Only Fools ever have issues with NAV 10by websterphreaky - August 5, 2005

Pros: Great improvement, thorough, easy to use, the Best for Mac OS X

Cons: Not a single one, maybe to complicated for BLOCK HEADS

This newbie had no problems dealing with Norton.by imjdg - April 16, 2005

Cons: definitions are always up to date yet can not fix any files that are infected

I Prefer Grisoft AVGby - April 12, 2004

Pros: Pretty easy for a beginner to use....

Cons: ...but not for a beginner to get rid of or re-install! I tried to re-install the software after having to do a system reformat... what a nightmare. Even after going through their KB AND receiving e-mail tech support (to no avail- they couldn't even figur

NAV2004 install disaster support sameby - March 1, 2004

Pros:

Cons: Had NAV2002 with subscription. Upgarded to NAV2004. Didn't install correctly. Can not uninstall easily. Locks computer, error messages. Am not on 5th day of waiting for response to email. The only thing it did was wipe out my NAV2002 so I am without virus

NAV 2003/4 are terribleby - November 7, 2003

Pros: Easy to install, good user interface

Cons: Locks up machine, slows all inet traffic to a crawl. No uninstall program with software; had to go to web site and it then blew my registry to pieces. Terrible tech support.

What a wonderful product.by - October 21, 2003

Pros: Yeh I admit when the product first came out I had problems installing it. I downloaded the trial before I actually downloaded it. Some of you I think you actually consider using the trial first. Now don't tell me about Mcafee. I know all about Mcafee

Cons:

Slows down your computer!by - October 4, 2003

Pros: It does work well, it does stop virus' and the liveupdate is easy to use.

Cons: I just revieved a new computer, a blazing fast laptop and the last thing I want to see is the old houglass when I click on something, and that is exactly what i do see when I use Norton Antivirus 2003. The best thing I can recommend is to diable all the

Norton AntiVirus 2003 a good AntiVirus programby - October 4, 2003

Pros: I have had Norton AntiVirus 2003 for 11 months now and I have had no problems with it what so ever running on Windows XP Pro. The interface is the best yet. Norton AntiVirus 2003 now removes viruses, trojans and worms without bothering you. The last ye

Cons: Still slow full system scans Don't look for Norton AntiVirus 2004 to be any better, in fact most are saying Norton AntiVirus 2003 is better due to the below par and clumpy spyware remover that Norton AntiVirus 2004 has which will result in taking away mo

well it's not really goodby - September 6, 2003

Pros: i can not delete virus w32.jeefo althought NAV found it in my 120 files in my computer and i can not know what can i do with these guys and just quarantined them >#

Cons:

Great Product As Usualby - September 5, 2003

Pros: Works Great. Stops all threats. Service is so-so but with all the automated help on the web who needs phone support.

Cons: No complaints here. Thanks Symantec for another great product.

Interupts Running Programs & Gamesby - September 3, 2003

Pros: I'm not big on downloading from unfamiliar websites, so my exposure to a potential virus is less than others. I also don't open email unless it's from someone I know, so I can't say Norton has been a good anti-virus software for me... however...

Cons: I'm running NAV 2002 and wanted to know if this problem will be changed for 2003. I'm in the middle of a hot battle online in Allied Assault - Medal of Honor and the damn Norton "Automatic renewal" message pops up and kicks me off my game and back to win

Haters Hate NAVby - September 2, 2003

Pros: Norton's is THE antivirus program you need. All these haters need to hate elsewhere. It DOES work with ZoneAlarm and other programs flawlessly. If it takes too long to switch between windows during a scan then GET MORE MEMORY. What wouldn't take long when

Cons:

Crooks at Symantecby - August 23, 2003

Pros: Works very well in stopping viruses.

Cons: Annual renewal price for Symantec's (Norton) anti-virus definitions has steadily increased, from $3.95, to $9.95, then $19.95 and now to $24.95. I have 4 (home) systems so this translates to $100 per year for this retired IS geek. Greed can't even descr

You can get much better for freeby - August 23, 2003

Pros: Catches viruses reasonably well

Cons: Bogs down computer, expensive, have to renew every year

Don't bother, its a waste of time.by - August 22, 2003

Pros: Easy to use, good support, good price.

Cons: Doesn't detect loads of worms and infected programs that Mcafee's free online virus search did... Whats the use of paying for this when it can't find what a free utility can... But then Im not saying that Mcafee's prog is the solution... It has its own

No Problems in 5 Years!by - August 21, 2003

Pros: Have used NAV on 4 different home systems over the last 5 years, upgrading regularly, without EVER getting infected - unlike my previous home experience with McAfee, and continuing problems with our campus network and McAfee. Reading the negative comments

Cons: Slow full system scans. Do it overnight!

How do I know?by - August 20, 2003

Pros: I recently uninstalled NAV 2003. Everything still seems to work on my pc. I also did a search for "nav", "symantec", etc. in all files and folders and nothing was found relating to theses words. Is there anything else I can do to make sure that ALL of NAV

Cons:

Strongly Advise DO NOT buy this productby - August 9, 2003

Pros:

Cons: Having renewed my subscription the software performed an on-line update and has never worked since. The Live Update fails to connect and hangs my machine. I downloaded the new executable advised by their website and this just constantly runs in the back g

Norton Antivirus is a big, big disappointmentby - August 9, 2003

Pros: Hmmm... can't think of any

Cons: Large footprint, very slow, misses viruses it is supposed to catch (it missed two on my PC), expensive. All in all there is no way I can recommend this product, use Kaspersky or NOD32 for *real* antivirus protection.

Runs Great! No Problems in 3 yearsby - August 7, 2003

Pros: It found every virus,script,and worm I ever recieved in files and emails ect. Never once has it caused stability issues with my pc's.

Cons: Tech Support is expensive

Horrible - Don't Buy Itby - August 5, 2003

Pros: Don't know, my computer was too slow to find any

Cons: Slow, Slower and Slowest. Constant crashes, Live Update wouldn't work. The only way to get support was to pay more for it than I did the software.

Norton Is Norvin's New Favorite Antivirus Softwareby - August 4, 2003

Pros: My first antivirus software was McAfee v3.x which I used for a couple of years. I tried Norton 2001 and hated it. I used Trend PC-cillin 6 and 2000 but it was slow. I discovered F-Prot Antivirus and have used it until recently. A friend of mine had a

Cons: None that I have found so far.

Internal Program Errorby - July 31, 2003

Pros: It scans for Viruses and that's about it.

Cons: Has Internal Program Errors. I did not pay for something that needs to be installed 4 times in a month because it creates internal program errors. Looks like Norton Antivirus 2001 problem all over again!

Useless Antivirus Programby - July 17, 2003

Pros:

Cons: The problem with Norten Antivirus is this: It does NOT detect viruses! With the latest program and pattern file updates as of July 17, 2003, this program did not find a single virus on my system. However, using Trend Micro's free HouseCall I found not one

Review: I have NAV2k3 on 4 machines here at work.

Under WinME I have found it to corrupt Explorer.exe as well as jscript.exe (Java) Unistalling it and extracting said files fixed the errors.ReInstalling 2k3 and same problems. Prosses of elemination.....2k3 was at fault. I highly recommend Norton products, But not NAV2k3 under ME And why is it anytime there is a Norton review,There is always an employee raiving about it?
