I loved it ...Now I hate it !!!

You can review my initial impression on Norton 2006 below ....but a few months have passed ...and I must humbly change my opinion...As opposed to previous Norton products, this one has caused more trouble than its worth...

Stick to McAfee or Kaspersky...

Norton has become an anti-virus program that morphed into a virus unto itself... Come on guys , you can do better than this !!!

I have been a Norton user since before Windows ...and truly find that despite the minor little quirks the program may cause ...its the lesser of two evils...Hey ...any program that interacts on a minute to minute basis with the entire operating system 24/7 is going to make your system perform a little differently than before you installed Norton. I just went from Norton 2002 to 2006 and LOVE IT ...after the [...] past user rebate and discount price, it only cost me $[...] bucks....

Just the Norton Goback + Ghost are worth the price of admission...Utilities is the only way to keep your computer a Lean ,Mean , Fightin Machine !

Nothings perfect , but Norton strives to be ...and I think they do the best job out there !!

Comprehensive with some cool tools, but SLOW.

Fortunately I haven't had any nightmare scenarios as discussed in several other reviews here. However I can add to the many comments on how it slows your system to a crawl: initial log-in is now as follows: turn on computer, then take a shower and have breakfast, then come back to computer and check email, etc.

Having seen all these horror stories here, I'm officially nervous: I'm going to uninstall it completely, then just reinstall the non-invasive components (and perhaps either Ghost or GoBack). I'll go with something simpler and lass bulky for my basic protections... between MS Antivirus, Spybot, Etrust, and AdAware (all free), I'm sure I can figure something out.
