I have just installed NSW and I am now having problems with slow connections
to the internet and am also unable to perform a system restore. Any help
would be appreciated. Thank you.
 
I second that - a new laptop (xp pro) with Norton SystemDoesntWork installed
repeatedly crashed until i removed it and shredded the bytes it lived on.

Actually not so funny to me, as that pile of poo lost me a potentially
lucrative client in the form of a major shopfitting outfit a while back. They
_insisted_ on NAV, so I couldn't do much about it when Word started frezing
every time a file was saved. Other than, of course, to show them that a
computer without NAV didn't show the symptoms. They still wouldn't believe me
though, they'd rather believe that the brand-leader product couldn't
_possibly_ be defective. So they got another IT firm in (who probably told
them exactly the same thing...)

Last week, had a case where NIS suddenly and for no apparent reason stopped
a computer from resolving the site server's name, despite no changes in its
network settings. This laptop (a Tosh) had been supplied a year or more back
with NIS preinstalled, and the user had pleaded to retain it, so against my
better judgement I let him.

Ah well, somtimes I do get a glow of satisfaction from knowing I was right
all along... ;-)))
 
I am sorry about your potential client .
But it is funny.

If you can do something and if they are rich people ,made them buy a
Symantec Corporate 10 which is much better than Norton AV.Trust me - I have
seen Norton making problems many times but Symantec Corporate is a candy in
front of Norton The bad-smelling junk !We have a school that have installed
Symantec Corporate 8 and 9 on they computers.7 monts since the first install
-No problems

Thanks God they haven't installed Norton...:-)

Most of the clients I picked up recently have been running 'Nortons'.. that
familiar cry '... but I was running Nortons' always makes me laugh..

I do feel for them after having paid good money for it, but I will NOT
re-install it ever.. if they choose to install that junk, they do it
themselves.. I will have no part in it..

I'll second the recommendation for Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition.
Works great. Of course, I've never had problems with just Norton
Antivirus, as long as the rest of NIS isn't installed.
 
Norton SYSTEMWORKS is pretty much worthless. Only the AntiVirus part of
it useful w/ WinXP, the rest of the "utilities" are not worth it at all,
and often "muck things up". Save money and buy only NAV.

Norton Internet Security is a fairly good suite, and includes NAV and
a firewall and lots of other "filter" stuff, but it too will slow the
system down (sometimes a LOT!). But it does do a good job of protecting
"the novice". It's the better of the two Suites for sure.
 
That depends. I bough a version of SystemWorks 2003 that came with Ghost. I
find Ghost very useful for creating image backups. --- Steve
 
I have a question I seem to be having big problems with norton.. system
works.. it says to uninstall and reinstall to solve it.. I did that 3 times
already it works fine and then again teh same thing.. what is causing this??
 
You never did say exactly what the problem is you're having. Please explain
the original problem.
