Software Reviews of Norton Internet Security 2002
Customer Review: Works a lot better than Mcafee Internet Security 4
Summary: 4 Stars
I had a lot problems with Mcafee Internet Security 4 but this runs on win ME with no problemsCustomer Review: Works great - Easy to install, Easy to maintain
Summary: 5 Stars
I downloaded this software from Amazon.com and installed it within a few minutes. The setup is painless and the software prompts you for all the necessary information. As different software programs on your computer attempt to access the internet, Norton Internet Security will ask you to give or deny permission for internet access. The combined virus software also works great. It automically downloads and installs new virus information. It quickly scans incoming emails without interfering with the funtionality of Outlook. You can also set it up to scan outgoing email. This feature is a bit annoying but is easily disabled. When a virus is located, the program takes the necessary action and provides you with the option to obtain more information about the virus. All in all a great product!! I also recommend downloading the software directly from Amazon.com. That way you can be up in running in minutes and save on shipping costs.Customer Review: Excellent Product - Essential Protection Covered
Summary: 5 Stars
The installation wizard made this a breeze to install! (even for a non-techie) The protection features exceeded my expectations, and like any Symantec product, speaks quality. With the ability to set "rules" for protection, I am confident that I have full internet protection.Customer Review: Unstable + doesn't work = bad deal

I'm running XP Home on a Dell Optiplex GX240 with a P4 1.6ghz, cable internet access thru a Linksys cable modem and wireless router. My setup is all new and works fine. Bought NIS2002 yesterday and installed it. Installed fine, and LiveUpdate worked great. Got all updates, no problem. Set up personal firewall for 'Automatic', which is supposed to ask me when an application opens whether I want to allow that app to access the internet or not. Launched Outlook Express 6, Norton worked OK, everything fine. Launched Netscape 6 and IE6, and the fun begins. Bottom line: I can't get page downloads using any browser as long as any component of NIS personal firewall is enabled. If I disable ALL components of NIS personal firewall, but leave Norton Antivirus running, it works OK. I've tried to make this thing for 4 hours, using their website and 'knowledge base' (not a lot of knowledge there) extensively. Even tried to call their FOR FEE tech support, but they're closed on weekends(what's up with THAT)!OK, so I just disable personal firewall, right? Problem is - when I do that, NIS crashes about every 3rd time. Why? Who knows?
This is just bad software. Even if it COULD eventually be made to work correctly, the fact that an experienced user with a brand new system can't make it work out of the box means it's bad software by default. Maybe it'll work for you, maybe not. I certainly won't be buying anything from Norton again. McAfee, here I come.
Customer Review: Zero problems
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read many reviews of people who have had the software crash their system. I am a user who always pushes my machine to attempt a crash so I can see the limits of the system, and have not had Internet Security crash my system yet, and not from a lack of trying. I own a Dell 8100, running XP, cable modem, and have way too much stuff loaded on my system, which is mostly used for number crunching.On a loaded, fairly up-to-date system with up-to-date software and hardware drivers, I have had no problems with this at all.
For the features, it has the basics plus other features I use but didn't knowI had any use for before.
As for a buggy unistall mentioned by other, I would not know. I have no desire at all to remove this software from my system.
