techrecoveryWould it kill Norton to just adopt one standard user interface across all their home protect-U-from-teh-ebil-intarweb products, so the menu structure for Norton Personal Firewall 2006 at least vaguely resembles the menu structures for Symantec Personal Firewall 2006, Norton Internet Security 2006 and Norton Internet Security 2006 Anti-Spyware Edition?
As far as I can tell, these four products' interfaces were designed by four different people who have never met and have never seen one another's products.
Like, if you just have Norton Internet Security, there's a systray icon you can right-click and "Disable." But if you have Norton Protection Center, there's this whole other baffling array of menus, of which "Norton Internet Security" is a subgroup, along with "AutoProtect" and "Mail Scanning."
but if you just have NIS, "Autoprotect" etc. appear as a subgroup of the NIS menu.
And from what I can tell, both products provide exactly the same set of features.
