I have been running Norton products since the early days when Peter Norton actually was the pre-eminent PC and antivirus guru, back in the 1980s. I have noticed a trend whereby these products take up more and more system resources, and become more and more intrusive. Things have now gotten to the point where I and my small business have abandoned the Norton solution.
I was running Norton Antivirus 2008, and after some update or other, it subtly, but effectively, blocked our VPN connection, so that we could not connect wirelessly to our company server. At first I blamed Windows Vista, but after much hair-pulling, we discovered that it was Norton Antivirus 2008. Even when disabled, it placed a filter between the Notebook computer and the VPN connection, sabotaging it. These people simply cannot get it through their heads that our computers do not exist to run antivirus, firewall, and related products–they are there to do work.
Another unacceptable trait that Norton now does, is that when your product expires, or is about to, it starts bombarding you with obtrusive pop-up windows telling you to renew. And these windows do not follow the MS Windows protocol, with an X in the upper right-hand corner where you can quickly get rid of it. I have come to resent these intrusions. It does not matter now; we have removed Norton from our computers and looked elsewhere for a solution.
Norton violates the first rule of “Do No Harm.” I am disappointed to have to abandon them.

It is much cheaper to buy the old version of virus protection. Norton updates it anyway so it is worth buying the older one. I installed it on my PC and my 2 kids laptops and it’s great. Next year I will be back looking to buy 2008 or 2009 again….
