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. I understand that in having a package, using many different programmes (anti virus, anti spam, privacy, firewall etc.) running in the background, you're bound to ...
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 ...
Advantages: Overall, a very nice, well-rounded package. Disadvantages: slows system
Many people have installation issues when useing norton products , but I have XP Pro with SP2 and installation was straight plug and chug. It took all of about five minutes to install and configure. The utilities featured in this package are complimentary to the other programs. It also includes Ghost 9.0, which is a $60 program on its own, and the GoBack feature has saved my behind a few times after bad XP update installs.
There are also the typical set backs that come with norton antivirus, the auto-protect feature takes a while to kick in after the system boots up, but nothing too serious (a couple of extra minutes, maybe). Also, the Auto Update feature that keeps your virus profile current is only updated every Wednesday. You can go to the website to manually update profiles on a daily basis, but that kind of defeats the purpose ...
