 Norton Internet Security 2004 can no longer be installed April 22, 2007
C. Quarton
We used Norton Internet Security 2003 (NIS 2003) to filter the internet for our children. After doing a Windows XP SP2 reinstall recently we tried to reinstall NIS 2003 again and the program crashed after the first on-line update. Reinstalled Windows again, purchased a like new NIS 2004 CD, and the same thing happened. We tried a fresh installs a total of five times before giving up, and neither Norton program will work anymore.
It would not surprise me if Norton purposely now breaks these older programs, trying to force people to purchase a newer product. Their "Knowledge Base" for the error code took me directly to a Norton 2007 sales pitch page.
Norton used to be respectable, but now they are just a very sleazy company. There are better choices.
 Great Software February 23, 2006

I've had none of the problems these previous people are speaking of. I had a new Dell with this installed and never had a problem. It sounds as if these people don't know a thing about software. Oh well. Great product!
Easily cripples network connections for novice users December 5, 2004

I've done ISP tech support since 1998. Of all the firewalls I've seen the various versions of Norton Internet Security have caused more crippled connecitons than any other.
I get calls weekly where disabling or uninstalling Norton Internet Security resolves problems with connectivity. I'm not sure if it's the becausethe program is just poorly designed or it if it's just poor help and tutorial info with it.
But the end result is that this program has cost my employers huge resource drains in supporting Norton's customers, and cost my users countless hours of time wasted troubleshooting issues with thios software, and days of lost network access. I also know someone working an a major univeristy that found that this was a source of problems in how their pop-up stopper re-wrote HTML code in web pages it was filtering and caused applications they'd built to fail.
There are free firewalls you can download that are as effective and easier to use. This one can cause far more trouble than it's worth.
Sadly -- lost integrity September 4, 2004

I have been using Norton products only since about1986, but I'm ready to switch. All manner of problems with this program never seen in previous editions. Instructions and support seriously inadequate at all levels.
I have used this version on two machines -- spent days trying to clean a botched installation [I believe not by me, but the installation program] on one machine. Now a month-old installation an a new desktop is failing. Spent hours with "knowledge" base and incomprehensible advice. Then, for a $29.95 phone call, received numerous recorded "we are too busy to talk to you even if you pay us." Then, a rude and sarcastic rep, who dumped my into an uninstall routine that failed, disconnected my call, and refused to hear symptoms.
What happened?! August 10, 2004

I bought Norton Internet Security 2004 after I got a VIRUS that NAV 7 corporate edition couldn't detect or remove. I thought upgrading the 4 year old program would help. Nope! Norton detects Trojan.Bookmarker.Gen but even in Dos mode is unable to fix it. It turns out that I got an advanced form of the Cool web search trojan/spyware. Well Norton seems to care less. I emailed them about the problem with no response after 2 months. They used to let you submit a new virus discovery but I couldn't find anything anywhere on their site about reporting new viruses.
What happened!?
I guess I could pay them by calling their highly over priced help line to tell them their program sucks but they already have too much of my money.
And what is it with these guys claiming that because it is spyware it is not a virus. If a program hides itself, alters files without permission, and otherwise takes control of your system without your permission, I'm sorry it's a virus. And the leading Anti-virus software should do their job to make their software do what it's supposed to do, eliminate uninvited software(period). Stop passing the responsibility to Spyware removers. It's a virus, plain and simple.
No, I didn't install any freeware, only MS, Adobe, Macromedia, Mozilla, and Norton software. Like someone else said, get McAfee Antivirus and Zone Alarm, not this piece of worthless junk.
Am I alone in this sentiment? (...)
