Reading this question and responses has been very revealing. I have been
angry and frustrated the past week, trying to clear problems that began
after installing NIS 2005. I have tried a dozen fixes, from manipulating
firewalls, reinstalling, conferences with techreps, and a new modem. Now I
have just about decided to uninstall NIS, ask for a refund, and try either
McAfee or some of the other programs recommended in this discussion. Many
thanks to all contributors here for confirming that I am not the only person
in the universe who has had these infuriating problems with Norton. I never
had problems with Norton Antivirus, but I have reached the end of my
patience with NIS 2005.

| Hi all,

?
| TIA.
