It would be good if new UI themes could be added, lighter ones will be greatly appriciated because the dark themes are sometimes boring.

also if norton power eraser could be somehow integrated that would be cool.

Sandbox.

HTTP-scanner.

Faster updates for new malware (although this could be implemented asap).

Something other than the black theme. Come on!

Norton 2011 like identiy safe management.

Faster scan times (I'm sure you can streamline the scan time back to under a minute or three).

Is it toooo much to ask that Norton be given/sold with English as a boot up option with EVERY version in the world?

That way if you are abroad in a non-english country you can use Norton, without having to get a copy posted across continents.

You would increase the English speaking world that way also?

Locals would still buy it.

:smileywink:

I have other ideas; but dont give em away for free.

Hmmm...

1) Virtual Sandboxing for browsers;

2) Ability to run an independant rootkit scan;

3) A time indication to tell the user how long there is left on a manual Full System Scan / Quick Scan;

4) Support for 64-bit systems :smileywink:

I could think of some more, but those four shall be my contribution for today ^_^

Ta!

Better yet how long has elapsed since the start of the scan.

Nice posting snowstorm, I'm glad someone took the time to ask.First of all Norton has been doing an excelent job in my 360. I haven't had one problem with this install at all.:smileyvery-happy:...Second I'll hand you a few good idea's;:smileysurprised: Somthing original like sponsoring new work's in play like the steam valve engine for multi-player gameing. Secure gaming in the New Age of up coming Cloud with complete Ray Tracing High Definition. That sound's pretty Exciting doesn't it?:smileywink:P.C. Platforming in Gameing write now's goin Duel Quad or larger for standard's. So I figure in the future for turbo boost would be transfer rates.That would be pretty cool:smileyhappy:......Any good comment's on the Idea feel free to post me......Sincerly Shardstride.....

MAKE YOUSELF A MINT ?

Probably not related to Norton; but as you have a Norton BackUp facility......it might be an idea.

I and many other people have accidentally ended up with hundreds if not thousands of files whose names are tooooooooooooo long.

I CANNOT back up unless I shorten all these names. But they are all over my computer.

It would be nice to have a back-up system that shortens the name to the right number of characters; then shortens it by 5 then adds a counter (1-to-9,999).

Then you can back up.

Rather than spend months finding each file name and shortening it manually.

**bleep**, did I not protect that idea?

Oh well; I got hundreds more ideas and conceptual designs.

Find me.

As other users have mentioned about 64-bit. I would like to thank you for the great work you have done regarding performance and memory footprint, but I think in general this should be revisited. With the computer hardware that is available with newer machines, ie: greater than 4 GB of memory, 7200/10000/SSD hard drives, multi-core processors. Especially with the features that allow for "auto" silent mode such as AOE Online, etc, you should be more aggressive with the Live Updates and scanning considering available resources of these machines.

When present a message about an application using too many resources, you should provide an option to ignore that message in the future for that application.

Lastly, another user mentioned HTTP scanning, I use a product called AdMuncher, which works under Firefox, Chrome, IE, Opera, Yahoo Messenger, etc. via the HTTP protocol and strips ads and other junk from reaching the computer. They are working on HTTPS scanning as well. **** I think you should buy them *** and imbed their functional into NIS.

More free ideas? norton must be laughing at mugs like me...?

How about something to stop pretty new computers from freezing up every few minutes?

Over a hundred times I have had to pull the plug and battery on my new 3D i7 NVidia Laptop running nuthin but MS Office, Chrome and Norton in Win 7 x64-bit Ultimate..

Its a real teaser when even Ctrl, Alt, Del doesnt even function.

Tosh even replaced my hard drive which fixed nothing.

I spent 200 hours of my time trying to source solutions online. Seems many thousands of newish computers are freezing up.

What can Norton do? Even if it is a Chrome conflict with 64-bit Windows?

Close programs what freeze a computer? Forcing updates from manufacturers?

I dont mind not using or finding an alternative to a freezer program.

Also;

AllowToCreate memory limits for any one program to use? So no warnings about them using too many resources? etc

I have Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate and run Chrome Dev and Chrome Canary daily.. However I am on a HP 180T Desktop. My video card is ATI

Norton can't stop the freezes if they aren't the one causing it. Not can any program block freezes if it is hardware related.

What about the Event Log? Bios Update? CD/DVD in the drive when it happens? Does the hard drive actually make a noise when it happens? Excessive heat?

Re: what would you like too see in norton 2013???

rogerthat1945 — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 04:30:24 GMT

Will respond to this....

What about the Event Log?

No "event log" appeared. Couldnt even get Ctrl, Alt, Del. Frozen 10plus-minutes. Disconnec. Re-boot.

Bios Update?

It is a relatively brand new computer; all I did was install office 2007. Norton and Google Chrome. Also; i am in Japan and connot find a Bios update IN ENGLISH. Or Japanese. Toshiba UK/USA/Australia do not recognise this model.

CD/DVD in the drive when it happens?

No; empty.

Does the hard drive actually make a noise when it happens?

No; silence; can occasionally hear number crunching from the chip if I hold the laptop underside to my ear.

Excessive heat?

No; Installed Speccy to find that out.

I have Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate and run Chrome Dev and Chrome Canary daily.. However I am on a HP 180T Desktop. My video card is ATI

I Did notice thousands? of other PC users are having a similar problem. On Win 7 x64-Nit and using Chrome. Miostly. Googled.

Norton can't stop the freezes if they aren't the one causing it. Not can any program block freezes if it is hardware related.

I think it is hardware/software related; as I do not believe Toshiba would ship out faulty computers; and they shipped it back to me with a new hard-drive after two months?

Its another MS enigma? It will stop me buying another con-puter until I have seen a hundred ACE reviews about it.

Ever heard of 'Whack a Mole'?

How about 'whack a tech support guy'., that would be really cool when you've wasted hours watching them mess your machine up trying to fix stuff when it goes wrong! Be good to have an animated character on your desktop so the tech guy can see how frustrated you are with him.

Actually, why not do away with tech support all together and just pay the guys & gals on the forums, they certainly do a better job!

My experience anyway. :smileyvery-happy:

Hola! para la proxima actualizacion tener en cuenta: en Argentina los distintos proveedores de telefonia movil Claro, Movistar y Personal comercializan planes con numeros a los cuales yo puedo llamar en forma gratuita. Esto no esta contemplado en el "Usage" de la aplicacion, por ende, contabiliza los minutos y mensajes que yo puedo usar en forma gratuita y asi no puedo controlar realmente el uso. La cuestion es que las compañias asignan hasta 10 numeros gratuitos, los cuales al ser de familiares y amigos se usan continuamente. Entonces pido que la proxima actualizacion contemple la posibilidad de poder cargar esos numeros gratis asi, cuando hablo o envio mensajes, estos no son contabilizados y por ende deducidos de mi plan de servicio. Gracias y cuaquier consulta me preguntan. Saludos!

LiveUpdates that actually complete! NIS 2012 19.2.0.10 LiveUpdate failed to complete messages are most annoying.
