I have been using NIS and its predecessors for many years. Yes, I agree that the software declined in performance through the 2008 version. However, the 2009 version was a vast improvement and the 2010 version builds on that. I am still using XP/SP3 on my 3 computers, so I cannot comment on performance with Vista or Win 7. The few times I have needed Norton tech support (usually during installation), I have used the chat system and found it much easier to use than phone support. Finally, I have NEVER paid a net price over $10 for any version of NIS or its predecessors because of the frequent combinations of sales and rebates that can be found easily by searching the internet. I install the new version each year because it is much cheaper than renewal and I get the benefits of new/improved functions.
I have also used the free Avast antivirus software on an old laptop and found it good, but less comprehensive than NIS. For me it is worth the $10 or less per year to use software developed and supported by a major software company.
Symantec products are the definition of bloatware. They are no longer in anyone's top 5 list for security software providers. If you absolutely must pay for this kind of software, buy Kaspersky. However, you're better off downloading the free Microsoft Security Essentials. I am a network admin in charge of over 500 desktops, and Security Essentials detects threats that Kaspersky does not. I won't even compare it to Symantec. Their product only checks for updates once a week! The first thing I do with any newly purchased PC is to remove all Symantec products from it.
I just purchased a new HP PC and during the initial setup I elected to install the trial version of Norton 2010, the setup seemed to work fine but when it was finished and the OS updates installed I could not connect to the internet with my browser. After several hours trying to determine the problem, including talking to tech. support at Staples and my ISP, I finally decided to uninstall Norton. That fixed the problem. I then tried to contact Norton to complain about the problem and found their Voicemail system to be terrible. I did get a priority number from the web, but the VM kept saying it was invalid. No matter what I tried I could not get to speak to a person. This software should at least tell you that it is blocking the user, I would reccomend that you do not install this software when setting up a new PC. At least wait till you have your pc working before attempting to install Norton, then you won't waste hours of your time trying to figure out what is wrong.
This is my fourth year using Norton Internet Security. I haven't had any problems. This year I've added a new laptop, which uses Windows 7, to the mix. I already have a Vista laptop and an XP desktop. The Norton product seems to work just fine on all my systems. I haven't experienced any slow-downs like I did with Trend Micro (a Norton competitor) in years past.
I'm probably not a very intense Internet user, but I am always connected through a 7 mbps DSL line. I tend to only check my email, browse news stories and blogs, and buy books at Amazon.
The Norton product updates itself regularly, so having a high-speed connection is probably a good thing -- though the Windows 7 laptop often accesses the Internet just through dial-up since my nieces frequently borrow my laptop and take it home for weeks at a time. No problems seem to arise doing that.
I bought Norton Internet Security 2010 for my wife's new Windows 7 laptop because the internet security software provided by our i.s.p. does not support Windows 7. We share data back and forth on the two laptops within our l.a.n. and, a couple of weeks later, my laptop was attacked by a virus but hers was not. Norton protected hers, but the other software did not protect mine. This software is for three computers, so when I managed to get mine put together again, I removed that software and installed Norton. It is amazing how much faster my laptop boots and shuts down and how much faster everything loads. I also like being given a ready, and easily understood, option for dealing with change. Another benefit is that I don't have to fight Norton to get into my own network when I first turn on my laptop as I did with the other software.
With state of the art protection, small file size, unobtrusive and easy interface, Norton is clearly the best internet security suite and I don't plan to ever be without it again.
I bought the Norton Internet Security 2010 in a last attempt at saving my computer before turning it over to a professional. I had a virus and a boatload of spyware that had prevented me from accessing the internet at all and slowed down most other functions to an almost dead stop. I was able to download the Norton through safemode (after un-installing the very effective McAfee!) and then I defragemented. It was like a freakin' miracle! I'm back on track and I'm sure a professional would have charged me over $100. Maybe much more! The Norton has let me know several times when it detects spyware and tracking cookies. A little added bonus is the identity cards that allow you to store passwords to frequently used sites. I feel safe using this function because I feel very safe with Norton!
Exactly how I expected....1 CD and 3 user licences. Such a good deal on the price. Great product!
Nice, smooth programming, and not too intrusive. I especially like being able to save passwords and log in without typing all the time.
I have had to replace various versions of Norton on friends and family member computers after they were about ready to throw the computer out the window or strangle someone at Norton. This is a company that seems to go out of its way to frustrate customers with lousy software and arrogant customer service. Worst of all the programs are unreliable! Norton always seems to lag behind on catching and eradicating the latest viruses. Given how much work it can be to fix a computer that gets infected, I'm not going to use or recommend anything but the absolute best program regardless of cost. I have been using ESET's Antivirus for quite a few years and installing it on friends and family computers. I have never had a virus infect any computer with ESET's Antivirus program running on it. It is relatively inexpensive at under $40/year but recommend buying the 2 year plan.
After having had a lot of problems with my computer, I've been running Norton Internet Security 2010 without any problems. It seems to run quite well without the constant popups, "Warning: somebody is trying to gain access to your computer. Do you wish to..." that I've found with some programs. It pretty much runs on its own. What's more, I'm beginning to think that the virus protection program I'd been using (CA, Computer Associates) that comes free with my internet service was the culprit for the constant computer problems I'd been having. (I never had problems with CA when I ran it on an old Windows XP laptop, but my newer Lenovo with Windows Vista was constantly crashing and we could never figure out why. I'm starting to believe that the CA program, which is said to be a resource hog, was the culprit.) Anyway, Norton seems to be running just fine. And the price of my subscription sure beats the program I'd been using, even if it was free.
