Norton AntiSpam 2005 Complete package

Advantages: Good complete package
Disadvantages: Noticeably slows down speed of system once installed

...I bought this product after previously using Symantec's security products (anti virus, firewall, anti spam etc.) and because I've always felt safe and secure and have never had any problems with them before, however...... I noticed after installing it, and also after recommending it to approx. 6 friends and installing it on their machines, that it noticeably reduced the speed performance of our PCs, compared with before we installed it. Mainly on booting up the system. The programme itself has to load up all of the components it uses to protect your system before you can start using your PC - fair enough obviously! But in doing this, bootup time is significantly extended.

Advantages: So many features, Use, Installation
Disadvantages: None

...Introduction ************* Norton Internet Security 2005 is an excellent software package offering a large amount of software sold by Norton all in one package.

This makes for no need to have to think about clicking on Norton every time the computer starts. There are also no boxes... Read review

Advantages: I think to be the best on the market
Disadvantages: none that i have found

...WOW is all I can say, after being advised by an expert about which is the best software to use for antivirus protection I always got directed to Norton. I first used norton antivirus 2004 and this was great, it found all viruses that even I was surprised I had on my PC and offered free updates for a whole year. So come the new year I wanted better and I got it with Norton AntiVirus 2005 11.0 and this is even better. I recently found 527 viruses on my PC thanks to Norton. Features: This package comes with again the free updates until 2006, It will autoprotect your PC, kind of like a 24hour personal guard service, It comes with internet worm protection, Email scanning so now you can feel alot safer if you recieve a virus infected e-mail, The ability to do a full system scan or just scan selected files, Automatically...
