Norton Internet Security 2009

By (cnet.com)

Internet Security 2009 has a leaner footprint, improved speed, white listing and other technologies to mark clean files as trusted, and free technical support.

Despite its free telephone support, Norton Internet Security 2009 lacks adequate online technical support and, either intentionally or not, drives users to its paid technical support services.

Norton Internet Security 2009 hits all the right security notes and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks, though for some technical support may continue to frustrate

Norton Internet Security - Review of the Norton Internet Security 2009

By Becky Waring (laptopmag.com)

Norton offers the most robust-and most nonintrusive-security software suite yet.

Speedy installation and performance, Frequent micro-updates, Extremely deep feature set, Minimal CPU usage, Free tech support via e-mail/chat, free phone support for a year

No setup wizard, Difficult to discover features

"Great product, awful company"

By (cnet.com)

Great software, assuming you never have a nee... 

The software itself is excellent. 5/5 for the program.

Their customer support system is the most backward, tangled up steaming load that I have come across for quite some time. Phone numbers on their website are incorrect. Wait times are obscene (and hideously misquoted). 1/5 for the support.

"Big Improvements in NIS 2009"

By steppinwolf (cnet.com)

NIS 2009 surprised me with the number of impr... 

Improved interface, far less drag on Windows performance including startup times, very stable, Norton Insight reduces number of files that have to be re-scanned, overall good protection without frequent nagging pop ups seen in similar products.

Management of logins in Identity Safe is slightly better, but still needs work to provide better control. Online support Knowledge Base is still not very useful.

"It fixed my computer problem"

NIS 2009 sorted out my viruses which is more than my Norton 360 could do

Buying Norton 360 was a waste of money. I should have bought NIS 2009 to begin with. Installing NIS 2009 automatically removed Norton 360.
