Problems with Norton 2009
November 20, 2008
I, too, upgraded to 2009 and now my computer constantly locks up. I have disabled Norton permanently until I can (hopefully) get back to Norton 2008. Very disappointed.
need a zero star option

I also took advantage of the offer to upgrade my NAV2008 with a few months left in my license. That was several days ago and I'm still fighting. It won't run and won't uninstall. It loads a few processes and hangs - for at least 8 hours (then I killed the processes). Even when it's as turned off as I can get it it won't let me access the pop server I use for email. I'm not an IT professional, but I have been using these things since the dual 360k floppy - pre hard disk - days and been my own IT resource. I've never been this stumped - or irritated. (I have a recent dual-processor Dell with lots of RAM and disk space).

This edition is Basic solid protection at a good price. Excellent for a more than one computer in the same house.
Norton AV Good as Usual

This is one of the most economical ways to buy this product if your house has more than 1 computer.
Finally fixed their problems

Symantec finally fixed the problem of their software hogging the computer. I had given up on them. Formerly it seemed they forgot that their software was not the center of the universe and performance really mattered to the end user. A brutal sales decline got their attention, and the software is now a good citizen, you hardly know it is there, just as it should be.
