I too was a fan of the Norton security products, until March 2009. I
lost complete Internet access with NIS 2009 installed. Once I finally
got my access back, NIS 2009 was not working. I then contacted the
on-line support and then the agent "yanked" NIS 2009 with their
removal tool. Of course this then completely crashed my Windows XP.
One month to repair my install and then a complaint was filed. No
Norton security product ever again!
