   Review - Norton Internet Security

   2007 Beta (10.0.0.1) (Jan 5, 2007)

   pos.
   it does what it says, but have ran into issues with high cpu usage, with email problems and internet connection issues.
   Norton is a not a good brand anymore, and NIS is my bane working at an ISP.

   Review - Norton Internet Security

   2007 Beta (10.0.0.1) (Jul 21, 2006)

   Cannot send email after installing NIS?
   http://service1.symantec...;view=docid&seg=hho
   
   Symantec says, "Uninstall and reinstall Norton Internet Security"
   
   Cannot browse web?
   http://service1.symantec.../docid/2006071309132936
   "Set Privacy Control to the default level"
   
   Cannot browse with NIS turned on?
   http://service1.symantec.../docid/2006052414544936
   "Remove the program rules and run a program scan
   Program rules tell Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall to permit or to block a program's access to the Internet. When you remove the program rules and run a program scan, you reset the program rules."
   
   So, what syamntec is saying, Is...
   If it's not working, reinstall, still not working, then turn it off or hobble it.
   
   this program deserves the 1 rating it gets.

8. Comment - Internet Explorer 7 Final Released

   2007 Beta (10.0.0.1) (Oct 20, 2006 - 1:20 PM)

   took over as default on my machine, had to set Firefox back as default, but other then that, worked as advertised. The ability to close the first tab, (to blank it out) would be great.
   
   [use and installed - cause i work for an ISP and need to know about it.]

9. Comment - Symantec Says There's No Safe Browser

   2007 Beta (10.0.0.1) (Sep 26, 2006 - 2:16 PM)

   Interesting, but i must say, there is a such thing as a secure browser. Firefox w/ ad block plus, noscript and filterG set.
   And guess what, the safest browsing you can get.
   
   Then there is IE, no add ons, nothing, just insecure pile of crap.
   
   And then there is symantec, who had a back door in there software, has been targeted by virus and malware, and i guess there next statement will be .. "there is no safe A/v"
   
   Symantec has and always will be the WORST software on the market for AV and Security.

10. Comment - Microsoft: We're Close to Shipping IE7

    2007 Beta (10.0.0.1) (Aug 29, 2006 - 1:37 PM)

    IE7 is crap, still non standard compliant. Closing tabs is easy, but first tab is always open. this leaves it as a standard non tabbed browser, with tabbing functionality. pathetic. It's also slower then 'Bon Echo' and is just as hijack able... one stop to smiley's site and walla... i had a new tool bar. I cannot even rate this product a 1.
    
    For everyone that is saying, "but some people like IE", True, but using IE even 7 is the same as a person using rotary phone, because they like it better... it's totally useless today.
    
    Opera is better, FireFox, Netscape and MyIE2 (an IE wrapper), all much better functionality, and as for viruses and tweaked behaviors and compliance to CSS standards, nothing in the Microsoft family will do.
    
    Any site that is IE only, is/was created by a total noob Webmaster, so forget that logic.
