Norton AntiVirus 2006 review:
1 stars (Please do not buy this product!) - A friend of mine was having trouble with their PC (computer would reboot during startup continually, relatively new PC). After doing a full HD format, XP reinstall (including all updates) everything worked fine. However, after installing Norton 2006 Antivirus the computer slowed down considerably and after two-three startup / shutdown sequences would begin to reboot during startup again (i.e. never get to the Start menu). I reinstalled XP three times (plus did hardware diagnostic checks). Norton 2006 has to have some bugs in it as XP runs fine until Norton 2006 is installed. I concluded that the problem was Norton as I shut off the AV monitoring through msconfig and the computer worked fine. There were no errors when I installed the product.



I did a final reformat etc. but put on a competitor's antivirus product and now have no problems at all.



I have been using Norton products for 10 years and been working with PC's for over 20. I had installation issues with Systemworks 2005 but stuck with the product. Once I saw the problems with Norton 2006 (thankfully not on my PC) I took Norton off my own computer and switched to something else (with one month left on my subscription).



Don't waste your time with this, there are other options that work.
2 stars (AV 2006 intallation and registration problems) - I have installed it, removed it and re-installed it. It finally said the product was activated. but it was not as the subscription was marked as expired before I began. By calling an 800 number I was finally able to get an unlock key and the activation/subscription issue was resolved. It has never managed to register the product key on their server. I tkeeps sayning cant do that now try again later.

If you allow it to scan for some of the things other than virus, worms, adware and spyware, it get hung up in scanning the _Restore directory.

Some of their earlier products were more user friendly.
5 stars (Works Like A Champ) - While I had numerous problems with Norton Internet Security 2005, this standalone AV package (with added Spyware detection) has worked magnificently well on my Sony Laptop. No problems with install, timely full system scan, and an easy interface that shows a positive status check in the system tray. Works in the background with minimal notifications and none of the system hangs/reinstalls that I was forced to do with the full Norton Security suite. While Symantec has damaged their reputation with poor quality utility suites, the core AV program seems to be rock solid.
