This product may cause corruption under Windows 98 Second Edition. I installed it on a Dell XPSR450 Pentium II, 450 Mhz, running Win98SE and it not only corrupted Windows, but also caused physical hard drive sector damage so bad the drive had to be replaced. I am no novice, been in IT for 26 years and have built and repaired many PCs and Macs. This was an older machine but it worked flawlessly and had the drive wiped with clean installs of all apps and Windows just a couple of months prior. No spyware, viruses, etc. This machine was in good shape behind a hardware and software firewall with Norton Antivirus updated 3 times a week, and Windows fully updated. Norton Internet Security killed my hard drive!

I've never had problems with Norton products on PCs or Macs prior to this.

- Norton Internet Security - A Symantec Paradox
I upgraded from Norton Anti-Virus 2003 to Norton Internet Security (N.I.S) 2004 online in August 2004.

Using this software is tantamount to cutting off the head to cure the cold. The N.I.S works so well that every single programme is filtered to the extent the computer's processor is unable to actually run the software at all. My laptop is not slow neither (Dell Inspiron 1.7 Centrino). It was unable to handle DVDs running through PowerDVD without freezing during DVD playback.

Now to the most frustrating part; getting a refund. I used the email non-technical issue response page - promising to provide a response within 5-7 days (five times), in an attempt to get advice on whether all computers were slowed down - waited a week no response.

I phoned Symantec (London) on a number of occassions, was put on hold for 20-25 minutes, then gave up. I did eventually speak to a woman, whom I believe was from Ireland. I came to the conclusion she would have been of more use picking potatoes for Symantec.

2 months post purchasing the software I am still waiting for a response! My only advice is use the firewall and security update available free from Windows Update (Service Pack 2). Coupled with the basic anti-virus from Norton this is sufficient. If you are still not content try McAfee's own version which PC WORLD in the UK have recently put before Symantec's attempt of Internet Security.

- Worse than the viruses
Using Internet Security is worse than getting a virus in the first place. I have had to remove it from 4 machines because it slowed down the Cox Cable Internet so much that I couldn't get my email, or get to websites reliably. I turned it off, but real cure was to completely uninstall the piece of junk.

It is a sad day when the software that is supposed to protect your system is worse than the disease itself.
