Norton Internet Security

Virenscanner

In comparison to other Anti-Virus software, Norton Internet Security Suite offers Anti-Phishing Filters, an intelligent 2-Way Firewall and recognizes Keyloggers automatically while eliminating those threats as well.

You will appreciate that Norton Internet Security Suite also scans all known banking and shopping web sites for legitimacy. Your home network will also be watched to give you maximum security.

Norton Internet Security does not seem to have great weaknesses, likely to be found in the lead or middle position in comparison testing. Norton's firewall could use some improvements, though. All-in-all, you get a well-rounded security product which can stand up to the dangers of the internet.

In comparison with other Internet Security software Norton stands out positive with respect to their clean user interface. This makes Norton Internet Security by Symantec a good buy for Novices.

Advantages:

  • Easy, Clean Interface
  • Uses Low System Resources
  • High Virus Scanning Speed
  • High Virus and Misc Treat Recognition
  • Few False-Positives
  • 5-15 min. Reaction Time To New Viruses

Disadvantages:

  • Only for Windows XP, Vista OS

Summary:

Thanks to constant advancements Norton Antivirus, again, can be seen as a serious contender. The Norton Internet Security 2009 Suite well protects you from the dangers lurking online.

I was not thrilled with the previous version of Norton Security Suite. It was relatively slow and that bothered me. However, since I purchased the new version my pc runs markedly faster. They have done some work.

I have been using Norton Anti-Virus for years and am quite satisfied with it. I upgraded to Norton Internet Security Suite by Symantec a few days ago because I also wanted a firewall. So far, everything is running perfect. I hope it stays like that.

Am using Norton since 2007 and never had a problem. On the contrary, my system starts fast. I never had Viruses or other threats on my system. I am looking forward to Norton 2010. The previous versions convinced me that nothing is better than Norton.

I previously installed a free Anti-Virus and thought that was enough. I now have Norton Internet Security installed which promptly found some Trojans which my free Anti-Virus missed.
