Customer Reviews


Not Bad
I love the drop down menu for password selection although I learned that this was done with a later version of Norton Internet Security later version. I hope that this product eliminate spamware but I do not like the update of ASK Search included in the Norton tool bar, that is something I can do without and if I knew how to delete it I would.


Making Security Easy
I recently bought a new computer that came with Norton Internet Security. This is the first time that I have used a product that contains an antivirus and a firewall together as one product. I am convinced that an integrated security solution is the way to go. Since the product came installed on my computer I cannot comment on the installation process however configuration for the most part was a snap. I have a network of wired and wireless computers. Defining which computers are trusted by the firewall was easy. Allowing or disallowing program access control is fairly easy also and you can customize the program access rules but this is not for the novice. The antivirus, spyware detection and automatic update features are all setup for safe computing. I really like the log viewer. Using the log viewer I can see separate reports on network or firewall activities, security or intrusion alerts, errors, etc. During normal operation I barely notice that itâ(tm)s running. That being said, I schedule full system scans to run off hours because the scans will compete with other programs for computer resources.


Improved over older versions
I was using the 2006 version up until about half a year ago. There were a few things I didn't like, the amount of time it took to download some of the updates and virus definitions using LiveUpdate was one. Trying to remember how long my subscription was going to last was another. They fixed those issues in the 2008 version. It's great, no complaints now.

Terrible User Interface
I recently switched to this from McAffe, and I think I'll be switching back soon

The Norton Internet Security Window is very helpful only to those who have absolutely NO IDEA how internet security works. For people who want to command the program, it merely tells them what they already know.

Norton's UI is made up of a series of windows and icons that attempt to reach the computer illiterate. They can be turned off, but they give computer-smart users little peace of mind.

For example, the Phishing filter on internet explorer. It sits there, telling you it is "on". So what? I have NEVER seen it do ANYTHING in my entire online experience.

It didn't even warn me when I went to a fake site, firefox let me know and I got nothing from Norton.

Along with this, Norton is highly lacking in features. Unlike McAffe, it doesn't have the very handy SiteAdvisor, which, through the equivilent of Website crash-testing, rigourously checks every icon and file on any given site and gives a rating of how safe that website is.

I can only reccomend this program to those who don't know how to protect themselves and those who just go to a few sites over and over again. Quite like acting as though you had a limited account on Windows.

For those who want to explore without worry, look elsewhere.
