Software Reviews of Norton Internet Security 2002
Customer Review: BEWARE
Summary: 1 Stars
Not only is this horrible software, but it will destroy your ability to open your Email program. When you go to Norton / Symantec for help, you will learn that they have built a tremendous firewall around the company against its customers. Their technical support consists of a bunch of meaningless white papers. Call them, and you are told you will be paying $30 for the call. If you are willing to do this, you go thru many levels of questions, only to be told that this "service" is not available. I am extremely technically savy, but I can't get this to work. My ISP provider has no ideas either. There should be a big warning on this box that it will foul up your Email. BEWARE....buy this product at your own risk.Customer Review: Great firewall and antivirus; terrible parental control
Summary: 2 Stars
Great firewall and antivirus software. If you're buying this to use the parental control feature, however, don't. The lack of working URL updates for parental control makes that piece of the software useless. Symantec has known about the URL update problem since Sep and has yet to provide a solution.Customer Review: Great firewall and antivirus; Horrible parental control
Summary: 2 Stars
If you're purchasing this to use the parental control software, don't. Although Norton identified a problem with URL updates for the parental control list in September, they have yet to provide a fix. The antivirus and personal firewall software works like a charm. But Norton's support (they don't respond to email or letters) for users of the parental control software is nonexistent!Customer Review: Great firewall for a beginner, not enough for advanced user
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this firewall product on my DSL. It is not quite up to my expection, but it is still a good product.Pro:
1. easy to set up and use
2. the default setting can be strict, if you choose firewall setting "block everthing unless specified"
3. it provides both port filter and application filter.
Con:
Mostly for power users:
1. the firewall rule is not flexible enough, and advanced setting is confusing. (compared to IPCHAINS in Linux, and Lock'nStop for windows)
2. It CAN slow the performance quite a lot, especially when loading the firewall rules (I have about 30 rules). Taking minutes
3. CANNOT differeciate between local net and extra net, which is a big fault. However, there is a Network Adapter option, which fits for this purpose. but i cannot get this to work...
Customer Review: It works for newbies.
Summary: 2 Stars
It can be a great product because it combines antivirus and personal firewall in one suite; however, Norton Antivirus slows down computer a great deal, and requires buying the virus definition upgrade after one year of use. There are a few antivirus software that works better and cost much less: DrWeb, NOD32, Kaspersky AVI, Panda AntiVirus and etc. "Tiny Firewall" and "Sygate Firewall" are a free software, which in my opinion works better than Symantec.
