Norton AntiVirus: The Readers Strike Back
Talkback I had no reason to be unhappy with Norton's 2003 anti-virus until one day, out of the blue, I booted up and found no Norton icon in the tray.manually opening it, I discovered that the auto-protect and email scanning features were un-checked.

Norton AntiVirus: The Readers Strike Back
Talkback Thanks for all the advice about Norton Anti-virus, I have a 2002 package and have not been able to renew on line. I have sent numerous emails to Symantec which they have ignored. I was hoping to find a phone number for symantec, but after reading...

Norton AntiVirus: The Readers Strike Back
Talkback I was a happy user of Norton Internet Security 2001. Symantec ruined a good product here. It was a great product but they dropped support. I tried to install 2004, and it was one nightmare after another.

Norton AntiVirus: The Readers Strike Back
Talkback I just renewed my subscription to Norton Internet Security 2002, and ever since then my Internet Explorer (cable modem) has been working at a snail's pace. And when I try to contact Symantec for help, all they can say is that NIS2002 is no longer...

Talkback Symantec Limited Are Symantec quoted on any Tech stock markets - perhaps their shareholders would like to know how their customers feel? For interest here's the address given on my renewal order confirmation.

Talkback Go ahead and call Symantec and talk to a technical support representative and see if they can resolve your issue. They may not charge you.

Norton AntiVirus: The Readers Strike Back
Talkback Symantec get my vote for the worst "Customer Service" on this planet. The Tech Helpdesk are NO help they simply refer you to other Symantec websites. I am so frustrated with Symantec it hurts - the temptation to fly to Ireland to vent that...

Norton AntiVirus: The Readers Strike Back
Talkback With the firewall on it wont let you near any sites and if Symantec are serious about resolving this, and it is probabely how to configure it they should alow online support. I bought NIS as I had been attacked by a trojan

Norton AntiVirus: The Readers Strike Back
Talkback I find using google just as effective at solving problems with NAV as the symantec web site and don't even bother with the telephone support anymore. As someone who gets called out to small businesses to solve IT problems I keep at least one copy...

Norton AntiVirus: The Readers Strike Back
Talkback We actually went a stage further and paid for an upgrade to NIS 2004, but had so many subsequent system faults and such slow responses that we cancelled the upgrade after 3 days and obtained a full refund of our $64.45 from Symantec.

Norton AntiVirus: The Readers Strike Back
Talkback Symantec are a disgrace. Thank goodness your article has a technical help phone number for them. This is impossible to find. They are impenetrable. And then they want to charge on top of a subscription when I suddenly cannot download their Virus...

Talkback Symantec's rivals cannot stand that, that's why they hire writers like Mr. Mr. Kotadia is really incompetent person. NAV have been working excellent for 3 years already on my computer and I didn't have any trouble.

Why You Should Ditch Norton AntiVirus
Talkback Symantec and McAfee run by the same company? Symantec and McAfee may seem to be "resting" as you say, but if you understood the business behind either of those companies, you might have a renewed respect for the work that is done on a daily, even...

Talkback I use norton systemworks 2003 for a year. Norton 2004 DOES have a problem. Symantec knows about it but they have done nothing to correct this fault. Most of viruses are stopped by my ISP, supanames. Others do get stopped by NAV.

Why You Should Ditch Norton AntiVirus
Talkback As someone who actually looks into anti virus software as a researcher i can safely say both mcafee and symantec rest on their laurels. The best antivirus software out there right now is nod32.www.nod32uk.com

Talkback I have owned several computers and anything by Norton is not on any of them. I have had nothing but trouble with all Norton products and have not used any since 1999. Norton does not work very well on Windows machines.

Why You Should Ditch Norton AntiVirus
Talkback I think Symantec has everyone beat on the definition files, but the software is slow and a process hog. I'd have to agree with a number of posts about AVG as the ultimate solution. Although I do have concerns for the virus definitions and how up to...

Why You Should Ditch Norton AntiVirus

Why You Should Ditch Norton AntiVirus
Talkback We've been long time users and VARs of Symantec and were very reluctant to change. The long and short of it was that we ended up trying out eScan and soon found ourselves sorting out issues on customers PC and their networks (already protected with...
