Summary: Memory Hog
Review: This program is a memory hog and very difficult to uninstall!
I does slow the computer down and you still have to spend endless hours dowloading and installing all the patches and critical up dates from Microsoft.
I dumped it and went back to grisoft's Free AVG and have not had a worm or virus since. I catches them as they try to enter, not afterwards.

Summary: Give this software to your enemies as a gift!
Review: In using PCs for 22 years, before NIS2004 I have never not been able to install a software package. Well, congratulations Symantec, I have met my match and am humbled. Like many others who left comments, after 10 hours I gave up and went back to my NIS2003.

Summary: Satisfaction
Review: To all of you who had problems installing NIS 2004 I say.... "What?" Mine installed with no problems (and I am a microbiologist, not a computer guy). If you're having installation problems, then I would say user error is involved. Not only has it caught and delt with many viruses, it has helped me catch many hackers (probably ametures) trying to hack my computer. This product allows you to track down that person's IP address so you may report it to their ISP. I have done this several times. As far as spam, I don't get any. I don't know if it is because I disabled my MSN Passport (the source of much spam) or if the NIS is working. You guys running older and slower computers probably do not want this software. It is a resource hog when it's in full swing, but mine is only slow on boot up.

Summary: S L O W. S L O W E R.........
Review: I run Win98 and a Pentium 2. I replaced the 2001 version (which ran fine). This slows down my system to the point of being unusable. I installed, uninstalled, custom reinstalled with less features with the same result. Installed OK, may run OK on P4 machines. Wouldn't use with older hardware.

Summary: Terrible Product
Review: After trying to install this new version, I gave up after numerous retries (uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, etc. etc.). This is the WORSE software I've come across in years and I have been using Norton's products for awhile now. I've trashed the software (lost over $60) and kept Norton Internet Security 2003. As far as features the 2004 version has, I can't even comment on them since the software repeatedly failed to startup on each reboot. You gotta wonder if the software developers in Symantec rushed this one out without any thorough testing! Computer I tried to install on:
Dell Pentium III with 640 MB Ram and 500 MHz CPU with Windows XP

Summary: NIS 2004 (Gets 1 star, deserves NONE or minus 300)
Review: Excuse me, but what is that smell? Oh yeah, it is NIS 2004, the foul stench of a failure. I bought this crap, TRIED to install it....a disaster in it's own right..can you say REFORMAT.
Needless to say this garbage ware is sitting on top of my garbage can...right where it belongs, I will take the 70 dollar loss, and NEVER buy another Norton product again, If you are sure you must have NIS 2004, I'd advise getting it from KaZaA, even then, if it doesn't work, you are not out 70 bucks. If it is cracked properly it will work like a charm :-) DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP SOFTWARE, NORTON IS THE VIRUS, THE "HACKERS" YOU ALL FEAR ARE NOT THE ENEMY, THESE SOFTWARE COMPANYS ARE..."HACKERS" READ YOUR FILES, BIG BUSINESS STEALS YOUR MONEY...PICK YOUR POISON!!

Summary: Long Time User of Norton Internet Security is NOT Impressed
Review: I have used Norton Internet Security since it first came out and was always impressed, but this version falls short of what they promise in one respect. The Anti Spam does NOT work with all POP3 email programs.. It will not work with Netscape (4.8 or 7.x) even Symantecs Tech Support could not figure out why. The product is just fine if you don't require AntiSpam - that part of the program is either badly misrepresented in its compatibility or Symantecs Marketing Department needs to tone down its promises to customers.

Summary: ABSOLUTLY HORRIBLE
Review: I am now compleatly bald from trying to use this product, if you have the 2003 version KEEP IT. Thease tech support people are brain dead. This new version is so parinoid about unlicenced copys floating around that even if you pay for it it still treats you like you stole it.

Summary: PC nightmare.......DON'T GO THERE!
Review: I spent an entire weekend trying to load the software & then uninstall it. There was a litany of problems; i was unsuccessful with enabling any of the security features or firewall.
Then I was denied access to browse on the internet. Symantec does have great customer service but limited; only Mon-Fri 8am-6pm.
i continued to receive error messages that the problem was linked to Microsoft installation; after being able to download & run other software I came to the conclusion that the software I purchased was corrupt.
Terrible disappointment.....since I've had great success with other Symantec products. I guess they need to work out the bugs on this one.

Summary: New Version works Fine for Me
Review: I didn't have any major problems installing this software. The only problem I had was a few components didn't quite load correctly upon startup, but a reboot fixed the problem. I had NIS 2003 and was very happy with it; this new version really doesn't seem to offer a lot of exciting new features, seems merely the same as 2003 dressed-up to look like a new version. Anyhow, this software is working fine and no problems since I installed it two weeks ago. I give it 4-stars only because the installation process - or rather problems that may surface during the installation process - can be frustrating to the average computer user. If you experience problems with installation, you can visit symantec's website, click the support tab, click the 'home or home office support' and there is an automated support assistant that can scan the Norton program files on your computer and it will tell you what is not working right and how to fix it. Can't get easier than that!
