5 Stars norton rocks!
Norton was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and grew up in Columbia, Maryland. 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.

Whether you join an unsecured wireless network at the airport or a safe network at home, we detect it and protect it with the appropriate security policy.

Essential Protection from Viruses and Hackers
Whenever a computer connects to the Internet, it is vulnerable to viruses, worms, and hacker attacks. And more viruses emerge every day, capable of causing severe damage to sensitive files and hard drives. ZoneAlarm Antivirus combines award-winning antivirus security with the world’s #1 network and program firewall and an operating system firewall. The result is multi-layered, proactive protection that’s more robust than basic antivirus solutions because it not only removes viruses already on a PC, but also stops new viruses before they can even infect it. It also features the exclusive SmartDefenseTM Service, which automatically configures security settings to keep experts and novices alike protected against the latest outbreaks.

Comprehensive Antivirus Protection

• Award-winning antivirus automatically scans and removes viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. Users can change, update, monitor and customize settings via the intuitive interface. Received PC World’s World Class 2005 Award.
• Advanced proactive detection uses heuristic-, behavior- and pattern-based analysis to detect unknown viruses and malicious programs to protect against emerging threats.
• Automatic hourly updates stops the newest virus attacks, with new signature that are available faster. Reduced update sizes make updates virtually instant.
• Multiple automatic scanning options find viruses in emails, compressed files, and in files accessed by a PC (when a file is opened, accessed, written, or restored from disk).
• Broader coverage also protects from keyloggers, backdoors and other dangerous malware missed by most antivirus engines.

The industry’s best anti-virus is the only one with hourly updates You get an antivirus database + an extended threat database. You get hourly updates–an industry exclusive. And you get fully automatic, maintenance-free operation. Perhaps that’s why experts choose ZoneAlarm Antivirus over the competition.

The legendary ZoneAlarm firewall It’s counted on by more people than any other. It wins more awards than any other. And it’s the only one with an extra layer to stop the worst spyware–including root kits–from damaging your computer’s operating system.

SmartDefense Service

• SmartDefense Advisor automatically provides safe recommendations on whether users should allow or deny Internet access to programs that request it.
• DefenseNet acts as an early warning system to keep PC security updated from the latest spyware attacks using up-to-the-minute intelligence from the ZoneAlarm community.
• Outbound filtering tells when a program on the computer is trying to access the Internet, and prevents unauthorized or unknown programs from sending out personal information.

2 Stars Not bad
Not a bad product, the only problem I am having is that the automatic updates do not work. Have to manually download updates from the website.

I suppose I am getting better protection if i am using a Pro version, but not really sure.

Spyware never seems to update when i click on the “update spyware” link, alwasy reads “not responding”.

If I could go back in time, I would have stayed with the free version.

I wouldn’t recommend it nor would I buy it again.

3 Stars Mixed feelings about this product
I bought this product because I had downloaded a demo version from their site that worked pretty well. I had to reformat and reinstall my programs, and when I tried the product again, it slowed the internet connection to the point of it being useless. I have since removed the software, and I am a bit reluctant to install it again on the system, even though I have the licensed version, afraid that it will mess things up to the point of having to reformat and reinstall, which would be a small catastrophe in my case. The first time worked like a charm, the second time it was awful. I don’t know what to do with it now. I am waiting for a “computer wiz” friend to help me decide if it is a good idea to install it or not.

3 Stars Bought to upgrade to new version for 20% of cost
Bought this old version to upgrade to 2007 version, worked fine and only cost 20% of current version. Software works ok…buy and update the sw–>then dload the update which is really 2007–>good to go

5 Stars Rated the best by Consumer Reports Magazine
I just go the Sept. 2006 Consumer Reports magazine. ZoneAlarm was rated the best for all-around protection. See pg. 27.

3 Stars It’ s good that I reviewed the notes from the folks.
Free is always good especially if the firewall is “high-rated” by many publications. I am an old firewall “wolf”, so I know “ins” and “outs”. I installed the free version of ZA to several home and small business PCs as well as to my laptop. I did not have any problem until I have decided to install it to my own, main PC at home. The installation requests to reboot the PC. My PC is configured carefully and protected with various programs: registry cleaner, anti-spyware, anti-virus, and hardware-based firewall. It happened the first time with my PC when after reboot I’ve got only blinking cursor. Wow! Is that “something”, or not? I had to power the PC down 2 times (!), booted in the Safe mode, rebooted, powered down again, and only then the XP Pro got back to normal. In spite of some booting problem (that I did not contributed to ZA at that time), after 2-3 days of functioning with ZA, I have decided to look at the buying options (eBay and Amazon - the most reasonable prices). Thanks to all reviewers, I have decided NOT to buy the product, especially because I know that the “blinking cursor” problem was attributed by the firewall software (and it’s not a good sign), and also because it is the Check Point’s product, and obviously the technical support is provided by Check Point. I know this company for a long time; I am the Check Point Certified Engineer. I highly respect the original, industrial strength Check Point’s firewall (NGX, etc). The ZA is a product that was acquired recently. What I have experienced myself that Check Point’s technical support s**ks big time. I assume, the same situation is with Zone Alarm, so, I’ll use the free product until I will find something better or until it fails again. Maybe version 2008 will be better?

4 Stars best I’ve found
this is the best internet security I’ve found. It does slow things down when scanning, but all programs I’ve ever used have slowed things down.

I have found that using Firefox browser leads to FAR LESS spyware on my machine. When I use IE I usually have 20-30 spyware caught by Trend Micro. Using Firefox there is no spyware.

3 Stars 2006 Norton Internet Security Software is a loser
I have been a satisfied Norton user for 8 years now. As usual, I was about to upgrade my 2004 Norton Internet Security module to the new 2006 update, here’s what happened:

1. I was asked to remove all my Norton software from my computer before installing the download (duh! I had no back up of the program or install file on my original software.)

2. The program de-installed Spam Blocker from Norton as well as NISS.

3. The 2006 upgrade installed smoothly. Went to try and get onto the internet with my Microsoft Outlook that I had been using for the last 5 years and it would not work.

4. Called technical support (India). Took four calls before I could get anyone that I could understand.

5. Told me to de-install and re-install (twice) 2006. Did that. Still would not work.

6. Support technician said the problem was Microsoft Outlook or Explorer that had been working fine until I installed 2006 upgrade.

7. Spent 5 days trying to get help. Finally took all Norton off my computer. Explorer and Outlook worked fine. Lost Spam Blocker, but reinstalled and is integrating well with Outlook.

8. Called American Express and told them to void my American Express charge of $49.95 to Symantec.

Will attempt to put just Norton Virus Control back on my computer since I still think it is the best, but will never consider Norton Internet Security Software of any kind in the future.

PS - I just extended my service contract on my other computer using the Norton 2004 software and it is working fine.

4 Stars Norton Internet Security slows down my system to a crawl
NIS 2005 AntiSpyware edition came with my Dell computer that I purchased that year. While I’m satisfied with the protection that it gives me, I find that the computer moves very slowly at times, especially at startup. When I start up my computer, I take a 5 minute snack break to make better use of my time. I’ve since updated to the 2007 version and observe the same thing. Norton has too much going on in the background, which greatly compramises system speed. For optimum protection with greater efficiency (smaller footprint), I recommend trying NOD 32 Antivirus, available through [...].

2 Stars Wrong product shipped
They shipped the wrong product I asked for 2000 they sent 2005 which is not compatable with my operating system so Now I can’t even use the product.

1 Stars Norton Internet Security 2005 Antispyware Edition creates as many problems as it solves
After reading many reviews, both postitive and negative, of the Norton Internet Security 2005 Antispyware Edition, I went ahead and purchased it. I have been a Norton user for years, so I decided to take a chance. It installed easily and worked beautifully for almost two months. Then my computer started crashing. After many attempts to find the root of the problem and after much expense, I am convinced, as other reviewers warned, the Norton software is to blame. Now I cannot turn off my computer without its crashing; I am unable to update my antivirus protection because I get a message via the Norton software that it cannot make an Internet connection. (I have followed all directions for correcting this that is found on the Norton website, but nothing works.) Also, the software really slows down the receiving of email. And forget getting any help from Norton other than what is written on their website. In essence, I have paid a hefty sum for software that causes crashes, causes sluggish performance and worst of all, cannot give me up-to-date protection. I feel totally ripped off. So tonight I am going to uninstall Norton (which from past experience I suppose will involve more than a simple uninstall click) and try PC-cillin.

I would recommend any potential Norton buyers to beware.

1 Stars Norton Internet Security and Antispyware

I had to send back to Symantec. It would not download on my computer as I have Windows ME. I was told the 2005 edition would download on my computer, but it wouldn’t. They are sending me a refund.

I appreciate the fast service and the good attitude on the phone, and politeness given to me. They were ready to please the customer.
