User Reviews for Symantec Norton Internet Security 2005 (Full Product, PC)

Reviewed by: Peterm1

Duration of ownership: 1 Month

Strengths: None that I can fiind becasue the **** thing blocks all of my important interent connections

Weaknesses: Impossible to uninstall without causing fatal errors that require a system reinstallation. IF YOU SEE A PC PREPACKAGED WITH THIS PRODUCT- RUN A MILE TO AVOID IT, IT IS TOTAL CRAP Even the IT help desk guys I ring to try to help me (eg from HP on which computer it was installed) tell me that they have nothing but problems with it. CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP do not buy.

Overall Evaluation: minus 45 for a product that causes nothing but problems, arbitrarily blocks important applications from accessiing the internet wihtout asking and with almost insurmountable difficulty to rectify and WILL not uninstalll without causing problems.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: None

Weaknesses: Very poor installation process, never got got it working, could not 'uninstall it'

Overall Evaluation: I have never had so much problems trying to remove software from a PC. I'm a network administrator with years of experience and one of the users here at the company brought me her home PC to 'reinstall Norton 2005'. I thought it would be a joke, I was really wrong. I tried the add/remove (Norton was not there), I used regedit to completely remove all occurences of Norton and Symantec, I erased everything on the local drive with Norton and Symantec in it, I even booted with msconfig options set. NO LUCK. Norton support was 'reinstall'. I tried. I don't want to reformat and reinstall everything. I would only recommend this product to my competitors.
