I was always a Norton hater from the past when it killed your pc by slowing it to a crawl and getting it's hooks into every bit of a pc making it a nightmare to remove.
But having installed the 2010 version on my parents laptops, I am pleasantly surprised. No longer resource hungry and very good at doing its job. Check independent test reviews and you'll find most of them put NIS at the top of the list as best security.:)
If I wasn't using Kaspersky 2010 ion my pc as it comes free with Barclays (although this is also a cracking package, much better than their 2009 version) then i'd happily use Norton now.;-)
Yes you can also get free software such as AVG and Avast, but they're free for a reason and it's because their not as comprehensive or capable as the ones you pay for. Don't believe me on this either, look again at the independent tests where AVG is coming nowhere near as high up the same table.:x
Voted Hot for a good price:thumbsup:
Not one for me, but good price if you like Norton. :thumbsup:
Also, watch out for the new anti-virus companies renewal policies. Some of them, you need to put your credit card details in on registration and they automatically renew unless you opt out every year.
Hot for price... not for product.

Least our posts are product related........................oops, except this one :thumbsup:
quote from the above article:-
"Utilizing innovative technologies that crank up your PC's protection without bogging down its performance, Norton Internet Security 2010 remains the best overall security suite on the market".
And from the full review:-
"Small Performance Impact - Despite the new protection technology, the 2010 suite is still thrifty with system resources. It added 36 percent to boot time in my testing, which is not bad. True, newcomers K7 TotalSecurity Version 10.0 and eScan added less, with 7 and with 19 percent respectively, but they offer less protection.
The browsing test took no longer with Norton installed—most impressive. It slowed the file move/copy test by just 5 percent, beaten only by K7 with 2 percent and Panda Internet Security 2010 with 3 percent. In a similar test of zip/unzip operations Norton added 5 percent, bettered only by eScan and Panda with 4 percent. And it added a not-bad 27 percent to the time required for automatically installing and uninstalling large Windows Installer packages. Overall it's very good. That makes two years in a row that Norton has done well in my performance tests—I'd say the suite's past reputation as a resource hog should definitely be dead and buried".
Have to agree with that based on the PC's I've installed it on. The 2010 version is nothing like the product of a few years back, (which is what most critics on this site seem to be basing their warnings on).
they did what the customers wanted, made it lighter, faster and better.
Am now using Norton 360v4 and its using less RAM than Eset Smart Security was.
its around 8mb of RAM and I have a pic from my task manager to show it.
Anyone slagging off norton now, hasnt tried the new products through either arrogance thinking they know better, or just cos they have their head up their backside.

Succinct - but probably pretty accurate! :-D
h and r for OP
Totally free and deosn't slow your computer to a grind stone like Norton and Mcafee

And you are comparing a stripped down free antivirus against a full blown Internet security package?
Comparing Avast internet Security aginst Norton, Kaspersky,Mcafee is comparing like for like.............................although it works out dearer than this:-D

try again. you fail
Norton using 8mb of RAM on my PC RIGHT NOW.
I accept this is a full retail version, but an OEM, 3 user version of mcafee is just £6.50 on oyyy.co.uk - I bought one with my new laptop and it arrived yesterday, working perfectly!
There is nothing wrong with norton internet security 2010 at all,
it does not slow your pc down (that was very old versions several years ago)
It does not constantly "nag" you with pop ups and questions, it uses a database of trusted apps and processes, which removes the need to do this - fantastic :w00t:
Norton tech support is very good, have you ever used it?
