His mother Robin, an English teacher, died of a brain tumor in 1997; his father, Edward Sr. is an attorney and former federal prosecutor under the Carter administration who now works for the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Norton Jr. is the grandson of developer James W. Rouse (also see The Rouse Company), who designed the city of Columbia, Maryland (where Norton grew up) and who also helped develop Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and Boston’s Quincy Market. He has two younger siblings; his sister Molly Norton, who attended Washington and Lee University and his brother Jim with whom he has collaborated professionally.
3 Stars Improved over older versions
I was using the 2006 version up until about half a year ago. There were a few things I didn’t like, the amount of time it took to download some of the updates and virus definitions using LiveUpdate was one. Trying to remember how long my subscription was going to last was another. They fixed those issues in the 2008 version. It’s great, no complaints now. Rating should have been 5 stars, not 3 stars. Can’t seem to change it now.
4 Stars Not Bad
I love the drop down menu for password selection although I learned that this was done with a later version of Norton Internet Security later version. I hope that this product eliminate spamware but I do not like the update of ASK Search included in the Norton tool bar, that is something I can do without and if I knew how to delete it I would.
5 Stars Great Product
I’ve been a long time user of Norton Products (10+ years) and NIS is probably the best version yet. Easy to install and easy to keep up to date are big pluses with the program. It seems to run alot smoother that previous versions of the program, I haven’t seen it “bog down” my system, like previous versions seem to have done. The newer features, like Norton Insight and the Home Network settings seem to be easier to use. It’s worth the money to keep your ssytem up to date…get it!
5 Stars Making Security Easy
I recently bought a new computer that came with Norton Internet Security. This is the first time that I have used a product that contains an antivirus and a firewall together as one product. I am convinced that an integrated security solution is the way to go. Since the product came installed on my computer I cannot comment on the installation process however configuration for the most part was a snap. I have a network of wired and wireless computers. Defining which computers are trusted by the firewall was easy. Allowing or disallowing program access control is fairly easy also and you can customize the program access rules but this is not for the novice. The antivirus, spyware detection and automatic update features are all setup for safe computing. I really like the log viewer. Using the log viewer I can see separate reports on network or firewall activities, security or intrusion alerts, errors, etc. During normal operation I barely notice that itâ(tm)s running. That being said, I schedule full system scans to run off hours because the scans will compete with other programs for computer resources.
