Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus

[47]

I want to say that I really love Norton Internet Security 2009.

I have tried a ton of different programs, and I have found NIS 2009 to be the best one.

It caught a bunch of Trojans on my computer that the other programs missed.

Thank you Symantec for making a fantastic program.  

(I hope I posted this in the right section).

Hi 47,

Nice testimonial!  I happen to be very impressed with NIS 2009 also.

And - Welcome to the Norton Community Forums!  (another great benefit of using Norton Products)

I started using NIS 2009 a couple of months ago, and, so far, I agree 100% with "47". NIS 2009 is working just fine on my system.

I like the fact that it is nice and light on the system, as well as getting Pulse Updates, but, apart from that, I am not too mad about it because there needs to be more Options for the "Background Jobs" (B.J.); would be good if "Idle" Quick Scan would NOT run when Idle-Time Scanning if OFF, as well as have a seperate Option for Pulse Updates for the restr of the B.J., or, even better, have a list of ALL B.J.s and let the User choose which ones to have On or Off (by Default,they should ALL be On).  Any idea of N.I.S. 2010, which I hope symantec go with, but we'll have to wait and see...

NIS09 passes if you don't scavenge the web for malware.

Hi Tech :

If you don't like NIS then why to use it .........leave it then  and use anything else

There are many products in the market.........use those who pass every test (including malware ,spyware ,script blocking , encrypted ones and all wild categories )...(antivirus is by default).

You would then not get any kind of infection and no problems at all .

But I  think you would get hardly anyone passing all categories

Best of luck !!!

I would also like to say I like this product very much. Touch wood I haven't had any issues since using this for the past several weeks. I am a returning Symantec user having used a couple of big name security suites the last three years and must say that this product is of a very high quality standard. I found in the past that where you were running a decent product, some companies rush out an upgraded version without enough testing and then everyone has so many problems with buggy software. It is very important when upgrades are forthcoming that they are tested thoroughly first. This security suite is light on resources, it's brill. Also, its very rare to see company employees come onto a forum like this one, which is very reassuring to people. Great forum and nice people here. I have already recommended NIS to a couple of people. Have a great day folks.

     I've used Norton Internet for the past six years.  Some installs were better than others, but it is the same

for any good program.  Make sure you have a clean install.  Shut everything off while installing.  Take old unused programs out first.  New programs can't be expected to run well with old programs. Many "bugs"are

caused by incompatibilities or a lack of forethought. I am just as guilty.  I loaded NIS 2009 into an old

Pentium4 1.6 with 256 M of RAM. It was a little tight.  The system resources did not max out until the scan hit

an ancient Open Office 1.1.  I was lucky it squeaked by. This version of NIS is excellent.  Nothing is perfect, but other posters have offered very helpful suggestions on other "on demand" software that picks up any  slack.  Both of my installs were problem free for a change.  Great product!
