    ..because on every computer I've had to work on that was running NIS going back over many years,:-

    1. it's always been a resource hog,
    Not so sure that is totally true
    2. with a bl00dy awful user interface,
    Cosmetics
    3. important stuff like where's the "stop scan" button and "turn off real-time protection" (for running combofix when NIS has allowed the machine to get badly infected) have been sadly lacking,
    More or less agree but GJ it is a big but, old butt , the user allowed the machine to get infected not norton, let's face it the best A/V lies between the ears
    4. and not wanting to allow access to safe sites (and I don't mean just warning, I mean totally blocking).
    Never seen that .....

    sorry, it just doesn't cut it, and you want people to pay for it?? Most of the users I've seen with it are older,

    I am old GJ, but the reasons for me to use it are nowt to do with ->>> and have been almost scared into buying it with their pc/laptop by unscrupulous salespeople (often from a well-known high street retailer)
    GJ :cool: read above for my thoughts :p

    Thank you for your feedback!

    Can you tell me the Norton product version you have tried or removed from the computer you have worked on? Did you try any of our latest versions to see how they perform?

    I request you to try any of our latest versions and see the performance!

    Thanks!
