Norton Internet Security

I can't write an honest review,

by: Charles K on 04-May-2008 07:29:14 PM

Pros: I can't write an honest review because i don't use it. i just wanted to drop my penny's worth. I'm thinking, maybe we're a little to hard on old Norton these days. The virus scan rates 96.83%. i.2% behind Kaspersky. Not really to shabby now, is it? Their removal tool works , for those who didn't know, if you want to uninstall it. The interface is professional looking and for those wanting a full set of features, their all in ithere best I can tell. Unlike the common belief that it's expensive, it can be had at buy cheap software for a paltry $20,00 a year. Just shop on line but not from Norton, please!

Cons: It's my belief that no suite is bullet proof. On a new machine this one should be fine though. Hell, six / half dozen or the other anyway!

Norton Internet Security

Need I say more? One star!

by: JoyceNgo on 20-Jan-2008 09:05:04 AM

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!
