Norton 360, or Internet Security

Which one is faster and will slow down my computer less? Norton 360, or Norton Internet Security.

And they both provide the same protection right? It's just that Norton 360 has backup and PC tuneup which makes it different?

The foloowing link wilol provide you with a comparison of the two programs.  In a nutshell, what you said about NIS not having b/u and tuneup as N 360 does is the basic difference.

 

Speed - NIS 2012 has an updated engine as compared to N 360 at present time.  The new version of N 360 is in Beta testing and will in fact have the same engine as NIS once it is out of Beta.  I can't tell the difference in load factor between the two, but there are some differences in scans (what is scanned and how long it takes) in the new NIS 2012 vs N 360.

 

I'll leave that explaintion to one of the Guru's who have been doing the Beta testing of both programs.
