Norton Internet Security 2004 review

Friday 20 August 2004, 11:49 AM

Send it back!


Built a new PC from motherboard up with Windows XP Home. Thank God for System Restore!

Installed SystemWorks 2003 Pro, and when I hit the reboot button at the end of the install my PC locked up -- it had reset all my BIOS and OS settings back to default. Access to the Internet via dial-up modem was OK, until I downloaded updates from Symantec -- then could not connect to the Web at all until after System Restore.

Tried Internet Security 2004 but restarted PC from start menu -- everything was OK until updates were installed, then had same problems all over again.

Frustrated? yes, but more annoyed at the lack of support/help from the Symantec site. I used the above products because of years of successful use of SystemWorks 2001 Pro and Windows 98SE.

It definitely pays to check reviews before purchasing, which is something I did not do.
