Customer Reviews

“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.”

Editor Reviews

Norton’s Internet Security 2008 is a comprehensive package to protect your computer from viruses, hackers and spam. With Internet Security 2008 you are free to use the internet without worrying about malicious software that could damage your computer and people gaining access to your important files.

Norton Internet Security 2008 provides a large amount of protection for your computer and beats many other security solutions due to its wide range of tools that offer not only antivirus utilities but much more. You are protected from identity theft by its antiphishing technology and fraudulent website protection, secure from unsolicited emails by its advanced spam filter and kept hacker free by its firewall. Even though it has many tools available, it is easy to set up and use with the user given complete control over the level of security of their system

As Norton Internet Security 2008 is such a complex program, it may result in a slightly lower performance than usual in older PCs. While this can be seen as a negative aspect of this software, some would argue that the comprehensive protection that Norton Internet Security 2008 provides makes up for the slight slowing of a system.

While lacking some of the optimizing tools provided in Norton 360, Norton Internet Security 2008 features an impressive amount of tools to keep your computer safe from attack while on the internet so you can browse, email and shop in confidence.
