I posted a of couple times about the 'Framework' problem that rendered my computer unprotected from an Internet security aspect. It seems that this specific problem is not just something that I have to deal with, as other's have commented on the same problem, which seems to be intertwined through a number of threads in this forum. It would be great if someone could consolidate the different threads that have the 'Framework' problem as the main topic discussed.
I decided to post to the one that had the words in the thread title that I could associate with as it relates to what I am experiencing.
This posting may be another thread in someone's view that should be consolidated, if that is correct then this should be moved to an appropriate thread that deals with this specific problem.
I also noticed that some folks took the time to 'banter' with each other. I am not sure if that was something related to societal 'relevance', or not. I find this somewhat disappointing, but I do not control those types of situations. I have hope that this forum will be of great assistance to my knowledge base regarding Norton products. People post for many reasons, and this is good for Symantec's existing customer base, or a potential customer whom may use the information to either compare to their own experiences, or to make a purchasing decision as to what product they might invest in.
Anyway, I find myself, at this point not able to use the product that I purchased which is Norton Internet Security 2009. I paid money for this product and I reasonably expected that patches or updates would be released over time of usage. Due to this particular 'Framework' problem being posted on the forum I am left with the thought that a 'user' may have first brought this forward and Symantec did not know of the problem before. However, Symantec should have already had knowledge of this problem, as it directly effects their customer base, and have already released a fix for it. Ultimately I really don't care who first broached this problem, what I care about is a fix for it. There has to be a great number of Symantec resources or problem resolution teams that can address this quickly and secure their company's product reputation in the market place.
As of now I don't see anything about a fix being completed and made available for all of Symantec/Norton Internet Security 2009 users.
If this fix is available now I would certainly appreciate it if someone would enlighten this forum, and all of the NIS 2009 users, so that they can use the NIS 2009 product with confidence. It's quite possible that I personally am not aware of a fix being completed, as my remedy for this problem was to install Trend Micro's PRO suite, on a 30 day trial basis, until such a fix was issued for this, and any other problems that have gained significant attention as this one has.
I believe that NIS 2009 has a great GUI and is easy to use, of course not being able to use it as I intended makes it difficult to sustain the thought that I made a worthy investment, or not.
I also see that Spy Sweeper is under some duress in this forum. I recently purchased a computer and had planned on using Norton and as was offered as an option, Spy Sweeper, to address, in a specific process, the spyware that permeates throughout the Internet. Just after the installation I realized that it was not working with NIS 2009 and removed it. I am not sure what to do with this program at this point. I have some hope that Symantec will review this, as well.
I think that it's informative to comment on programs that do or do not work with NIS 2009, as most folks pay for these products in hard earned USD and with information that they can assess make an appropriate decision about using a program that is asserted to not be compatible with NIS 2009.
The present time analysis for my situation is that I am making an uninformed :-) determination by using a Trend Micro PRO 30 day trial to allow for the 'Framework' fix to be released by Symantec/Norton. My original request stands; where is the NIS 2009 'Framework' fix?
