Strengths:

none. prior version (IS 2005) was much more usable.

Weaknesses:

it obliterates all prior preferences, blocking rules and permitted computers. it can't learn whether to block or permit something even though you answer the popup.

Posted Nov 17, 2005 - please see weaknesses above. this version of Internet Security really stinks. I'm a long-time user of Norton security products, so it takes me a longer time to become disenchanted, but I am definitely on the verge of switching.

Internet Screwity 2006

Strengths:

none

Weaknesses:

No Premier or Professional version, no Password Manager included.

Posted Oct 23, 2005 - My complaints are the same for this version as they are the same as they have been with all of Symantec's new products. They are including less features for the same price. The scan times are even slower for Norton Anti-Virus.

Strengths:

Bought it because of the Norton name

Weaknesses:

Blocks email Hangs computer Poor customer service

Posted Feb 7, 2006 - I installed this on a Win20K laptop. It is incompatible with Eudora and when I try to configure it, the configuration window freezes and prevents the computer from rebooting so I had to push the reset button to restart the computer. Customer service was a joke. It consisted of a chat session with somebody in India who had no idea what was going on and who make me wait several minutes for each response (as if he was dealing with multiple support sessions at once). I told him about several error messages, the hang, email not working and his response was that I should defragment my hard drive!! I hung up and tried that just in case but it had no impact as I expected. I'm nowuninstalling this product and I'm going to request a refund. I had similar support and quality issues with Partition Magic last year so now I'm probably going to avoid Symantec products going forward.

Frequent updates

Tech Support

Posted Aug 20, 2006 - The tech support is in India and is abysmal. I have spent hours one the phone with these morons and their best advice is reinstall - no matter what the problem.
