Well, I can say that I know use Norton because Symantec bought out Roxio so I
was stuck with going with "GoBack" from Symantec and I bought this one
product which is very useful for restoring a PC. I have set the
configurations carefully to minimize intrusion on the part of the Norton
utility. However, GoBack wants to access the Internet each time I reboot and
this makes me wonder what Symantec's game is. I can deny this accessing the
Internet through Zone Alarm Pro. because I have it set to manual but it still
makes me even more suspicious of Norton products. Does anyone know why this
product would want to phone home? If I deny Goback access to the Internet
the product still works great and no other message is displayed.
