Negative Positive
Title: Clumsy firewall, incomplete anti-spyware, etc.
Review: I have uninstalled this software, which came on my new Dell Computer. The problem with the firewall is that it is heavy handed and blocks many things that it shouldn't. For example, Musicmatch super-tagging can't connect (and I certainly tried to configure NIS to allow Musicmatch to connect); blogger.com's click-to-edit function vanished; Diskeeper 9 could not install; and so on. Once I went back to Windows XP firewall, all these functions resumed working. I went to Webroot's Spy Sweeper 4.0, and it immediately found 6 spyware cookies that NIS had allowed. I tried turning off the anti-spam function because I use the uncannily accurate Cloudmark (www.cloudmark.com), but the Norton anti-spam toolbar kept returning every time I restarted Outlook. I tried to get on-line help from Symantec, but it was useless. I would avoid this product totally.
Is the review positive or negative?
