- Makes hard drive chatty
Difficult to figure out how to shutdown NAV so it will not interfere with installs.

Makes my 80GB hardrive very chatty for much as 30 minutes after booting or coming out of hybernation, even after defgrag.

Otherwise acceptable. I would be overwhelmed without a system repair tool like Norton.

Rating:

- No Need to Buy this Product
It does nothing that other software, either bundled with Windows or free from Microsoft or other sources can't do. The antivirus can be purchased stand alone if you really want it.

Norton is an unfriendly company; their customer service is not particularly helpful; their software is difficult to activate; try to reinstal it "too many" times because of hard disc failure and they will lock you out from activating permanently.

A one star review is appropriate.

- Protection Center and Rebate Problems
When you install Norton Systemworks (NSW), you will find it adds the Norton Protection Center (NPC) icon to your toolbar. Every time you log in, the NPC goes through a long rigamarole of checking your applications. If you choose to disable Automatic Live Update or Windows Updates--I check these manually myself every week in order to speed up my log in time--NPC flashes error messages at you. You can't set NPC to ignore these items, and the only way you can turn off the NPC is to disable it in your system services settings. However, NSW will keep trying to load the NPC, thus slowing down your log in and throwing error indications into your event viewer. If that isn't enough to irritate you, Norton will screw you on your rebate. I carefully sent in all required items for my rebate, only to get a postcard from Norton saying my proof of purchase was missing. Obviously, Norton lost what I sent in, but there's no way to prove that now--they have my proof of purchase already!

- Buyer Beware
I purchased Norton Systemswork Premier. I used it without difficulty for several months. Then one afternoon (19-Nov-2006), I started getting an error message everytime an application requested a virus scan. The message indicated that Norton was trying to configure itself and said that msi files must be run from setup. I tried to uninstall Norton, but the uninstall failed. From that point on, every file that I tried to open was judged to be infected. A very important MSWORD file was deleted as were my .dot files. My computer became virtually unusable. Norton Systemworks Premier is worse than a virus. I would have given this product zero stars, but one is the minimum allowed.

- Trying too hard...
If you are thinking about purchasing this product: DON'T! I have used other Norton products in the past, so I decided to try their more advanced (and more expensive) virus software. The best way to describe it is this: Norton is trying too hard to manage every aspect of the computer, thus slowing boot time and general speed of the computer dramatically. If you must go with Norton, use the very basic Internet Security program which uses less RAM. Otherwise there are other Virus protection programs which do not slow down the computer so much.
