Having not been a fan of Norton security products for some years (preferring Trend and more lately Kaspersky) I received a free copy with a computer magazine and gave it a try. I was delighted to find that my previous complaints about the product hogging resources and slowing down my computer were gone.
Installation was slick, configuration easy, boot up quick and it even seems to do the job of preventing nasties infecting my system. I have been so impressed I bought a 6 pack to cover all my "toys".
The good: Quick, easy installation. Low use of system resources. Easy to configure. Not as intrusive as some. Can actually be cleanly uninstalled if really necessary.
The bad: I am sure it is not perfect, but no problems found so far.
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.
RRP: AU$99.99
