Pros: Includes anti-virus software; zaps the pop-ups, and labels the Spam, Spam; good firewall protection! Cons: Resource hog! Slowed my P4 notebook down to a crawl; corrupted my profile.
Broadband, now that we (the spouse and I) have had our accelerated on-ramp to the Internet for the past three years, we couldnt imagine living without it. Going back to dial-up now is almost unthinkable. Nothing beats the always-on aspect of high...

Pros: Firewall Antivirus Anti-spam = Good software for the price Cons: Installation can be difficult
This review is moved and updated from it's old location under Antivirus 2003. I apologize if you read the old review - I thought that it should be in the right category, now that they have it - and added some new thoughts about the program to ...

Pros: All in one security package. Decent price after rebates. Seems to work well. Cons: Download from Symantec is a bit confusing. Traffic blocking not intuitive. Pay-for support is expensive.
My system: AMD 600MHz, 768MB RAM, 128MB ATI Radeon, Cable Modem, Windows XP-HE-SP1. The OS installation was made on a reformatted hard drive less than 1 week prior to installing this software so the OS is very new.

Pros: Protects from hackers and blocks ads and popups Cons: None I can think of
I used to have tiny personal firewall on my computer and it worked great - but now they have commercialized it and at work they gave me the Norton internet security instead. Although not as invisible as the tiny firewall the norton one does the job and it ...

Pros: Sometimes it works as stated. Cons: But most of the time it doesn't.
I bought my copy of NIS 2003 on line several months ago. I was actually only looking for AntiVirus, but since they've bundled AntiVirus with InternetSecurity I thought I might as well get the whole thing. A big mistake, as it turned out.
Immediately...

Pros: Excellent Internet Security protection; superb anti-virus control; good firewall; many more features. Cons: Some installation problems; NO free support from Symantec;
I had been running Norton Internet Security 2000 for about 2 years and since that version does not support some of the new virus definitions with Live Update, I decided to update to the 2003 Version.
This is a great improvement over the 2000...

Pros: If it worked it would be great. Cons: VERY poorly written, crashes OS, causes many more problems, bad support.
I have been using Norton and Symantec products for nearly 20 years. They have been the cornerstone of PC utilities, diagnostics, and repairs. I have recommended them to thousands of my clients and customers over the years and made it a priority to...

Pros: Very small install, nice notification features. Cons: Takes up some resources to run.
When I first received a Norton's Internet Security CD, I was thinking what can this do better then the firewall hardware we use on our current networks? So to test and see how good this software was and to see what the hype was about, we connected a web ...

Pros: Free e-mail support (if you know where to look), they give refunds Cons: Doesn't work on Windows 98 when they claim that it does
I still have a 400 MHz PC that came with Windows 98. It is plenty fast enough for home use, such as read e-mail, pay bills and surf the web. I like to just stick with the original operating system until I buy a new PC so that it will continue to be ...

Pros: Lots of utilities in one package, easy to use, good unified interface. Cons: Utilities are not nearly as good as competing products. Support is expensive.
Norton Internet Security came pre installed on my new Viao computer with a 90 day trial. First off, god help you if you need Norton tech support. Symantec is focusing on enterprise software, consumers are definitely being given the razz. Secondly, ...

Pros: I will promise you, that you will never find more powerful than norton Cons: You can not find any errors on it
Greatest In The World In my opinion there are less than 10 top good and reliable and useful. Toolkit seris, PCCilin, Norton internet securtiy, IrIs, MCAFee, Panda, and so on a few others. And the companies that generate virus scan software and ...
