Norton's firewall is very customizable though. If you get Norton up and running on your system correctly, i've never had issues with it. I know some others have had issues, but i'm sure that's because of the people out there that can't remove norton through the control panel, so they try deleting it, and then reinstalling it, and other dumb things like that
If you use the Norton Uninstaller tool and you install it cleanly to your PC, i've not had issues with it that way. Otherwise I could assume someone might have issues with it if they don't know what they are doing like most of the average computer users i've seen. Most people don't care though. As long as their PC still works and they can get onto Facebook everything is good it would seem.
Now I don't use Norton though, I just use MSE. Almost anything I can think of is better than having ZoneAlarm screw up your computer though.

Yes I also heard the same thing. The problem with Norton, it finds a lot of 'false positive'.
