A while ago, I upgraded from Norton AV 2002 to NIS2005. Be aware that
NIS2005 is a huge resource hog. Yes, it works, but again, slows the system
down dramatically. It also installs itself all over the place, so I went to
uninstall it (to try to reinstall - per Symantec's suggestion for 'fixing' a
live update problem), it really hose up my system.

In the end, the system really slowed down after the reinstall....so, I
reformatted the HDD and reinstalled Windows/etc. I chose a different
AV/Firewall solution.

| Hi,
|
| I use Norton Internet Security 2003.
|
| In 2004 I opted not to upgrade to NIS 2004 but just to renew the
| subscription. There seemed to be a consensus that 2004 version was
| less reliable.
|
| Now, in 2005, I have the same dilemma: upgrade or renewal? While I
| understand that a lot of folks here are in favor of dropping Symantec
| altogether, let's keep this option out (at least for now).
|
| Those who either got or upgraded to NIS 2005, what is your opinion
| about the product? Any known issues and/or incompatibilities?
|
| TIA, Eugene
