I went out today and picked up a copy of Symantec's Norton Internet Security 2006. I have always been a fan of Norton products, as they are simple to you, and work rather well. I figured I would try this since I couldn't find much information about it on the internet at all. I went ahead and tried installing it on a VPC with Additions, and Win XP SP2, and I have a P4 3.0 w/HT CPU. Needless to say, I tried increasing the Page file, I dedicated 1024 MB of RAM to the VPC, but I still could not get it to function properly. It started that the installation was so slow. It took nearly two hours to install the program. Once it installed, and rebooted, I never got to the Activation section. It kept locking up and blowing my CPU out at 100%. I finally decided to can it, and uninstall it which also took forever. I then installed it on my host PC, whcih worked just fine. As a host app, it works great and has an attractive layout. Nice product actually, but just dont try to install it in VPC. If anyone gets it to run well in a VPC let me know... I would like to know what you did. I still have yet to try it in VMware... do that later as well as give a review on the features from my host PC... I am going to bed now.
