User reviews of Norton Internet Security 2008
Need I say more? One star!
Pros: It came with my mother's Windows Vista laptop and it was free for a certain amount of time.
Cons: Even though it was a free subscription, this internet security suite is MAJORLY INTRUSIVE. Lets start with the scanning. Even though people said it's very accurate, it also takes VERY LONG. Sometimes with no detections at all, you wasted about four hours of your life just for a full system scan. Also, it couldn't act the way it says but not be all bloated. I really dislike how they added the site advisor bar, it's big, ugly, and makes IE even worse and a lot more slow! Then comes the memory usage. It was ridiculous! Norton constantly has a Liveupdate running, high RAM usage processes, and constant nagging and annoyance about everything. The laptop has 1GB RAM and ran incredibly slow due to Norton Internet Security. Lastly, the price is ridiculous.
It honestly makes me NOT want to use the product and makes me NOT like antivirus software. There is a lot of freeware that does better than this. I do not recommend this!
RAM usage
After the subscription, with the full program, you can set up scan times and update times. But yes, Norton is notoroius for system usage.
