I have used Norton to protect my PC against the dangers of cyberspace for about 4 or 5 years now. I usually pick up the software at a reduced price in September for about £30, when the following year's version has just been released onto the market.

Norton Internet Security has a whole of host of features to keep my machine safe whilst I surf the net. It warns me about virus threats, adware and spyware, and resolves any related issues that may arise. It also monitors the legitimacy of the websites I visit with a handy phishing filter and keeps hackers at bay with its own firewall.

The NIS user interface is very user-friendly and once set up virtually looks after itself. The package keeps up to date with the latest threats with its "live-update" facility, and automatically gives my system a full-scan to check if anything has slipped through the net. If any problems are highlighted, NIS deals with them accordingly.

When I have had technical difficulties in the past, Norton has always been able to connect me to a specialist who can resolve my problem with the least amount of fuss. This usually takes the form of a free telephone conversation or chat room meeting. For more specialist viral-related problems, Norton provides a fee-based virus removal service.

Thank you for taking the time to read and rate my review.

This software sounds good in theory, but in practice, as an IT engineer myself, I've found that it slows most people's PCs down to such a crawl that it often needs to be uninstalled and a less spec-hungry app used instead. But it sounds like you must be one of the lucky few whose PC seems to be able to tolerate it!
