Norton Removal Tools

Does Norton know about that? I haven't seen anything in their BETA forum.[/QUOTE]
No they must not be aware of it. I have contacted them about this issue. No reply yet.[/QUOTE]

They know about it. Their own application to remove their software thoroughly is called Norton Removal Tool: Download and run the Norton Removal Tool to uninstall Norton Security Suite or Norton Business Suite

The Norton removal tool will not uninstall 2011 BETA, use Add/Remove programs.

The new build 18.1.0.22 appears to be very bug free, the shutdown bug I was experiencing has been fixed, a few non-critical bugs concerning Identity Safe have been reported so far.

Getting close to release quality.

Does anyone know if Symantec will release the 90 day trial of Norton Internet Security 2011 when it's become final?

I really liked the 90 days of the previous two versions.

Yes they will. Hold your horses. Its still in beta.

Does this one use your current Norton product key, or does it give you a new one?

 

[malexous]

You will get a 120 day key sent to your email with the 2011 beta. You can't use your current key for the beta.

A new NIS 2011 build has been posted yesterday on the public beta download page, 18.1.0.33!

Taking Symantec release cycle into account, this could be the last full download build update, as the product will be released by September or October. No bugs encountered so far!

 

[Teerex]

Beta testing has finished. NIS/NAV 2011 will be released soon.

Nortons has improved drasticly from back in the day. Its alot lighter to. And the Sonar picks up just about everything. People use to dis Nortons because of its memory hoggish ways. Those days are gone. And i remember when it wouldnt really pick up certain malware. That was back in the 2007 or 08. Now it picks up everything. Nortons is good again.

Agreed.

Good news. My beta key is just about to expire in few days.

 

[Teerex]

NIS/NAV 2011 released for all current subscribers. I guess the 'leaks' forced their hand.

 

[Dinesh]

Thanks for the update.

Just upgraded.

So far I like the new UI, especially the look of the new gadget


Only 1 small issue so far with my upgrade:

For everyone else that just upgraded and uses a SSD for your OS don't forget to turn off the Idle Time Optimizer (aka Windows defrag)

Mine has always been off, but for some reason with the upgrade it was turned back on.

It may have just been an odd thing on my end, but I thought it would be worth mentioning.

You might mention this issue in the Norton Community forums - it's a design flaw and someone should tell them that if they didn't notice it themselves.

I have Norton IS 2010 on my computer right now, and my subscription is about to expire. Could I buy Norton IS 2010 again for sale somewhere like TheEgg $30, then change my key code in my current software to the new one, then just download 2011 from norton and upgrade for free?:devil: I would save $20 over the upgrage price of $50.
