Software Name: Norton Internet Security 2004
Software Main Type: Security
Strengths: A previous positive experience with Norton
Weakness: The entire product.
My experience began with upgrading my old Norton product. My first clue appeared when I couldn't oder from their online site. I finally called their "store" and after a commuciations exercise, I was finally allowed to purchase a copy. Unlike others, I had no problem installing the software, but after installation the problems began to appear. I began experiencing frequent hang-ups with IE 6.0,...
Strengths: None that I have found other than relying on the Norton name and past reputation.
Weakness: Functionality, imcompatibility and ease of configuration
Norton 2004 came preloaded on my HP Pavilion. I first found that my email would not work although set up properly. This was traced to the Norton firewall which was disabled - trouble was that it popped up again every time I shut down and rebooted requiring manual disabling. When I tried to go thru the Norton menu, it locked up, would not function and denied access to firewall options. I...
Strengths: The Norton Name and reputation
Weakness: Very difficult to load and operate
I attempted to load the program and it didnot accept the product code printed on the lable. after 3 tries it was accepted. (to my dismay)Everything was a problem from there. I was unable to access my e-mail, the pc started "hanging", I had to keep rebooting and praying. I tried to uninstall the program to no avail. I tried to restore to a previous date where the system operated properly and could...
Strengths: Reputation of Norton
Weakness: Failure to meet expectation of reputation. Instability. Failure in install on one machine.
I upgraded from NIS 2003 to NIS 2004- professional on one machine, and personal version on another. (WinXP SP2) Both installs were buggy and required uninstallation and reinstallation several times. The uninstallation process is very complex, and only automated if everthing is working correctly (in which case you do not need to uninstall). Both installs interfered with proper operation of Eudora...
Strengths: The box is attractive
Weakness: You need an IT department to clean up your computer after installation. 2003 works just as well
Purchased 2 weeks ago and have regretted every minute of it. The install process hangs repeatedly and you have to un-install and re-install to finally get it to work. "Work" is a term I use advisedly since I could never tell what NIS 2004 was supposed to be doing. Even Live Update caused the program to crash. I did find out the hard way that every time I had a problem with NIS 2004 it was making...
Strengths: Seems to be adequate for what it is supposed to be.
Weakness: Lack of adjustability. Few choices on operating procedures. Difficult to adjust and understand. LITTLE OR NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT WITHOUT PAYING $30.00!!!!
Norton Internet Security 2004 seems to be adequate and as advertised. IF you own another Norton/Symantec Product such as System Works Pro 2003, BE PREPARED FOR A GRUELING INSTALL..THEN YOUR SYSTEM WORKS 2003 Professional Program WILL NOT RE-INSTALL OR WORK PROPERLY! These people MUST think they are Microsoft as COMPLICATED as this install is when you have OTHER NORTON PRODUCT(S)! You NEED TO BE...
Strengths: The antivirus and firewall work well.
Weakness: Anti-Spam, Auto-Protect
I had bought Norton anti-virus 2003 and thought it worked extremely well. On several occasions it saved my computer from a major infection. When my subscription was up, I decided to buy Internet Security 2004 so I could have both the firewall and antivirus on one disc. There were problems right from the start. While the install went smoothly, there were almost no options as far as what the user...

Strengths: It functions most of the time but has serious errors when it does not.
Weakness: D.R.M. in this product makes it not worth upgrading from previous versions.
I upgraded from Internet Security 2003 to 2004. It is not worth the money to upgrade to this product due to the digital rights management now built into it. You have to register it for it to function or it dies in 15 days. Buy the 2003 version and you can install it without having to activate it as many times as needed. When the SPAM tool fails it knocks out your email and causes the system to...
Weakness: Lacks the ability to work on AMD processor platforms.
Program bogs down any process less than 750 MHz when the box claims it can work on a process of 133 MHz. They also fail to tell you before you buy that the program has a problem with AMD processors. Store will not take it back now that I have opened the package and put it on my machine. Another problem is that customer support sucks. They only deal with you for free over email with a 5 day...

Very disappointed
Strengths: Had been using it with no problems since 2000
Weakness: Everything this time around
I was completely satisfied with Norton's 2000-2004 antivirus products. Then came 2005....I had to disable the firewall, and now it won't even give me the option to enable it even if I wanted to. Worst of all, it will not run an automatic weekly scan as I have programmed it to. No matter what I do it just doesn't work. I called their so-called phone support only to get someone from India who...
