McAfee Internet Security Suite

Advantages: All in one integrated product
Disadvantages: All in one integrated product

...picked up on and erradicated. I therefore decided to purchase this 2005 version of McAfee's Internet Security Suite on Ebay for £15. (brand new, sealed box, usually £50 in the shops). For that money it was worth a try I thought.... It was extremely easy to install, very straightforward, prompts you all the way though from installing, registration, activation and set up/configuration as you would expect, generally easy to use on a daily basis - however on daily use I found some of the features to be annoying......... Several threats got through, even though I check sometimes twice a day for updates. I have a continually on, broadband connection and my PC is in a middle room in my house - I walk past it several times a day, keeping it up to date as I go, and it is left on and connected permanently for work reasons. I also dial in to my...

Review of McAfee Internet Security Suite (2005)

Kaspersky Internet Security - average protection

Advantages: Provides basic tools for anti virus, easy to install
Disadvantages: none really, just prefer AVG.

...As a university student we have to pay a rediculously high amount for tuition fee's so the college I am doing my foundation degree in offers free laptops for the duration of the course. The laptop comes fully equipped with Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 and it really does the job. Most anti virus software is available for free with the opportunity to upgrade however it is worth it from a business perspective, to buy something like this. Kaspersky - available from http://www.kaspersky.co.uk/kis25orkav30?THRU&reseller=43021&gclid=COjpgZPllp4CFVtn4wod6BIzlw - is a security software which provides anti virus protection and identity theft protection. I often purchase things online and I, like anybody, have downloaded applications. Loosing work for university would be incredibly frustrating so I am pleased with the protection available...

Review of Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 (PC CD)

Norton Internet Security 2009

Advantages: Quick to Install, Fast, Better update System
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...Over the years i've been a loyal customer to Symantec, Purchasing their products since the time when they used the massive boxes to ship them in. Norton internet security has to be the best version yet. As with all the other Norton security packages, it does its job extremely well. I have to admit that I can't remember the last time I got any virus onto my system. The only thing would be the simple tracking cookie. Slowness People think that when they buy Norton, it completely slows their PC down. Now, this may be true for some of symantecs older security, but 2009 is completely different. The installation time is one thing, Its insane how quickly it installed. Now that its installed I never notice its there, just silently running in the background. Its actually got a new update system which makes it much quicker and less...

Review of Norton Internet Security 2009 (PC)

Internet security at it's best!

Advantages: Full PC Protection!
Disadvantages: None!

...found that Zone Labs ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite generally seemed to be regarded as the best. The latest version, ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 2008, is an all-in-one internet security system. The program includes an OS & network firewall, anti-virus & anti-spyware protection, program control, e-mail protection, parental control and identity theft protection. The firewall has a 'SmartDefense Advisor' feature which allows it to quickly learn the users preferences via a series of security alerts. The anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall all un silently in the background, and alert the user at any sign of intrusion. The user can decide to manually act on these intrusions, or program ZoneAlarm to automatically deal with the situation with the minimum of fuss. The e-mail protection automatically scans all incoming e...

Review of ZoneAlarm Security Suite Complete package

Internet Security for home and business

Advantages: Comprehensive Internet and viral security
Disadvantages: End user complexity

...This article has been updated more info on subscription renewal and GoBack : I recently replaced Norton Internet Securities (NIS) 2003 with NIS 2005. The primary problem with NIS 2003 was the annual subscription update. You need a subscription key, I could not find it. I have not found the key for NIS 2005 yet and have started to use NIS help and support for symantec solutions, a web based customer service virtual agent supplied with the software. It takes a little practice to access. NIS 2005 is suitable for XP Home / XP pro / 2000 pro/ ME / Windows 98. It is less effective for a mac user. The system includes : Norton Antivirus. Personel firewall. Privacy control. Anti - spam. Parental controls. Bonus software Norton Go BACK. NIS 2005 is more comprehensive than it's predecessors although the basic facilities are...

Review of Norton - Norton Internet Security

McAfee Internet security suite 2004 (Ver. 6.0)

Advantages: Lots of useful applications, Very protective, easy to use, quick boot
Disadvantages: drain on system resources

...accross: it even lets you limit exactly what times you want to allow your children to use the internet, very advanced!!!!!!!!!! The main downside of Mcafee ISS 6.0 is the amount of syste resources it takes but if you are lucky enough to own quite an up-to-date system with a minimum of 256mb of ram then i think it will run ok but will cause huge delays and annoyances if ran on an older compter (just look at the recommended specifications!) To round this all off, You cant have an internet connection without an internet security suite and this one has the lot and you will be able to get program updates etc . So if you dont want viruses or your system to collapse BUY IT NOW or you will regret it later Thank you for reading, Daniel...

Review of McAfee Internet Security Suite 2004 (version 6.0)

Norton's '2005 Internet Security'

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...

Norton Internet Security 2006

Advantages: simplicity, effectiveness, features, live updates
Disadvantages: new versions can be quite expensive

...set what your kids can view online, privacy control to safeguard any private information stored on your pc. It also has instant messenger scanning to make sure nothing gets through via that facility. The Intrusion Prevention is highly effective at detecting and blocking online attacks and keeping your pc safe. Whilst running in the background, the program will update itself automatically, and will create new rules for each new program you add, in terms of how that program connects to the internet. All in all, it is a fairly fool proof program that has done an amazing job of protecting my computer and information that I will be using for many years to come. The rest have been tested and don't even come close. If you want something that does its job, does it well and doesn't get in the way while it is working then this is the one for you...

Norton Internet "Security" 2008 review

Advantages: umm......
Disadvantages: Thats more like it !!

...Norton Internet Security came with part of my Norton Anti-virus package, unfortunately, I wasted my money: The norton package was a complete faliure as protection, my computer got numourus viruses and popups of pornography. The apparant internet security let through a hacker that somehow removed all of my data, causing me to re-install my operating platform. The amount of space Norton took up on my computer was extremely robust, and the files often got currupted when i recived a virus (not particularly helpful as an anti-virus). After a month of the space-taking-see-through-firewall, i decided to browse for a knew anti-virus, and i found meny annonoymous packages for 1/2 the price, with no bad reviews on the product (Like mine). I would not reccomend the product for any mannor of computer, as it tends to ATTRACT viruses...

Panda Internet Security 2007 - Not Good

Advantages: Easy-to-use, clear interface
Disadvantages: Bug-ridden, poor detection rates, Vista incompatibility

...I recently bought a PC and requested that Panda Internet Security 2007 and Panda Antivirus + Firewall 2007 come bundled with it. I did not realise at the time that the latter product superseded the former. I had problems installing the products anyway - the versions that came bundled with the computer were not Vista-compatible and as my PC's OS was Vista, they would not install. I contacted my PC supplier, as really they should have seen better than to bundle incompatible software, and they suggested I contact Panda directly, so I did, and downloaded and registered Panda Antivirus + Firewall 2007 from Panda's website. I then downloaded Panda Internet Security 2007 and realised that it had all of the functions of Panda Antivirus + Firewall 2007 plus some extra ones, so I installed and registered that instead. I contacted Panda to...
