After using Norton products for over 15 years, NEVER AGAIN!
I have used various Norton products since the days of MS DOS 3.0. I have faithfully recommended them to family and friends. Now I have egg on my face. The latest iteration of Norton System Works has disabled three older (Pentium 3 class) computers and made them unbootable. It nearly took down my one year old Centrino laptop but I was able to recover it and remove the Symantec trash. When the virus protection software is worse than the viruses out there, why bother? ^M
Ripoff--Disable ware
Don't buy software you pay good money for only to have it disabled! If I had known this was going to be disabled prematurely, I would have never had bought it.^M
Installation Hard, Tech Support Variable
I've used Norton for years. I had trouble installing it too. At one point, I had a tech support guy (the only one who really knew what he was doing) remotely control my computer for three hours after five earlier calls to tech support to install it and uninstall the old one. The pre-scans often failed but when I skipped them, it worked better. One other suggestion is to make sure all symantec folders are deleted before installing the new version, including folders in the Windows Registry. I too couldn't install GoBack and just went on without it.
