Domain Name Com's - Software : Norton 360 [OLD VERSION]

- Norton360
Over all a great product. It does impact startup and shutdown speed. It more than tripled the time it takes for the computer to shut down once you click the shut down button (Windows XP). I do like the features better than other security systems I've tried, however.

- Awesome deal for vista protection
Recieved this item in original box. Works well with basic Vista platform. The price could not have been any cheaper. I mean this was a buy you can not refuse. ANYWHERE and I mean anywhere. I shopped untill I dropped.

- Malignant 360!
I wish I could have given this steaming pile of bits no stars! I installed Norton 360 on two computers. It slowed down both of them. Not severely so, until the program started to nag me to renew my subscription. After I did so I lost the use of my laptop for about 4 days. It slowed down so much that it took 4-6 HOURS to boot up and about the same amount of time to shut down!!! After determining that Norton could be the problem it took me almost 18 hours to delete the program. Perhaps the problems have been corrected in Version 2. I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE THE CHANCE!!! I had already removed the program from my other machine because it blocked me from connecting to my ipod, pda and many online functions.

- SYMANTEC NOT REPUTABLE
Symantec (seller of Nortaon Anti-Virus products) is not a reputable company. I purchased an on-line anti-virus subscription, had difficulty installing it, got fed up and went to McAfee. Symantec refuses to give me a refund. Their customer service is terrible and very hard to reach. It's in India and if you aren't a "preferred" customer you will wait at least 30 minutes. I know because I've timed it.

McAfee Anti-Virus software was easy to install. Their customer service personnel were very helpful. Go with McAfee and avoid Symantec.

- An absolute PIG of a program!
I was an avid user of Norton's System Works back in 2002. The program worked very well, even the AntiVirus program that was included with it was extremely efficient. In 2004 I bought Norton's Antivirus 2004. It quite literally crashed and burned! Now, after using Trend which didn't stop a bugger of a virus, I made th switch back to Norton's after the IT person where I work recommended them over Trend and just about all other programs. What did I learn? Don't listen to the IT people where I work!

Norton's 360 does have some good features. Anti-Spyware, the Firewall, and the Identity protection functions are very nice. It also has a Firefox cleanup as a default setting. So if you're worried about someone snooping around your computer looking for your most frequented websites, this is nice to have. The program installed relatively easily. And the program will auto update on it's own. It also has a PC Tune Up function that includes a cleanup and disk defragmenter, and a Backup files system which can be annoying because it will keep asking you to buy more storage space. It also has "Auto Fill" form for your favorite websites and Phishing protection. All nice features.

Unfortunately that's where the praise stops. Norton's 360 2.0 is so bloated and so resource hungry it will significantly slow down your system. Even if you have a fairly fast computer (I'm running a Dell 2.0 gig AMD Dual Core system with 1gig of RAM) it will still slow your computer down to a crawl at times. Your computer will also boot up more slowly, sometimes the startup sound coming over ten seconds after Windows XP loads. Windows shutdown can also be problematic. Your computer will hang for a bit and then you will occasionally get an error message saying "ccsrvchst.exe error" or something to that effect. Plain and simple, this is something that a software maker should ensure doesn't happen!! Symantec has been very slow to come up with a solution for this. People have come up with some registry edits on their own. However if you're not an experienced computer user I wouldn't recommend attempting them. Symantec's email support is also slow to non-responsive. I sent them an email about a week ago and I have yet to receive a reply. And probably the final insult, you have to download a special tool from Symantec's website to completely remove Norton 360 2.0. As it has a tendency to leave bits of itself behind on your computer.

There used to be a time when I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a Norton or Symantec product. However, Norton 360 2.0 is evidence on just how far the company has fallen in terms of quality. The best way I can put it is that Norton's 360 2.0 is the SUV of security programs. It's big, obtrusive, and it's a power hungry beast who's hunger you can not satiate. Honestly, I can't recommend this product to anyone. I'm currently looking for an alternative that's more efficient.
