I am not a Norton basher, I am against Symantec products. When Peter Norton
owned the products many years ago it did what was advertized. When Symantec
bought him out it has went down hill ever sense. You are among the few that
hasn't had any trouble and you are one of the lucky ones. It's not so much
the software doesn't do it's job, but it is a Resource Hog hands down and
they have done nothing to improve it. Furthermore, it's gotten worse with
their added Suite. Their uninstall does not even clean up their own mess and
they have now an extra file one must run to get rid of it which BTW still
leaves some remnants. If it works for you great, but as with anything the
majority rules and if you search these groups and the Net you will see it is
not worth a grain of salt to put their Junkware on any system. Do a Google
for "why people hate Norton Internet Security" and you will see many
reasons. Also try "why people like Norton Internet Security". The only thing
I still use and still works in all versions of windows from 3.0 to Vista is
NortonSS, other than that they couldn't pay me to take it. If fact I've
thrown away many FREE copies that have been sent to me over the years when I
order hardware and software for my customers.
