Norton Internet Security was not rated highly in the article above.
Furthermore, neither Norton Internet Security nor McAfee Internet
Security were recommended or received an Editors' Choice. Details of
specific problems are included in the article.

I know how you feel though. I was lured into buy a PC Mag Editors'
Choice once. Found out later that SpySweeper only runs on one account
(the account it was installed on), and the memory-resident always-on
protection only runs on one account (the account it was installed on).
So my PC fills up with spyware, if i use an account other than Admin.

I heard a lot of good things about Norton Internet Security 2005 and was
very impressed by the write-up and comparison to McAfee in PC Magazine.
Norton Antivirus worked well for me, but my BlackIce was starting to give me
problems, so I decided to give it a try. It has been installed less than 2
weeks and it blew me out of the water. After the update on Wednesday night,
Microsoft Outlook was no longer able to send/receive any e-mails. Turning
off the firewall corrected the problem. I tried everything to correct the
problem, but eventually had to uninstall and reinstall NIS 2005 to get
everything working again. In working the problem, NIS 2005 also ended up
hanging number of times when I was trying to make simple changes among the
various options.

I am interested in if others are having similar challenges or if this was
just a fluke and it will be smooth sailing from here???
