1.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly bad installation program, May 16, 2006

This review is from: Norton AntiVirus 2006 Protection Pack - 3 User (CD-ROM)

I spent 3 days trying to get this installed. I think the complication was that I had Norton Systemworks 2005 and wanted to add the NAV 2006 on top of it. Well I finally got it done, but not until I'd restored my system to a backup from before I'd installed NSW 2005. At that point I had NSW 2003 installed. I had to manually uninstall that and remove tons of entries from the registry. Norton's automated uninstall failed over and over so I gave up on that and did it by hand. Then I installed NSW 2005 with NAV. When I went to install NAV 2006 it was unable to uninstall the old version. So I had to restore the system again. This time I installed NSW 2005 without NAV. I was then able to install NAV 2006. It is working now. It just shouldn't be this difficult!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Easy To Install and Works Great, March 21, 2006

This review is from: Norton AntiVirus 2006 Protection Pack - 3 User (CD-ROM)

I was able to install this on 3 computers without incident. The computers had older version of NAV, and I just de-installed those copies, rebooted, and then installed NAV 2006. Piece of cake on Windows XP Home.

I assume it is working great because I have no viruses, and it has stopped Spyware on several ocasions.

I like that it updates itself with new Virus files, and can also be sceduled to do a weekly full scan during off hours.

1.0 out of 5 stars Customer Service is an Oxymoron, May 12, 2006

This review is from: Norton AntiVirus 2006 Protection Pack - 3 User (CD-ROM)

Bought the 3pack for home use. Installed it on two pc's and then had defective a defective new pc that it was installed on and removed. NOW, it won't let me activate on the new computer - their system is flawed!!!! They want me to mail in original invoice, unlock code and disk and THEN they'll see what they want to do. This will all take at least 2 to 3 weeks, in the meantime there is no protection on this computer. HAAAAA!

They really need to have a specific code for each activation so that it updates to the active computer it is being used on - they really could figure this out. They're taking the easy way out and getting more $$$ in the process.

This combined with all other slow down issues, I'm switching to ZONE Suite, as I've used Zone Alarm for years and it is great.

Best of luck.
