best release yetStrengths: reliable; does not slow down my system Weakness: you have to download the Ad-On Pack for added features This is the best release yet. 2007 slowed my system and this version does not. The interface is simple and easy to use. I don't know why they make you download the Ad-On Pack. Why not just include it in the CD? Otherwise I don't have any complaints.

Has all I neededStrengths: Has anti spyware in it. Weakness: Cannot co-exist with other software and do not have a customized installation, intallation is not pain free for some machine I have been a user of Norton software for a long time. I loved early days Norton Antivirus in 90s. The previous software I used were the system work 2003 and NIS 2003. However, the NIS 2004 was really a disaster software and forced me give up on NIS and only use McAfee antivirus software which is free from our university. At the end of last year (2007), I have some good deals to get a NIS 2008...

Norton Internet Security 2008Strengths: Good product, Easy to use, Easy to keep up to date Weakness: Product Activation, Can be slow I have been using Norton Internet Security since it came on the market. The product performs as advertised and is a comprehensive approach to online security. I have found that the speed and performance of the application is substantially faster if installed on a clean system. Overall this is a solid security application and one can tell that over the years the application, for the most part,...

decent internet security softwareStrengths: no strength Weakness: still hang up the computer This new version is not better than the old versions. Well, it can still remove some viruses and spywares but it does not work as efficiently as Kaspersky softwares. After installation, again you have to reboot the computer and your computer will be slower than normal.

Norton internet security 2008 goodStrengths: strong function Weakness: price I have been using norton internet security for a couple of years, and I choose it for many reasons. The installatio is fast. I feel really safe when I surf online but the boot process seems a bit slow after stalling Nortin Internet Security 2008 so that I can consider it as a four star product.

Symantec Norton Internet Security 2008Strengths: Best NIS yet! Includes password manager & anti-spyware & firewall & anti-virus Weakness: Expensive I've been a Norton user for years, and will qualify this as one of their better releases. The versions prior to 2007 were resourse hogs, and gave cryptic so many warnings/errors that it became too difficult to use. Heck, the 2005 version would constantly have pop-ups about allowing a rule, you would say okay, yet it would come right back. That has not been an issue with the 2008 product. I...

Great Protection!Strengths: The all in one package. Works on up to three pc's for a one year subscription. Weakness: Price. IE7 This all in one solution provides firewall, anti virus, anti spyware, anti phishing, Network security monitoring, Automatic update for updating your software via the internet and more.

Norton Internet Security 2008Strengths: Easy to use, auto-updated by itself Weakness: a little expensive I have been a customer of Norton Internet Security products since 2004. I have had my share of problems with NIS including slowness, compatibility issues, blocked sites etc., but it has done an excellent job of protecting my computer. I recently purchased NIS 2008 and installed it on my laptop and computer. The laptop was an upgrade while desktop was a new install.

So-So anti-virus protectionStrengths: Catches about 60% of the viruses I threw at it Weakness: Doesn't catch 40% of the viruses I threw at it I think the title says it all - so-so anti-virus protection. As an experiment I threw about 30 different viruses on my machine. IS08 only caught about 17 of them. Dismal but the ones that it did catch - it cleaned the files. Also - easy on memory utilization.

The very best in the market
Strengths: All-in-one features
Weakness: Too much time for installation
Unlike the previous version, Norton has really worked on the personal firewall and scanning your computer. Although, its an all-in-one package, it takes a long time to install and slows down the system booting to a great extent. Run some registry cleaner after its installed and then reboot your system. The booting after this step is back to normal. Overall, a very great work by Symentac.
