Simple, Effective, Outstanding Products
I have been using Norton for years and just like fine wine Norton products just keep getting better. They are user friendly, from novice to expert, and are hands down the best in consumer, as well as business, products available. I would recommend Norton to anyone who wants computer protection as well as products to keep your computer running smooth. Thanks Symantec

It contains basic coverage and should be mandatory on all PCs.
It was easy to download and install. I just let you do all the work. The program is pretty self sufficient with live update but I still check for updates periodically. With my computer being on line all the time, the antivirus software just isn't enough protection. I like the option of parental controls even though there aren't little children using this computer without supervision.

Finally, an anti virus program that doesn't slow my computer down
I've used Norton products for years, and I've tried many others. This is the first time that I've used one (since Vista came out) that doesn't have a negative impact on my computers performance. It has a great learning feature wherein it recognizes virus free programs and then doesn't scan them every time they run. I think this is one of the reasons the software works so well. Congratulations to Symantec.

Excellent!!!
I recently purchased this product to upgrade my expired subscription from Norton Internet Security 2008. I must say what an improvement! The main Norton user interface launches immediately when you want to call it up. The definition updates that run every few minutes are brilliant and you do you not need to anything; they just work. Another thing that is brilliant is the amount of system resources this piece of Internet Security software uses - hardly any therefore does not slow your machine down. Compared with other Internet Security software that I have used before you do not get constantly bombarded with dialog boxes asking you whether or not you want to allow a certain program / service to access the internet, Norton Internet Security just gets on with it either blocking or allowing the program through the firewall unless it is a program that the software cannot determine whether or not it is safe to let through.
I do miss one feature of Norton Internet Security which was the choice of whether to have the Norton Internet Security icon win the Notification Area or on the taskbar. If this was still in NIS 2009 then I would have liked that because I preferred the use of the NIS icon on the taskbar instead of a small one in the notification area. This was because you could see at a glance if there was a problem (red X), Alert (orange/yellow exclamation mark) and OK (green tick).
However, as a whole this piece of software is brilliant and I would recommend it anybody looking for an Internet Security Program that is reliable, quick and efficient with the use of system resources!!

First Class Product
I have been building PCs for approx 10 years and from the start I have always used Norton. I also advise and install Norton on every pc that I deal with. The product is first class over the years of use the interface / design have become sleek and polished and now with NIS 2009 the system resources have been dramatically reduced but the top points must go to the updates - constantly updating whilst the user is connected to the web. Well done Symantec

Excellent Product
I've been using Norton products since the days of Windows 98, and I have to say that I’m very impressed with this product. This has to be the best one yet, it's easy to install, easy to setup and easy to use. I'll be recommending this highly.
