Symantec-Norton Is A Has Been
I had been a Norton User since 1995, up to 2003 I was pleased, but it has gotten worse with each update. I had to uninstall Internet Security 2007 because it was thrashing my disk constantly--removed it and the disk thrashing stopped. I had most of the bad experiences mentioned by others. I kept on upgrading because I foolishly still believed in the Norton of the past, but it is Norton only in name, Symantec is greedy and incompetent, no longer a good choice--actually a disaster. I hope they do not do to Partition Magic what they did to Norton. What a shame. I am done with Symantec. Norton, Partition Magic, Drive Magic were all good products. Now I have to spend the time to find other solutions, but it will save me time in the long run, as compared to all the time I had wasted on Symantec, especially all the re-installs of my system that I had to do to revert back to a clean system. Don't waste your time with Symantec-Norton.

Nortons Internet Security is good to me.
I have been using Norton's for a long time and while I believe no software is perfect, I like the Internet Security series enough to update it twice a year. I am not a Bill Gates in any way nor am I a person who knows just enough to be dangerous, I feel that I fall in the middle of computer knowledge and skill. The reason I update every other year is solely for software improvements as the software keeps you up to date in the virus definitions at all times while your subscription is active. When I first used Internet security, I just bought it off the shelf and installed it and it worked fine, just needed to tweak a few areas and I haven't looked back since. I bought the update from Amazon and was reading the comments left by end users and was shocked at their comments. A good amount was user issues was with installation and how it didn't run right or slowed there PC to a crawl. Well first off, they print instructions for a reason and it states that you need to delete ALL copies of Norton's and any other anti virus from your PC, so they don't interfere with each other, simple enough right? Second is the part on the box that tells you what your system requirements will need to be to run it. This is another area I think hurts people as their system cant handle the software and it bogs down to nothing. I have updated my PC with memory and a few other things and the software runs fine edition after edition because I believe I have a PC that performs. Is there better protection software out there, I'm sure there is, but for us middle of the road people who don't have an IT department to back us up, I like it just fine and it has served my family well for years. Just read the box and instructions and you'll be happy with it, because after all the only way to learn is to do.

slows down computer
I was running version 2007 and because of my subscription I got a free online upgrade to 2008. My computer definitely runs more slowly. IE6 is slower to start. Otherwise it seems to have no problems, though I only loaded the upgrade yesterday.

A Simple Reason To Buy This Norton Product
I am not a computer or tech expert in any sense of the word, but I have heavily used personal computers in my home for my entire life. Each of those computers have been guarded by some version of Norton Internet Security. Never have I ever had a computer of mine crash due to a virus, or had problems with adware or spyware. However, a few of my relatives took a bit of a cheaper route and had their PCs "protected" by other products...and those family members are constantly taking their computers into Best Buy to have the "Geek Squad" remove the multiple viruses that locked up their systems.
Like I said, I'm not extremely tech-savvy, but my common sense experience tells me that Norton is a superior product to all its competition. The only drawback is that the 2008 edition may bog down slower computers, but Symantec does allow you to revert back to the 2003 edition if need be.
I recommend spending a little extra money on this product each year, but then enjoying the security and peace of mind that it brings.

Horribe!
Each time I ran a scan, norton showed only 1 tracking cookie. This seemed odd, so I downloaded the free version of AdAware and the scan showed 389 tracking cookies!!! Norton is absolutely useless. I ran it on vista 64 and had continuous problems with freezing/hanging. So sorry I gave this program a try.
