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 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...

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...

Norton's '2005 Internet Security'

Advantages: Good complete package
Disadvantages: Noticeably slows down speed of system once installed

...notice a reduction in processing speed, but I was quite disappointed with this version in that respect. Also when opening the programme itself, it takes a while. All of the PC's I've installed this on are Dell 8300 Pentium 4's. Most have more than 512Mb RAM, mine has 1Gb RAM - most are 2.8 - 3Ghz processors, but still we think it has slowed our systems down noticeably. Apart from that, the product itself it second to none. It has 'worm protection' that stops certain damaging internet worms at the point of entry, rather than letting them get into your system, then detecting them when it's too late! It removes viruses (from both email attachments, your PC, and also scans any any external media - CD/floppy disks etc. for threats) It also removes worms and trojan horse programmes. The programme also detects 'spyware' (programmes that...

McAfee Virusscan Plus 2009

Advantages: security against virus, virus explosion
Disadvantages: nil

...This is one of the best anti-virus softwares in the market today. Say this with great confidence as I am the user for the last two months. The best part of it is the regular and effective set of updates made available to the users. This helps prevent even the latest form of viruses be detected and deleted. I have had the experience of virus attacks as I use the pen drives and the internet regularly to share files with friends. But McAfee has bailed me out of virus spreading every time I had one attacking my system. I can?t explain them all but my whole hearted thumbs up to McAfee for helping me keep the system safe and secured. While my friends who used other anti-virus softwares had to format their system to clean the virus I never had to because of the security I enjoyed and enjoy. After realising, my friends too have shifted to Mc...

Norton Internet Security 2006

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 has all the features, works without bothering you, is thorough and effective, and is so easy to use I have never had to check the manual that came with it. When 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...

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...

Review of Norton Internet Security 2003 Complete package

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...

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...
