Norton Internet Security 2007

Strengths: "Norton Internet Security" seems to be the best security "suite" for retail customers. Intuitive. Has a "best" firewall, in addition to their "on-top-of-it" virus program. If you're using Windows XP,

Weakness: It is a space hog, so if your computer is already running slowly, consider an anti-virus rather than a suite. Before installing, first remove any and all previous Norton products by using Norton's rem

As a suite, this is the premier. Much better than McAfee has yet produced. If you want individual programs, rather than a suite, there are many other good products, most of them free, for home or small-business computers.

No longer different user accounts

Strengths: proven security for many years

Weakness: no longer user accounts that would allow different configuration of parental control for different users of the computer. Also, slows down computer and constantly interrupts with updates etc.

After installing NIS 2007 I realized that there was no parental control. With some difficulty I discovered on the Norton website an add-on download for parental control. In trying to configure it I was most disappointed to realize that you cannot configure parental control for different users (only one setting for all users of the computer). Technical support confirmed that NIS 2007 has no longer...

Parents take heed

Strengths: Virus, spam, and spyware intervention seem to work great.

Weakness: Poor integration of parental controls

For 2007, the parental controls are an add-in application that you have to down load off their website. This was the main reason for buying this version. Should have been integrated as in past versions.

Norton Internet Security REMOVES Parental Controls

Weakness: Norton has REMOVED Parental Controls from NIS 2007.

You can download basic parental controls as a free add-on to the program, but it only allows for global settings, not "per account" settings. Even if they add it back, all those custom settings....they are gone! Here is their "stock" response, when you contact them. "Please note that in Norton Internet Security (NIS) 2007, you may not be able to select Parental control accounts. These options has...

Norton Internet Security

Norton Internet Security adds peace of mind when viewing Web sites as it displays a "fraud monitoring" banner at each site visited. This is particularly useful when making purchases online.

Good Product

Strengths: Contains fraud monitoring. Seem to run quicker. Allows full scan to run in the background using less memory.

Weakness: I no longer have "this is spam" button with my MS Outlook.

Norton's has changed the layout of the setup menu. Seems to run quicker. Allows full scan to run in the background using less memory. Nortons Internet Security is a stable and good product and comes from an established company. Many manufactures may have a better product at a given point in time, but NIS will always be a good stable software package.

NAV 2007

Strengths: Very complete virus, spam, Internet, etc. protection

Weakness: Probably too much. It consumes large amounts of CPU at times, and I often see my hard drive turning for an hour or more. I don't know what it's doing, but it takes a lot of resources.

Better have at least an Intel 3000 series CPU or better and 1 GB RAM minimum. Shut it off if you do video editing or any other resource intensive process.

Norton Internet Security 2007

THE GOOD: Norton Internet Security 2007 has a lower price, runs faster, and includes cutting-edge rootkit and behavioral monitoring features found nowhere else. THE BAD: Norton Internet Security 2007s single-user-license edition is no longer available (minimum now is a three-user license); requires twice as much disk drive space as McAfee or ZoneAlarm; no antiphishing toolbar for Firefox; no ID...

Norton Internet Security 2007

Frankly, we used to dread installing and testing Norton's security suites, because it was an obtrusive and intrusive resource hog that seemed to overwhelm a user's PC. Oh, how far the brand has come with this release. Norton is now among the sleekest and most user-friendly protection suites around. It seems designed to satisfy both "set and forget it" types who don't want to bother with the...
