"I installed NIS 2004 on the 19th of April and immediately experienced a drastic slow down in boot up speed and program access and I am using XP Home Edition on a 2.66ghz Intel chip with 512mb of memory.On the 27th of April NIS stopped working in that I could not access it from the icon on the taskbar and after rebooting a few times the antivirus icon disabelled itself and no matter what I tried I could not get it to enable.My computer became very sluggish as whenever I clicked on the icon the computer stopped responding and I had to reboot."
"I bought Norton Internet Security years ago, This product is absolutely not ready for release."
"I previously had Nortons System Works and Norton Firewall."
"Did not work on my computer."
"I bought and installed Norton Internet Security 2004 version 7.0.3.8 on a PC with Windows 98 Operating System. It took hours to download, install, reboot, activate, register, update, perform pre-install scans, perform recommended scans of the whole drive, and other steps I probably forgot. Called the number, went throught a long series of menus, at the end of which was silence. After a google search, I found this Amazon review space. When you install the parental controls feature, they tell you they recommend a default setting of a child's account so that when the machine boots up, the child account will be the initial one. The software is badly designed, not supported, and will cost you a lot if you install it in terms of lost time, frustration, the cost of tech support to get rid of it, and damage to your system."
"I followed the instructions about running LiveUpdate to fix the bugs in the software (15 bugs), and still didn't work so I sent the product back and got my money back."

Webroot Spy Sweeper Antispyware 5.x
Spy Sweeper still focuses on what’s most important – offering users the most effective protection against spyware. Designed specifically to protect users from the most malicious forms of spyware, Spy Sweeper combines the use of Comprehensive Removal Technology (CRT), the most advanced spyware removal technology in the industry, with the superior blocking power of behavior-based Smart Shields. Spy Communication Shield prevents further spyware infection by blocking incoming and outgoing communication to web sites known to host potential spyware threats and disables spyware programs’ ability to re-install during removal.

"A better approach would be for Spysweeper to list all cookies it finds with their location and allow users to decide which, if any, cookies to keep. Many of my disappointments with Spysweeper relate to the company's continued and intrusive sales "nags" after purchase, while making it difficult to avoid or eliminate them. For example, when you select Update Spysweeper manually from the software's Options page, your browser is opened and you are taken to one of the company's web pages (nag screens), even if your product is up-to-date. Approximately two weeks before your annual subscription comes to an end you are continually presented with another "nag" screen you must respond to each time Spysweeper starts, and there is apparently no way to prevent this screen from appearing until you either update Spysweeper or just remove it from your computer, another unnecessary and time-consuming nuisance. Now whenever you decide to buy a Spysweeper product, or simply update your Spysweeper software to include antivirus protection, Spysweeper automatically "opts you in" for an annual and continuous subscription renewal. Spysweeper appears to be a competent product, albeit, with some technical issues."
"When I first installed it, I would get all kinds of alerts, which actually made me happy."
"Currently running NOD32 antivirus (simply the best)and Outpost firewall which belongs in this group."
"I would like to say that this is a good product but this item is " not for 64 bit computers ",so read first,in this age of technology."
"Maybe your experience would be better, but I cannot recommend this product. Now after saying all this, there was absolutely no spyware able to stay on my system when this product worked, but again, the performance of the product in other areas makes this experience unfortunate."
"BUT........IF YOU LIKE HAVING TO TURN YOUR COMPUTER OFF EVERY 3-4 MINUTES BECAUSE IT CRASHES....get this..........I have windows xp., tried 4.5, and for above reason switched to the 5. in hopes they would have fixed the spyware problem...but no."
"I have been running that version for about a day without the same problems."
"It says in plain print that this disc is compatible with Windows Vista 64."

iHateSpam
The Outlook version uses spam analysis routines to check each incoming e-mail and tosses the spam into a SPAM folder under your inbox.
Reviews
"My inbox had become a veritable catch-all for every piece of worthless advertising (a lot from reputable company's you would think should know better), filth, and other mindless drivel. Unscrupulous merchants will still find ways to circumvent these obstacles, but it is hoped that by being able to report a knucklehead to their ISP it may cause them to stop."
"It even has an easy to use getting started section where you can add people to your Friends List and your Enemies List. That sends back an email to the sender saying that your email address does not exist. The other feature, is the "Report" That reports the sender to thier ISP, this does not always work as sometimes it is impossible to find this out."
"After using this software for a few weeks I can tell you it does a good job of filtering out 95% of the spam and putting it in a folder when used in Outlook."
"But if you haven't done that, you're subscribed and it's not really spam because you gave them permission to send it. As for having their emails automatically added to my friends list, that never happened to me either. I love being able to add entire domains to my enemies list, and I found that bouncing the emails really did reduce the amount of spam that came in."
"I've tried a ton of anti-Spam software programs including a 30 day trial version of iHateSpam; it is absolutely the best!!"
"But it was only when the product arrived that I discovered the filter is tuneable if you use Outlook, but not if you use Outlook Express."
"works OK, buyer BEWARE: If you have a PocketPC and use ActiveSync, this will render your capability to sync your messages/contacts/etc. IT DOES NOT WORK WITH ACTIVESYNC, without doing silly things like starting Outlook ahead of syncing, or turning off IHateSpam!"

"The next thing you notice is that having to install and run Microsoft SQL is a resource hog and probably gross overkill for most users. Once I got an iPhone and wanted to use all the nifty apps that let you do automatic updating with Outlook, it became painfully obvious that I could never have any integration since nothing syncs with the SQL files. So, I eventually had to import the BCM database into regular Outlook format (losing a lot of info along the way) so that I had something standard that nearly every other program can sync to."
"What is really needed is one single app (or interface) that does all the major functions (word processing, spreadsheet, typesetting, slides) without having to open separate apps."
"Microsoft Outlook 2007 was exactly what we were looking for to resolve our issue with outlook not included in Office 2007 Home and Student version."
"Whether my impression that Microsoft is a tad bit worse on this score than other vendors may be just prejudice on my part, but when your system becomes unusable for a few days while some far distant "expert" does all the things you've already done, well, it leaves a pretty bad taste in your mouth. So I was greatly and pleasantly surprised when I inserted the Outlook 2007 CD, and the install came up and ran to completion with no nasty error messages!"
