Any one tried this yet?

I'd appreciate some feedback if possible.

Does it lag like its predecessors? Internet Security 2005, 2006, etc..

Thanx ya.

Whoa!

Serious? I never expected NAV to be so aggressive as to delete files without prompting. U sure it wasnt coz u set it that way? Coz I'd be quite rude for a program to delete files b4 notifying the user.

Yea,

Hope to hear something good from you after you're done tinkering with the program.

Thanx ya.

Darn, i thought this thread was dead.

Should have read it before buying.


2 late though.....Just bought Norton 360.

I'll post my feedback at the end of the week.

So far, I think this is a very light and simple program and most power users will most likely not be happy with this.

Then again, these restrictions will most probably cater to the novice users who prefer to have their antivirus and firewall automated.



Worse comes to worst, there's still the "60 Days Return Policy"

Any1 tried returning their product before?

All rites,

After 9 days, I can safely say that I DONT like this product.

But I dont think it is as bad as what the others before me say it was,

From my point of view, this suite's rather simple.
Not recommended for intermediate or pro users who want to tweak and run their antivirus suites to suit their needs.

The antivirus scanner's VERY disappointing, no option to scan individual files or folders, you'll have to run a full scan instead.
No scheduling!

The firewall's also quite limited, I couldn't add new program profiles like what I used to do in Norton Internet Security (NIS) so I'll have to hope that Norton 360 (N360) detects the program connecting to the internet and offer me the choice of allowing or blocking it, else, the program will just not connect to the internet. I also had problems specifying trusted IP addresses within my own network. Once again, if N360 doesnt detect it, the IP will just be blocked.

Never really had any opportunity to have the anti-phising feature tested.

The backup feature's a joke, I had disabled during my entire week of use.

So.......I'll most probably return this product. Lesson learnt; dont totally trust online reviews, even if it's from CNET, PCPro or PCWorld....Always read the user comments as well. And....no matter how tempting the 3 user license sounds.......RESIST IT.....it's a marketing gimmick.


PROS:

- If you're a total computing noob, then you should get it. Or you could get it for your 45+ year old uncles or aunts or even your grandpa or grandma who uses a PC

- Doesnt consume as much resource compared to NIS07, in my opinion.

- It's an install and forget application, everything is done in background and it doesnt really get in your face.

- Nice box

- Nice and simple looking user interface. Great for uncles and aunties.

CONS:

- SAD Antivirus scanner.

- Firewall with limited settings

- Crappy backup


And now......
U know.
