Advantages: Blocks your computer from unwanted threats!

Disadvantages: Slows computer down considerably.

Norton Internet Security - over priced and just a constant nuisance, but better than having those pesky viruses which are so easy to get.

Defends agains a broad raneg of threats, including spyware and viruses.

Transaction secutiry safeguards you against online identity theft.

Back up and restore - gives you a certain memory block dedicated to backup and restore so you dont lose your important files.

Pc tuneup - makes your computer tweaked and keeps your computer running at top performance at all times.

1 year protection for upto 3 PCs per household for around £70.

Sounds brilliant doesnt it, dont be completely fooled though.
I bought this having previously used Norton, and getting it offered for £30 with my new laptop, however i feel its a constant nuisance asking me to do things and it seems to slow my computer down as well, as it is always using processor power.
THe online storage where you can back up important files is also only 2GB which i dont find very enough, so i use a portable hard drive for back ups instead.
Firewall protection worked well and automatics updates are constantly being released, however this means your computer seems to be constantly installing and downloading these new updates. Slightly annoying.

However Norton is a good brand and does what it says, but look out there is just as good protection out there for less than £70. Try and get Norton in special offer periods.

Summary: Useful software blocker but expensive at around £70.
