I have 2 PCs (desktop and Notebook) on which I've installed NIS 2010 and both of them having issues now to the extent that I need to reinstall OS on them !!!!
1. Issues with my Notebook. This is Windows XP Pro Notebook. I use to run NIS 2009 on it and it fail to perform scheduled scans. I uninstalled it (using Norton removal tool) and Installed NIS 2010. Since then every time I connect my Windows mobile phone to it ActiveSync crashes together with windows and displaying blue screen of death !!!!!!
2. Issues with my desktop. This is Windows XP 2005 media center Edition. I use to run NIS 2006 on it and it fail to download Automatic virus definitions on it. After upgrading to NIS 2010 it no longer showing me all the TSR icons in the task bar (although it loading all TSR programs) on startup. And also it hangs when "Slideshow premium" windows media edition screen saver is starts and I have to reboot the machine all the time.
I've been using Norton software for over 20 years now (since the beginning of when Pitter Norton introduced Norton Commander and Norton utilities for DOS) and did not expect such a BAD BAD quality from the Norton products.
I'll be uninstalling all Norton products from my PCs as well as from my friend's PCs (whom I always recommended to buy Norton) and switching to AVG or NOD32 or Kaspersky. I'll also make sure that I post my horror story on all relevant blogs !!!
