I for one am getting very tired of waiting for Norton by Symantec to fix an issue that many have complained about. I've been using their software for at least 10 yrs, and just recently I started looking for another AV/FW. I am also prepared to make statements of my experience (along with all links to this evidence) to Consumer Affairs, BBB, RipOffReports, and any others that want to hear the complaints.
The problem is that NIS2012 is only allowing up to 100 files to be blocked by the Network in their Program Control. Once you hit over that 100 and you try to access the Program Control it causes the framework to CRASH.
The next problem is that if we do our best to keep that under 100 (which we shouldn't have to) "depending" on your setttings/options for NIS- it itself adds programs to the program control list (which it should) and this can EASILY bring you over 100.
It has been MONTHS and nothing has been done to fix this issue. I've been on with their Techs REMOTELY over 3 times and each time they say to MANUALLY remove all Norton Files, Run the Norton Removal Tool, and Re-install. They have done this themselves several times for me and EACH TIME the problem is NOT fixed. THEIR OWN SUPPORT doesn't even know there is a problem (sure seems that way).
It almost is like they are doing this on purpose -- they do NOT want us to have the control over what programs can and cannot access the net. Sounds like they are in bed with the RIAA, MPAA, MS, Adobe, and more!
I am going to post links and I ask that anyone whom reads this CHECKS their own program to see if they can access their Program Control Settings AFTER you have 100 added to the list. IF you have an issue after you hit that 100 mark will you PLEASE support the majority of us whom complained here? You can do this by calling, writing, and making yourself heard on the public access sites that matter.

And please do not patronize me on this post because I am just simply FED UP! Please feel free to pass this on to all the minions that matter at Symantec.
