why then can other venders put in their main products and not end up with bloathed products ? A lot of people brought INS and found that they had now antispam etc and want it built in. This just tells me that your programmers. just cant do it
I don't see this as a question of Norton can't do it.
Although I myself use and value Norton AntiSpam, many many people that I know prefer to use a system that blocks the spam on the server of their ISP and does not download it to their PC.
This has the advantage of reduced download time and not filling up the hard drive (and not exposing me to malware in the spam) but I prefer to visually check the stuff labeled as Spam in case I find something I need -- this tends to happen a lot with any change in definitions, and don't mind marking stuff as Spam when it comes through unsorted.
In particular I go through the Spam folder for any phishing emails and Forward it to the genuine site (or the Government).
Those are my preferences -- yours may differ. Norton Live Update does update the Spam definitions along with virus definitions so once you install it you don't have to download again.

I remember purchasing Norton AntiSpam as a program with a separate installation. Now it's free for owners of N360 and NIS. That is progress no?
Depends on your POV ....
But I'm not the one with a problem on this.
Why do we always have to down load the Ad -onpack each time you put out a new version, why cant antispam etc be built in to the main produt if all the other venders can do it why cant symantec do it or is this been put on the too hard to do list or is this the only way they can make a none bloated version. i have been using norton,s write back when peter norton was doing it it was great every one liked it but when he soild it to symantec your products have gone down hill in a bigway maybe you need to peter norton back to help you fix up your products
I dont have a problem with is but their are still people asking where is antispam etc .if the isp can block it and you can trust that now spam can get through why have antispam blocker in the adonpack in the first place
For the reasons I gave -- some people like one solution and some like another. Norton gives us a choice.
Even VISTA does not come with everything possible included, thank heavens.
so why cant it be added to the main product so people can have a choice to install it if they want it insteed of having to down load it from the web site because some people do"nt have fast internet Norton dose not give us a choice .back in version 2000 they did it so why cant they do it for the new versions

There was talk that the purchased CD would include the ad-on pack as a separate install, similar to what Symantec did with Norton Cleansweep and Password Manager
Symantec just made the choice for us.
Probably marketing reasons. But it is free and you are still able to download and install. Doesn't seem like a big problem to me
NO it wont be big problem you youve got high speed internet i dont have high speed internet thats why only dial up we dont have fast internet in newzealand we get our internet througth old copper wires which is very slow.
So will the INS 2009 have the ad on pack on the purchased CD or will we still have to down load it from symantecs web site because i dont have high speed internet and it takes for ever on dial up .

If you had mentioned that at the beginning people might have understood why you kept on repeating the same point despite explanations.
You have a valid point about including it on the CD but I'd still like to see it as an optional add-on and not included in the main installation despite using it myself -- I gave the reasons why others prefer to stop the spam at source (and that reason is even more strong in your case of not having hi-speed internet (although one can get it over copper wires by DSL for example).
With low speed internet the last thing you want is to spend time downloading stuff you want put into a junk folder!
Anyhow, I'm sure that Norton Staff read everything here and will see the basis of your request.

Please remember that unless you see the Norton symbol -- yellow disk as on the Norton desktop icons etc -- against our name we are not Norton staffers and we know no more than you do about the future plans for Norton products.
BTW Since it is a free download if you know someone with hi-speed internet -- DSL or satellite or even cable in a different country -- you could ask them to download it and burn it to a CD for you.
I can recall this discussion during beta testing and the same complaint was mentioned. I do believe the testing moderator said the ad-on was going to be located on the purchased CD (as a separate install) Help me here Tony…

This is a great idea, and I’ve given this information to the product teams for review. Thanks a lot!
Not everyone wants to use the Add on pack. besides that this way Norton doesn’t become bloathed
