Norton Internet Security 2009 Reviews
It does not bog down my system as have previous Norton System Works products. I'm very pleased with this product. I did have a problem with LIVE UPDATE. My only complaint.the wait to reach a technician was LONG. Turns out that Windows One Care was blocking it. Nortons tech people fixed it.
I purchased this and installed it on my P.c and ran it. I will definately buy it again next year. Two days later it stopped a very nasty virus. It is a great product. It has blocked and destroyed numerous spyware in the ensuing weeks.
I have used the product for about three weeks now and have encountered no problems. It updates very quickly and can do scanning in the background as you work on other things. Overall I think this is a very good product. I have it loaded on both Windows XP and Vista. It runs fine on both.
But when it rebooted, it promptly completed the process and advised that all prior Norton remnants were removed. This is the 3rd time in 5 years of trying out Norton Internet Security for me. I had to do a manual shutdown, due to this process sticking during the scanning process for an excess of 25 minutes. Every year prior just wanted to make me scream. But I broke down, after swearing never to use Norton again, and purchased the 2009 version.
Norton, if it stays like this version, will have a return customer back. I have been using the Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 Suite, but after using Norton here, Kaspersky does use a higher amount of CPU usage and the web surfing is slower. As of 1 week of usage, I have no bootup problems, no excessive CPU usage at any time and the internet usage works great (I changed to the advanced firewall settings). After several hours of trying to get 2007 to install, it finally did, but with frequent problems during the usage of it. I always had a software bug during the installation process, even though my computer is new.
This software has a process during the initial installation download that removes any prior Norton software links in the registry and cleans it up, for the download of the 2009 version. Wow, what a change to the better.
It has improved from previous years. Finally, Symantec had listen to there customers. have been using NIS 2009 for the past days, and it is has been great so far. Please note that the full scan was done before I started "Norton Insights". Even with its updating the definitions [etc] (which is very frequent, I will get to that in a moment), you will not notice any slowdown. 1) It is super light. If one check the latest tests, Symantec Norton did a great Job, scoring about 98%.
People change, companies change. These are three noticeable differences in Symantec new Norton Internet Security 2009. This is amazing to say the least. Symantec is now delivering definition updates every 5-15 minutes, which are "small" updates (the bigger updates are downloaded and install every four hours, but LiveUpdate can be started at any time).
Also, the footprint of NIS 2009 has been reduced to about 10MB. This is the best version of Symantec Norton Internet Security till date. There are many other improvements and features that was added, but these three main differences is what giving Symantec it's reputation back. It is amazing to have a Norton product install on my computer, while not even noticing it. Installation was also fast. To see this in a Symantec product is almost unreal.
This is the best version of Norton Internet Security to date. Norton Internet Security 2009 started in about 30 seconds or so, which is by far faster than Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 which sometimes took more than a minute to start up on my computer. They have deliver a lightweight and fast security suite, while still maintaining there top-notch protection. 3) Pulse Updates. On a side note, Norton Internet Security 2009 was faster in scanning in comparison to other Antivirus I have use (i.e., Kaspersky Internet Security 2009, Avast, etc).
One can see all the test results online. Now, those who are Norton Haters will always bash Symantec Norton no matter how well Symantec has improved and perform. It took over a minute to fully installed on my computer. I am not saying NIS 2009 is perfect, for no Antivirus or Security Suite is perfect, but it is a excellent security suite. Till date, I do not notice Symantec updating and installing the updates. I am enjoying Norton Internet Security 2009 and many others are as well. On a security prospective, Symantec is still delivering top-notch protection and security [detection rates was never the problem with Syamntec Norton].
Please note: I am using a somewhat old computer, about 4-5 years old, and yet Symantec is running smoothing and fast. Pulse updates are downloaded and install without a "hag" in the system. On the latest Virus Bulletin 100, only McAfee, Symantec, Microsoft and Sophos passed the test, while several others, including F-Secure, Kaspersky and Computer Associates, fell short of the certification [.]. On my computer, quick scan was quick [less than 3 minutes], while the full scan was longer [about 1 hour 30 minutes]. It is incredible to say the least, but while they basing there judgments on past experience with Symamtec Norton, I and many others, are basing our judgments on the present reality of Norton Internet Security 2009 which is fast, lightweight, and has great Antivirus and Firewall.
It's in there nature. The Detection rate of NIS 2009 are top-notch. I guarantee you that these haters have not try NIS 2009 but are just basing there judgments on past experience and Symantec Norton Internet Security past reputation of being Bloatware and Resource hog. Either case, the amount of data one's have in there computer determines the amount of time a Antivirus/Antispyware take in scanning. Give the product a chance for crying out loud. When Symantec was during there 2009 product lines, there main motives was creating a NAV and NIS that will be fast and light in everything it do and it has certainity achieve that very well. Three things you will notice about this version of Norton:. The smallest footprint I have see in a Security Suite.
Scanning is fast. Thanks Symantec for giving this wonderful product. By using the newest technology of "Norton Insights", which is basically a "whitelist" feature, scanning has been reduced. Try it out, and you will be impressed. As for as Virus Bulletin is concern, one have to go back to 1999 to find a time when Norton didn't pass the VB100% test. I even dumped Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 for it.
2) It is fast. Boot time was faster as well.
One can see what was the last time Symantec updated the virus definitions by opening Norton Internet Security 2009. Don't listen to these Norton haters who are in living in the past. The only ones who have given NIS 2009 bad ratings are Norton Bashers who are still living in the past.
Kaspersky was the pioneer in offering updates every 1-2 hours, but Symantec has taken it to a whole new level by offering updates, on average, every five minutes or so. Keep up the good work. Symantec reputation of having bloatware and slow products are long gone.
They have try to turn the table with there 2008 product lines, but Symantec hit the nail in there 2009 products.
