I spent $60 on this product to remove some spyware that got onto a friend’s system. During the scan it kept displaying an error telling me to uninstall using a special uninstall tool. The downloader provided to get the tool did not work. I could not properly uninstall the product to address the issue.
When scanning the system Norton 2010 did not remove a series of viruses. An example is Backdoor.TidServ.
The package states that it includes technical support. So I called them and found the support is paid technical support. They wanted to charge me $99, or more, to correct the issues.
Norton 2009 was very good. I strongly suggest passing by the 2010 version.

Product would not install. Symantec tech support remotely connected and their work in the registry rendered my system completely inoperable and unusable. Syamntec consumer services would not provide solution or other compensation for damages incurred. The worst consumer support I have ever encountered; over 7 hours on the phone with no solution and a computer that no does not work.
I would caution anyone purchasing this product that there are potential issues, especially if you have other Symantec products loaded on your system. Do some independent research online prior purchasing this product and you’ll most likely explore alternatives.

Norton Internet Security is by far the most annoying, bothersome software I have ever used! Of ANY kind! Popups, popups, and more popups! It’s actually almost as distracting as one of those weight-loss ads that shoves the image of 400 pounds of ass-blubber in your face. The interruptions are CONSTANT with default settings, and when you finally get annoyed enough to go check out customizing the settings, you’ll find you CAN NOT shut it up, not even for a day! Only for 6 hours. Sorry, but for me, having to schedule my focused work around Norton is Simply Not Acceptable.
If you care at all about focus and concentration, (and therefore, the quality of your work), STAY AWAY FROM SYMANTEC and NORTON! (And, I guess about a hundred other software companies, for that matter)!
After finding some other Anti-Virus software, do yourself a favor and go track down the last great free firewall, Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6, before Symantec bought them out years ago and turned it into this garbage!
Say it with me, people… “No to Nor-ton! No to Nor-ton!”

Last year I used Karsparsky Internet Suite, did a great job! I always check out the latest reviews from PC Magazine before I either renew a security product so I can try to stay with the top rated product. The review for the Norton Internet Security 2010 suite, Beta version was excellent! Well I made a mistake and purchased it, and have had problems ever since, slow computer startup and crashes!! Never had this problem before with Kasparsky! I plan to garbage can Norton and go back to Karsparsky!!
BEWARE OF THE NORTON 2010!!!

Let me first say that I had been a HUGE fan of Norton Internet Security (NIS), even after it let a virus and key logger into my computer, but that was an older version (though I always updated my definitions). I then upgraded to 2010 and it did find and repair the problem, or so I thought. My laptop was running slow, but I just thought it was NIS. Well, recently I had another attack that NIS said it fixed, but this time I was concerned because I could not enter into Safe Mode. NIS said I was clean. I deleted it and reinstalled and updated it and still it said I was clean. Well, I decided to try Kaspersky 2009 (which had I removed because it took so long to get updates and scan). I installed and sure enough I had problems. Not one, not two, how about 27 different worms, viruses, keyloggers, etc. I do know how long they were there, but I had to change all of my passwords (from a different computer). Using a variety of programs, including MalawareBytes and Kaspersky (which I updated and got 2010…which I love, btw) I was able to clean most of it. It took me 9 days to clean everything, and I mean it took a long time. Perhaps someone with more knowledge and ability could have done it faster, but I don’t think by much. The worst part is that NIS does not have phone support (unless you pay), and worse, since you aleady paid for the protection, you will have to pay again for them to take care of the problem that they couldn’t protect in the first place. I have no confidence at all with NIS. Also, it slows you down a lot, even when running in the background. There is freeware/shareware out there that is much better, e.g. Malawarebytes, and Kaspersky 2010 was great for me. Others may be happy with NIS (as I once was), but now I have no confidence in it and cannot recommend it as it has let in so much. I should note that I am very careful with what I open and do not open anything remotely unknown, even forwarded messages from friends…I also had the email scanner on, so, go figure. I can tell you that if it werent’ for these experiences, I would still be a big fan. So far, I am doing fine with the others I have mentioned. We’ll see what happens. Honestly though, MB is so far the best, IMHO, in removing and detecting.
