Norton Security Suite 2004

Oh how i hate this program, as a website designer i needed to buy this program for one stupid reason. It's bans portions of my site such as images for no good reason. Therefore i needed for testing purposes, which is expensive at £50 sadly. Ah well I concluded at least i would have the most professional security suite on the mass market. Sadly this wasn't the case either. The e-mail scanner was letting viruses through on a regular basis, but catching them latter as the e-mail client accessed the just-downloaded mail to display it. This always resulted in something crashing.

I tried disabling the e-mail scanning completely, but this still didnt work. The worst part was the The "live update" mechanism failed frequently. So i pay £50 and the program depriving me on a regaular basis of updating the software. It took me weeks before the updating finally worked. I did not subscribe again. I have found free programs much better than this. I use the Microsoft XP firewall now included free, and AVG free edition anti-virus software. So far i've had less problems.
