  Duration of ownership: 12 Months

  Strengths: Solid protection against malware attacks; simple interface.

  Weaknesses:Not well integrated; slowing down PC system to a crawl if CPU is not fast enough.

  Overall Evaluation: Although Norton Internet Security 2008 is a solid security suite, it suffers the same problem of resource hog as the previous version. In a slow CPU system, it could bog down the whole system to a crawl by using too many system resources at time. NIS 2008 is fairly simple to use and efficient in keeping your PC safe from nasty viruses, adware and phishing scams. You cannot go wrong with NIS 2008 if you system could sustain the required overhead. You do have to renew subscription annually to keep the automatic live update service active on up to three computers.

  Strengths: Good internet security protection

  Weaknesses:Large overhead slowing down system performance

  Overall Evaluation: Norton Internet Security 2008 is among the leading internet security suites available on the market. However, it takes up so much system resources that users with a slow single core CPU system might want to consider a different internet security package from another brand. For fast CPU systems, Norton IS 2008 is a good choice for solid online security protection. I would not recommend it for system with marginal CPU performance since it could occasionally slow the computer to a crawl. Although Norton Internet Security 2008 is sluggish at time, it has never failed me in detecting viruses, backdoors, Trojans, phishings, and other malware attacks.

  Strengths: works wonderful

  Weaknesses:Slow the PC slightly

  Overall Evaluation: I've used Norton Internet Security for years. When I bought my new Dell desktop with Windows Vista pre-installed, Norton Internet Security installed seemlessly and has worked wonderfully. This version has some great new features - including a 'network' map feature allowing you to see any computer on your network. I highly recommend this product for any computer that has Windows Vista pre-installed. This version seems 'smarter' than previous versions and is working for me, not against me. It seems to know its job and sits quietly on my task bar defending my computer with a wide range of powerful tools...that have only slowed my computer down very slightly.

  Strengths: Complete Security for my Windows Vista Computer.

  Weaknesses:Must have Microsoft SP2 or above to install product.

  Overall Evaluation: I bought Norton Internet to use on all three of my Windows based computers. It installed very easy on my laptop which has Windows Vista installed. However when I tried to install it on my desktop Windows XP Home Edition I had a problem. It required the user to have Windows SP2 on there system which for some reason did not and will not install with my Windows Update. All in all I would say that this product is easy to use and install if the right Windows based product is loaded or can be downloaded onto your system.

  Strengths: None

  Weaknesses:Installation time takes foreverslow down the computer speedtake much memory

  Overall Evaluation: I bought several Internet security software and I think NIS is the worst, it slow down my laptop very much and take too much memory. In addition, the installation is too long for me. Generally, I dislike this product and not recommended.
