Norton Internet Security 2007

I use also NIS 2007 on my notebook with vista home premium OS, but windows
security center does not recognize it. How to solve this?
Thanks

As suggested on the site, you may wish to print out the directions before
proceeding.

If this doesn't work use this:
Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Remove unwanted programs and traces easily
http://www.revouninstaller.com/
and/or
RegSeeker
http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm
Then use NTREGOPT to compact the registry; Follow instructions.

While Norton's removal tool usually gets the job done, you may also want to
go to:
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html
and download a copy of winsockxpfix just in case. Rarely, the removal of
NIS breakes the networking components in XP to the point where internet
access is impossible. This little utility will fix it back up.

Concerning Windows Live One Care, a number of experts agree that this
application is on the bottom of the list as far as finding
virus\malware\trojan.

For the average home user there are better, more suitable alternatives
freely available.

Good luck

news:3t5tmkc4w2g2$.11upvithrpgsa.dlg@xxxxxx Completely wrong information. There are literally millions of users using
Norton Internet Security with no issues, including
myself running on 4 computers.

It is not necessary to uninstall perfectly good software that the OP has
already paid for.
No retail chain that I know of will accept software for a return.
Both are basically useless pieces of software.
Why? The registry is not affected by whether the files are compacted
enough.

Please cite a credible source for your claim...
You would have to dig a very deep hole to find where on the list Live
OneCare is.
It is worse than useless.

Then why is Norton the #1 best seller, selling more than "ALL OTHERS*
combined?
Why is it used by ISPs, banks, city, state and federal governments, all
branches of the military,
universities, etc?

There is simply nothing on the market that can compare with Norton.

said for any software, good *OR* bad. Having been active in newsgroups
for a lot of years, I can tell you that Norton (and Symantec) software
has in recent years clearly become a leader in complaints about
"bloatware" and performance. My personal experience with NAV goes back
about 10+ years and I can say from personal experience that over the
past 6 years, it has become more and more of a resource drain. One year,
an attempt at an upgrade actually trashed my entire setup and I had to
rebuild from scratch.

I suspect that Norton/Symantec software runs great if you have the
latest and greatest hardware and lots of memory. However, what happens
to the typical user is that every year's upgrade significantly increases
the resources demanded by the applications and dramatically slows down
the overall performance.

My advice to anyone running any Norton product is to remove it. Norton
causes more problems than it solves; I won't have it anywhere near my PC.

our 2 Vista laptops with no such hard drive activity or any other
anomolies.

It is a waste of time. He has not used the product for years, by his own
admission, and knows nothing of it, yet
still preaches his hatred of it based on dated and irrelevant information.

As a Journalist I am regularly sent copies of Norton products. I am not
biased neither have I had a bad experience. Norton is simply a system hogger
and I will repeat what I said in my original post 'Norton causes more
problems than it solves.' With Windows 95/98/ME Norton products were great.
Since XP they have, sadly, gone down hill.

unnoticeable. it doesn't slow down start up, nor slow down anything
during my use of the machine. I've run both machines with no virus
scanner, with mcafee, AVG, and NIS2007. running with NO virus scanner
and with NIS2007 I've never seen any difference in response. I can't
say that about NIS2007 on XP-now THAT is a bad combo. I thought AVG
was a joke, considering how some people here rave about it. I got rid
of it as soon as I was able to get NIS2007 on sale at Costco.
