Hi I prefer Norton Internet Security I have been using it for years
and feel more at ease with its functionality.

Thanx shakeym and welcome
....and not to forget.... the growing performance.... great work...
That was the most named reasons not to buy Norton.

I agree with you! But I’m a Chinese user, the Chinese version is a little different from the English one. I also tried the English version, it’s really good ~
I like NIS, but I prefer Norton 360 2.0 because:
-it has less performance impact, faster system startup.
-it has better and easy to understand UI
-provides PC Tune-up.
The only thing I don't like about 360 is that it's not customizable enough.
Otherwise, NIS is great in itself. No complains about it.
I prefer NIS (2008), been using (NIS) it for 3 years and must say that the last 2008 version is the best one, not just because open beta testing.

What would you like to customize?
I've always preferred NIS but started using N360 last August. I ran into some problems with LiveUpdate but finally worked through them. I needed an on-line backup, so I was motivated to keep 360 despite having great experiences with NIS. I downloaded and installed N360 V2 recently and have been very happy with the improvements, although backup is still a little funky.

What do you mean with "although backup is still a little funky" ?

What would you like to customize?
- Alerts cannot be ignored (i must turn on Windows Update and scan for viruses every week)
- Cannot defragment specific drives, N360 defrags all drives.
- unable to delete files from quarantine
- cleanup lacks of options
- registry cleanup should be improved, I think WinDoctor finds more errors.

Must admit I agree on all facts.
You are right. Luckily you have a choice wether to use them or not
That's a good list :) I have a huge external drive with digital media that soaks up a lot of cycles that really doesn't need to be scanned
How do you feel about the N360 backup and restore console? I liked the catagorical approach at first and didn't think about it until I went to restore a Thunderbird mail profile while migrating to a new computer. Only then did I realize that it hadn't been backing up my thunderbird profile - just an orphaned outlook pst that was part of toshiba's stock software that I had uninstalled after first getting the computer. I was lucky that I didn't run into a disaster before noticing it and was a little bummed that the "Email" catagory wasn't smarter...

Personally, I don't use the backup feature, but this may not be a good practise at all
Otherwise, I think that backup is improved in v2.0, and you can always add manually additional files to backup.

I like the Back Up.
I use it to back up my stuff to a external HDD
i have one of those big external hdd's too, but I'm always a little nervous about a hardware failure on it... digital music can generally be recovered from original cd's (assuming the house wasn't lost in the disaster), but the pics from the last ten years would be impossible to recover. i thought the extra online storage in 360 was a little pricey so went with mozy for that reason. not sure if i should sweat losing the hdd as much as i do - never had a problem with it or any drive i've had in the last decade or so, but the consequences of a failure are significant enough to give me pause...
