  • Faster scans; frequent micro-updates; lower CPU and memory footprints; Firefox support; protocol-aware browser protection; task-queuing on battery power; alert-queuing during full-screen presentations, movies, and games; dynamic anti-phishing look-ups
  • Anti Spam component needs work; parental controls are limited

  • Abstract:  Norton is particularly easy to use. The virus scanner, log history and quarantine areas are immediately obvious. The same screen displays your internet options, which let you enable and disable your firewall, intrusion protection and email scanner, ...

  • Scan speeds and boot times are significantly reduced
  • Good detection rate but not as good as Avira and Avast!
  • Norton Internet Security 2009 represents a dramatic improvement over its predecessor. Security has been improved but the most noticeable gain has to be responsiveness: less intrusive than Norton 360, sometimes it’s hard to tell if NIS 2009 is runnin...

  • Symantec Norton Internet Security 2009 is a strong, well-balanced security suite and its upgrades this year make it even better. Users angling for the absolute best malware detection, or people who need backup functions in their suite, might find a be...

  • Leaner footprint, Improved speed, Whitelisting and other technologies to mark clean files as trusted, Free technical support
  • Lacks adequate online technical support, Drives users to its paid technical support services
  • Norton Internet Security 2009 hits all the right security notes and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks, though the lack of adequate technical support may continue to frustrate.

  • Abstract:  Last week I received an email from Symantec’s PR Firm, telling me about the new Norton Internet Security 2009. Being fed up with Symantec and their bloated ways over the past couple of years, I normally would have just hit delete. But before I could...

  • Minimal performance impact. Extremely effective spyware and virus protection. High-powered, comprehensive firewall. Free, proactive support. Phishing protection. Automated log-in, form-fill. Network map with remote configuration.
  • Antispam misses too much, blocks too many valid messages. Rudimentary parental controls. Network map allows no remote correction of reported problems.
  • This is definitely the slimmest, most unobtrusive Norton ever. Its protection is top-notch where it counts, though antispam and parental controls are still weak. As the best all-around security suite yet (Ill be installing it myself), its our new Edi...
