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...

Norton 360 - Be careful

Advantages: All round Protection.
Disadvantages: Can slow computers down.

...I bought this product at the same time that I bought my laptop - this got me a discount. I chose this product as I am now a student and the university network requires us to use full pc protection/anti-virus software. Norton 360 has been known to greatly slow down computers and my computer at home is now struggling to cope with the software. I would therefore not advise you to buy this software if you are using an old computer with a small memory. However, my laptop has coped extremely well with it - when I installed the software it barely made any changes to the laptop's speed. I even have all items of the software running in the background (e.g. Auto-Protect) and it barely slows my laptop down at all. In my opinion, it is only best to buy Norton 360 if you have, or are buying a powerful system. My laptop is a Dell inspiron 1545...

Norton Anti-Virus - made me feel ill!!!

Advantages: Easy to install, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: Extremely poor customer service

...From what I have heard, most people have a satisfactory experience of Norton, however for me it was a complete nightmare. It is reasonably priced, as I'm a great believer in you get what you pay for and it's the most trusted name around. I'd checked the system requirements and was told by the salesman in Currys that it's idiot proof to install. I have a laptop and so i went straight home and tried to install it. The initial installation was fine, very easy to follow the instructions and seemed to work straight away. The problems came when it came to activating the product. For some unknown reason, it refused to connect to the Symantec server. I'd read the manual which was very helpful, and followed the steps (checking for parental controls etc) but to no avail. In the end, I decided to call their helpdesk which was...

Review of Norton Internet Security 2009 (PC)

Norton - Excellent for Security

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. Installation ************* Inserting the CD into the CD-ROM and waiting for the installation to load automatically is half the installation because the user only needs to select where they want it to be installed and what type of installation they want and all that is left is to sit back and wait. With in a few moments the software has been installed and a system restart is needed. When the system has started up again the system will start from now on with the anti virus loading every time as well as the firewall with a couple other features as well. This makes for no need to have to think about clicking on Norton every time the computer starts. There are also no boxes...

norton 360 internet security

Advantages: three pc needs in one place
Disadvantages: a little expensive

...I bought this just after my trial period on my new computer ended with norton, i was quite impressed to begin with as norton 360 has the ability to do pc tune ups, backs up your files and does all of your internet security. Although the back up facility does not last long as it only offers you 2gb of storage, which if you have alot of music, pictures and files this goes rather quickly. On the up side to this you do have an oppertuniy to purchase more space. The pc tune up is brilliant, it speeds your computer up and keeps it up to the performance you expect, although ive recently found a free microsoft product which does exactly the same thing. The subscription only lasts a year which i think isn't really that long considering the cost of the product, although i feel when its bought on offer it provides justice. You can use this...

Review of Norton 360 v3.0, 3 User Licence (PC DVD)

Nortons Forward Thinking

Advantages: Norton Internet Security 2008 offers solid protection for your desktop
Disadvantages: The way that it slows your PC down to a snails pace

...While Symantec's protection is set in stone, the average users experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be greatly improved. Not all the features work together, and the program could use fewer system resources. And paying to call support is not really playing fair on their part, as the software is not free in the first place. Specs: License qty: 3 users; License type: Complete package; Min Operating system: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic, Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2, Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2, Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, Microsoft Windows Vista Business, Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP2 SO all in all a great adition to the Symantec family, and easy enough to use even for novices!...

Symantec Norton 360

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: everything

...After buying a brand new computer last November complete with a trial of Norton and having no problems for 3 months, I decided that Norton were the "way ahead" with Anti-virus programs and therefore shelled out a costly £60 for the Norton 360. Installation was simple, consisting of a program that apparently enabled the removal of all other Norton programs that had been previously installed. I also installed the same program on two other computers in the house, as this is a feature of the program, up to 3 computers can share the antivirus for a year. This all seemed amazingly simple for a simple computer user like myself and therefore my initial thoughts of Norton 360 were impressive. This didnt last long..... after having the product installed only a couple of days I recieved a message on-screen saying there was a problem.. Norton...

Review of Symantec Norton 360 Beta

Nought for Norton?

Advantages: Scrapes to do what it claims.
Disadvantages: Major problems with compatibility and stability.

...Norton Internet Security 2004 forms part of Symantecs new all-in-one internet security package (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, Internet Security finds and removes all...

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...
