I bought the 2005 version for my wife and we've had nothing but problems. Most recently used PC Move when we got a new PC and I didn't think to get rid of this. Now I can't get it off the new machine and it's causing a problem exiting Word. (Documented on Microsoft's site). This is absolute junk.;

I've been frustrated with this product so long, that the anger which would have inspried at least an entertaining review has left me.
About me. Back in the day, the mid-nineties, I worked as a technical support rep for a PC manufacturer, and then a REALLY BIG software company. Does that mean my opinion is necessarily expert? By no means. It does mean that I have worked in a corporate environment in which virus and firewall protection was mandated, and that I have had on multiple occaisions had to reset options setting and preferences.
All that being said, for the love of God this program WON"T SHUT UP! The firewall is insane, invoking a top level popup EVERYTIME something happens, and that box that asks if you want to use the action every time? It is as far as I can tell, non-functional.
For the sake of security I have endured it for the length of my update subscription (the update utility by the way was eating my processor time like locusts).
And now even though i still use it with its recently out of date definitions, IT STILL WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE! I KNOW Virus definitions are out of date, and I KNOW my NIS Updates are out of date. I'm the one that didn't renew them, I do NOT need a reminder ever 30 seconds. Of course have I shut it off? NO. i have a good mind to go back to Zone Alarm. At least if that irks you you know you got it for free.;

I upgraded from NAV 2002 and ZoneAlarm to this...
Installing took minutes....Updating over broadband took 3 reboots and several updates that had been released since the release 2 years ago (expected).
Then only Virus definitions..and I was done.
A half hour to see all the new features and review the default settings, and 15 minutes to see how to enable one certain game for my child on NEOPETS.
Tried the other freeware including Avast and maybe I just got used to the NAV Auto Update and using the daily 4am Virus Checking.
The Internet Security included is very flexable and friendly. I actually feel ok now without Zonealarm (was my best pick) clogging up my net.
Plus I can configure the other users with a click.... Kids / Teens and adults....Then you can fine tune them if need be....All the logs are there and easy to read.
I really thought I was in for trouble after reading the reviews, but I got used to NAV and for this price glad I did.
I guess no news is good news and all the good reviews are just not showing up...Soo I thought I would speak for them...;
