    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Complete Security for my Windows Vista Computer.

    Weaknesses:Must have Microsoft SP2 or above to install product.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought Norton Internet to use on all three of my Windows based computers. It installed very easy on my laptop which has Windows Vista installed. However when I tried to install it on my desktop Windows XP Home Edition I had a problem. It required the user to have Windows SP2 on there system which for some reason did not and will not install with my Windows Update. All in all I would say that this product is easy to use and install if the right Windows based product is loaded or can be downloaded onto your system.

    Weaknesses:Installation time takes foreverslow down the computer speedtake much memory

    Overall Evaluation: I bought several Internet security software and I think NIS is the worst, it slow down my laptop very much and take too much memory. In addition, the installation is too long for me. Generally, I dislike this product and not recommended.

    Duration of ownership: 2 Months

    Strengths: features, reputation, easy to use, 3-user licenses

    Weaknesses:high regular price

    Overall Evaluation: I have used the Norton products in the past. So I am relatively familiar with the user interface. This 2008 version is easy to use. It has more features that I really need. It has anti-virs, firewall, anti-spyware, etc. They update the virus and spyware signature files regularly. It automatically downloads the update - just like other products. Yes, there are many similar products out there but I would rather trust a well-known company. This 2008 version seems to take up much much less computer resources compared with their 2 or 3 generations ago. It comes with 3 user licenses. One downside is their high regular price. Fortunately, you can periodically find a very good sale (with rebates) on this product.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: contains wide range of necessary programs

    Weaknesses:slows down system resources

    Overall Evaluation: This is a well established name in virus protection, but the program noticeably slowed down system resources. An advantage is that Firewall, antivirus and anti spyware protection is included in one package, rather than using separate programs for each. This product was difficult to uninstall cleanly.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: All-in-one features

    Weaknesses:Too much time for installation

    Overall Evaluation: 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.
