Time with product:

Strengths: easy installation, periodical upgrades

Weaknesses: slows down computer to crawl

Summary: I am satisfied with my purchase of Norton Internet Security 2007 I upgraded from Internet Security 2006 to NIS 2007 . Upgradation was smooth and easy.It ran a full system scan and found and removed some problem files. However since I upgraded I noticed that it slowed down Windows to crawl.It remember to run updates periodically. It has a feature that reminds you when Symantec has an update ready.It comes with add-ons - Antispam, Ad and popup blocking, and privacy controls.This product is so far working great.

Strengths: Vista compatible, User Friendly Security Features, Realtime protection, and Automatic Updates

Weaknesses: Noticeable resource hog, parental control features must be downloaded

Summary: Vista compatible, User Friendly Security Features, Real protection, and Automatic Updates. Noticeable resource hog, parental control features must be downloaded not included on the CD. Got a bundle which includes Norton Partition Magic and Norton Ghost 12.0. Great deal money-wise including manufacturer's rebates. Was basically free.

Strengths: Smooth installation; Configurable interface; Good value if you catch some rebates; Norton reputation for good detection rates.

Weaknesses: Noticeable resource hog if you run all features; Anti-spam, ad blocker, parental control missing unless you download them (free); Tech support (if you need it) is pretty bad.

Summary: This version has changed significantly from the 2006 version. The look of the interface is different - it looks improved, but may take a bit of getting used to if you're very familiar with the old feel. I haven't had any virus worries since I bought this, but the weight on system resources is noticeable. You may want to turn unused features off if it bugs you. It makes you wonder why a big name like Symantec can't manage to streamline their programming. Bottom line - you won't have to worry about viruses if you buy this software, but it won't just run in the background unnoticed.

Strengths: Protects your PC from many dangers, easy to use

Weaknesses: Slows down your machine somewhat, somewhat expensive

Summary: Norton is consistently ranked as the top security software, and for good reason. This software is a great improvement over the previous versions, providing enhanced protection in an easy to use interface. Norton Internet Security should be enough to ensure that any computer is safe from Internet perils. It's worth the added expense.
