Advantages: simplicity, effectiveness, features, live updates Disadvantages: new versions can be quite expensive
I have been using Norton for a few years now, and have tried several alternatives. Some free, some not. To be honest I just don't feel safe on-line without Norton safeguarding my computer any more. Without wanting to bash the rest, they were slow, awkward, difficult, lacking in features whereas Norton, well I forget its running most of the time. The 2006 edition is great if you're a bit low on money and can't afford the new 2007 edition. 2006 still ... ...you insert the installation disk Norton takes over and guides you through set up, offering you options on various levels of protection for your system. Finally it updates itself on-line, then it just seems to disappear into the background and carries on with its job while you carry on with your work. Since installing Norton I have not had a single virus or suspicious email. The cost of this program, particularly through sites such as ebay is easily ...

If you wish to install any other Internet security program on the PC you will need to visit the Symantec website in order to retrieve removal instructions, as it is the most annoying thing in the world to get rid of, as you cant take ...

Advantages: takes care of all security-issues, good to handle Disadvantages: seems a little expensive at first glance but offers best value for the money
...bundle like this instead.
Norton is popular for the easy handling, that's what I had heard before buying this and sure enough installation is made very easy for everyone, you answer a few simple questions, register and off you go. The auto-update-feature downloads the newest software- and virus-updates and performs a scan on first start and that's basically it. Even the firewall isn't hard to set up, which was the biggest surprise to me because ... ...have to take Firewalls 101 before being able to configure it for my system;). In fact the firewall "learns" your online-behaviour and adjusts to it, so after some time the warnings you get become fewer. There's even an invisibility-mode so no one will be "watching" you while you're surfing on the internet. The virus-protection is also very solid and comes with integrated anti-spyware features. So you don't have to install freeware like adaware separately, ...

Advantages: Well priced, easy to use and install Disadvantages: None that I've found
...was running a version of Norton Anti-Virus, a Sygate firewall but little else. I needed a complete package at a good price.
A quick visit to Amazon offered the 2006 version of the Norton Security Suite for a touch under £25. I've always found Norton products easy enough to use and generally well supported. Price wise it was the best on offer and I felt safe with a brand that's well known.
I received the software today; you certainly can't mistake ... ...installed and then popped in Norton 2006. The software boots itself up and the installation is pretty easy to follow, in fact you can just sit back and just make a few clicks along the way - it does the rest.
After installation, the software needs an Internet connection to update with the latest virus threats. I found the update extremely quick on a 1mb connection and again it done it all itself without any real effort required.
Having now had ...

Quick review of Norton Internet Security 2006
I found Norton incompatible with other software so when I moved to another provider six moths ago I cancelled my cover. Since then my credit card have been twice illegally debited by the firm (once for an add on I did not require or request and, a few weeks ago, for another years subscription). I am going to have to get a new credit card to fend off this firm so be warned - once they have got your card, they have got you. ...
