Even with this great virus protection program. New Viruses are always being created so Symantec have created a Live Update program that allows you to update and enhance the range of protection this program can give. This requires the internet and connection speed is not an issue, because most of the updates are relativeley small (about 10-500kb).
Norton Internet Security runs on the task bar and it doesnt take up much ram and the minimum requirements are quite low. The minimum requirements vary for each Operating system.
Windows XP - 300mhz processor, 128mb RAM Windows 2000 Professional - 133mhz processor, 96mb RAM Windows ME - 150mhz processor, 96mb RAM Windows 98 - 133mhz processor, 64mb RAM
You Will Also Need: 200mb Free Space On Your Hard Drive DVD/CD ROM Drive Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher
If you don't know the speed of your processor or the size of your RAM you can find out by clicking on the start menu, click on run, type in "dxdiag" and it will display your computers information on screen (this only works if you have direct x on your computer, all computers should have it installed anyway).
Norton Internet Security is a great and essential program for you computer and is certainly something you should invest in. The bundle costs £29.99 but prices vary. You can buy this from and good pc/computer shop. I got this from pc world for £29.99. I highly suggest you buy this and you will not regret getting it.
The only con of the Norton Antivirus family is that in the box you only get one years subscription to the antivirus program and after this you have to either re-subscribe or buy the new version which will be 2005.
Advantages: Antivirus + firewall all in one Disadvantages: Copyright protection built in that can frustrate the honest consumer

Advantages: Scrapes to do what it claims. Disadvantages: Major problems with compatibility and stability.
NortonInternetSecurity2004 forms part of Symantecs new all-in-one internetsecuritypackage (hence the name). It boasts integreated Antivirus, Firewall, Spam, Privacy and Parental Control protection.
In plain english, this simply means that any nasty's that you might happen to catch unwittingly from the Internet (as 99% of modern internet users do according to recent studies) this program can deal with them all.
Features:
No doubt that Symantec has packed this 2004 release with features, this jack of all trades feature is the new standard for Antivirus software, and only Commercial setups can now receive them as standalone proection.
Antivirus:
Viruses can be a real pain, I should know I have had many a fatal system crash because of them. Antivirus protection is now essential, InternetSecurity finds and removes all ...
Advantages: New Features - No other Rival has Disadvantages: Customer Support - Poor
comparison is very small to other software you may install such as the average computer game being 5 times as big in mass. You don?t have to be a genius to customise through the installation options, the default settings provide almost perfect security, never the less, Norton provides the option to customise which files to install and which options to enable for those more confident and advanced users.
The most impressive feature for me in this program that separates it from the competition, is its real time virus scanner, which is activated when your in the middle of downloading a file contaminated with a virus, deletes it, and lets you carry on downloading, making the file harmless and safe for the user. This generates yet another layer of protection for your pc and adds a great convenience, removing the annoyance of having to delete the file ...
Advantages: Keeps your computer safe from viruses... Disadvantages: ...if you still have an operating computer after installation!
I only 3 days ago downloaded the 15-day trialware of NortonInternetSecurity2004 Pro (yes, I had the fine idea of downloading the huge installation file of about 33 MB - took me over 45 mins).
In the middle of the installation process windows crashed - blame Bill about that, but Symantec should had taken that under consideration - so I had to un-install and re-install the InternetSecurity program with minimum setup. So, it's obvious that many older PCs - like mine, which was bought back in 2001 - will face problems during setup.
However, after you are done with setup you discover that NIS creates more problems than the ones that solves:
Yes, it protects your PC from viruses, worms and other "bugs". It also protects your PC from hackers, spammers and spies. It creates a secure working and surfing environment. But it ruins your ...
