    Duration of ownership:1 Weeks

    Strengths: Best NIS yet! Includes password manager & anti-spyware & firewall & anti-virus

    Weaknesses: Expensive

    Overall Evaluation: I've been a Norton user for years, and will qualify this as one of their better releases. The versions prior to 2007 were resourse hogs, and gave cryptic so many warnings/errors that it became too difficult to use. Heck, the 2005 version would constantly have pop-ups about allowing a rule, you would say okay, yet it would come right back. That has not been an issue with the 2008 product. I uninstalled everything, and started from scratch. It's the safe thing to do. The only thing missing from this product is that it does not have any PC cleanup tools (registry cleanup, for example). As a bonus, they have added the equivalent of norton password manager, which used to be included in 2004 version, but then was spun off on it's own. Configuring my home network was easy, with the provided wizard. I noticed no slowdown in PC performance after the install. Highly recommended!

    Duration of ownership:3 Years

    Strengths: Easy to use, auto-updated by itself

    Weaknesses: a little expensive

    Overall Evaluation: I have been a customer of Norton Internet Security products since 2004. I have had my share of problems with NIS including slowness, compatibility issues, blocked sites etc., but it has done an excellent job of protecting my computer. I recently purchased NIS 2008 and installed it on my laptop and computer. The laptop was an upgrade while desktop was a new install.

    Duration of ownership:2 Days

    Strengths: The all in one package. Works on up to three pc's for a one year subscription.

    Weaknesses: Price. IE7

    Overall Evaluation: This all in one solution provides firewall, anti virus, anti spyware, anti phishing, Network security monitoring, Automatic update for updating your software via the internet and more. I have been using Norton products for years and have never had any problems(knock on wood). After reading the reviews for the Norton 360, I opted to stick with the Norton Internet Security and upgraded to the 2008 version. I do recommend this software to all my family and friends. And it usually comes with a rebate.
