“I bought this product after previously using Symantec's security products (anti virus, firewall, anti spam etc.) and because I've always felt safe and secure and have never had any problems with them before. The product itself is second to none. It has 'worm protection' that stops certain damaging internet worms at the point of entry, rather than letting them get into your system, then detecting them when it's too late! It removes viruses (from both email attachments, your PC, and also scans any external media - CD/floppy disks etc. for threats) It also removes worms and Trojan horse programmes. The programme also detects 'spyware' (programmes that track where you go and basically spy on you, while you're surfing the net). The firewall will 'hide' your PC from the outside world, making it invisible to hackers etc. 'Intrusion protection' automatically blocks suspicious incoming traffic. It also has an inbuilt 'network detector' so it changes your setup when you transfer from stand alone operation, on to a network - useful for laptop users that come into the office and connect to their company's network. The anti spam programme included it also goodand very effective, blocking most 'illicit' and 'fraudulent' spam messages, as well as general advertising spam, putting them into a spam folder.”

This is a comprehensive package that will protect your computer from viruses, spyware, spam and hackers. Norton Internet Security 2008 provides you with the tools you’ll need to surf the internet without worrying about malicious programs and behaviour attacking your system.
By combing antivirus tools with much more, Norton Internet Security 2008 offers a lot more than many other security suites currently available. It features anti-phishing tools to help you stay safe from identity theft and fraudulent websites, keeps your inbox free from unsolicited emails and gives you a firewall to keep out intruders.
Much like most other security programs, using this may result in a slower performance of some older PCs. This is because of its comprehensive nature. Don’t let that scare you off though, the tools are easily usable and configurable for beginners and experienced users alike.
