symantec review
First off let me qualify my review a bit: I’m a software developer and systems architect. I have a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.A. in Mathematics. It’s safe to say I know my way around my own computer.
That said, I regret ever purchasing this software and wish I had stuck to any number of freely available antivirus solutions out there that are far less full. Rest assured, I have since uninstalled this software, but I’m still out the cash.
Because my livelihood and my consulting business depends on the performance and stability of my systems, I keep my computers – especially those I use for development – in absolute pure shape. There is never any unnecessary software installed, drives are never fragmented, and only the necessary services are running.
Unfortunately, installing Norton Antivirus 2008 has brought my productivity and efficiency to an absolute screeching halt. Immediately prior to installing the software, my system would boot in 15 – 20 seconds. It now takes 5 minutes, and no, I am not exaggerating. It boots to Windows XP in approximately 2 to 3 minutes, but the system isn’t usable – due to whatever the heck Norton is trying to do in the background – for another 2 minutes or so. I’ve tried numerous configurations of the software, such as disabling real-time scanning, etc., but to no avail.
I’m sure bounty will assume I’m trying to run this on a Pentium II 233MHz (and since installing this software, that’s what it feels like), so here are my system specs:
- Intel E6600 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo
- 2GB Corsair low-latency RAM
- eVGA 8800GTS
- Windows XP Pro
Performance never has been, and should not be, any problem whatsoever.
Norton needs to know that people don’t buy computers just so they have the privilege of by Norton Antivirus. We buy computers for personal and financial reasons. We use your software out of necessity. Our computing needs and desires do not center around YOUR software. You need to find a way to get this garbage to run without bringing very capable systems to their knees.

NAV 2008 works well after a few days of being installed on my system. I have never experienced (knock on wood) many of the problems experienced by some here, year after year. I have been a user of this since 2001 and can report no such similar problems; in fact, over the years Norton has caught several viruses before they may possibly do hurt to my system.
That being said, the one exchange made to NAV this year which I do not like at all, is the inability to choose exactly which updates you want to download, as was possible with NAV 2007. You are able to view Details of what is downloaded AFTER the download process is complete and done, but not in anticipation of then. There are times when an install of an update conflicts with something on your system, and you may need revert the drive and install it at a later time. This years’ version does not give you that option! It austerely runs through the update process and informs you when everything is downloaded. I do not like companies which treat the consumer as a child and reflect they know what is best for you and your system. I do not necessarily install Microsoft “critical” updates any just because Microsoft says to; as many (IE7 being the most notable) are not critical, but Microsoft wants you to install them. I will have to deduct one star for Symantec taking this backward step.
One day these companies will learn that consumers should be free to pick and choose precisely what goes onto their system.
I bought AntiVirus 2008 because my current system is running a Norton Product, which seems to be a huge problem switching from one vendor to another as they seem to leave remnants of the ancient software behind that can make conflicts. Immediately I was no longer able to access the internet or my email. My ISP verified that the firewall was blocking all access to the internet and gave me Symantec’s 800 number. The phone system is designed to deny any caller from speaking to an actual person. They repeatedly questioned me to go to their website to map why their product had caused so many problems, which was obviously impossible. Once I figured out to bypass this, I was told that I may possibly not receive any type of help without paying for support (although I had just paid for their product which caused the need for this support). I was told phone support would cost $9.95 which they insisted that I supply a credit card number for to go any farther. Once I paid up, they did have a technician remotely access my system and delete all remnants of this product and install a fix. This took approximately 2 hours.
I just check my credit card weigh and the technician exciting me $69.95 to repair their flawed $40.00 program.
Steer clear is my advice!
After by Norton antivirus for several years on multiple computers with no problems and the 2006 version ever since it came out, also with no problems, I thought it would be fascinating to see what the state of the art was in antivirus software so I did some investigate on the Internet. Generally, Norton gets decent reviews on most web sites but Kaspersky was often rated higher so I thought I would try it since my Norton subscription was expiring in a few days anyhow. I ordered Kaspersky version 6.0 from Amazon for $50 with a $50 rebate and I thought it doesn’t get any better than that. I uninstalled Norton and after installing Kaspersky, my computer continuously restarted. The manual tells what to do in such an event but their solution didn’t work. I called their tech support and spent two hours on the phone trying to right the problem. I downloaded and ran the Norton uninstaller, I downloaded and ran the Kaspersky uninstaller, I downloaded and installed Kaspersky version 7.0. We tried everything that the tech may possibly reflect of, same problem. I questioned him if this was a common problem and he said yes even even if the manual says it is rare. It was late in the day and I was tired from the effort so I questioned the tech if we may possibly continue the next day and he said he would call me at 8 a.m. the next morning. Well, I’ve been around awhile and I doubted that he would call, and he didn’t. After reviewing everything I had read about antivirus software and considering my experience with Norton, I downloaded and installed Norton antivirus 2008. It was simple and it’s working perfectly. I’m sure that Kaspersky is brilliant software if it works for you, but it didn’t work for me and I’m not attracted in going to all the effort it would require to try to make it work. I can count on one hand the number of times I have needed tech support for hardware or software so the fact that Norton charges for tech support is not vital to me since I’ve never needed it anyhow. I may try a different program someday, something like Nod 32 if they fix their interface, but for now I’m going to go by the ancient adage “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”.
