 How do they keep in business? October 30, 2007

Every year I seem to have such problems with the Symantec software, and with the hopeless support.
This year I bought a new 3-copy licence of Norton internet Security 2008 from amazon because I wanted to consolidate my antivirus on the 3 PCs in the house.
For the first month it ran fine on all PCs.
Now two of them have no antivirus because this software tells me that the licence expires in October 2008, so I need to buy another licence.
I've spent half a day downloading various 'fixes' from Symantec, and it was just wasted time.
The solution seems to be to buy a 3 copy licence each month. What a company! And I get fooled by them every year.
Well, no more!

It seems that Norton have cottoned onto the fact that people do not like restrictive licensing restrictions. With this pack you can install the software onto three seperate computers at the same time and be totally legal.
This is a godsend to a lot of users. Many people now have a couple of Computers (a desktop and a laptop) in the same house. Many people have kids who are off at University with their own laptops. Previously it was prohibitively expensive to purchase two or three copies to install, but not any more.
As to the software itself, well it seems a lot nicer to look at. Norton have evidently given it a 'Vista look' makeover, there are lots of black and yellow screens and buttons with swish glossy highlights. It is certainly a lot more professional to look at than previous versions.
It also seems to be a lot more responsive, Norton Internet Security 2007 seemed to slow down the loading of Webpages within Internet Explorer 7 as it tried to check the pages for Phishing exploits. This latest version seems to load the pages much faster.
The overall responsiveness of the package also seems much faster, which probably ties in with Nortons claims that they've worked hard to speed the program up.
The Norton Protection Centre tab gives a good summary of the protection status of your computer, giving information on Virus Protection, Firewall, Windows Automatic Update, Protection Update, Spyware Protection, Virus and Spyware Scanning, Incoming and Outgoing Email Scanning and Phising Scanning amongst other things.
Another new feature introduced with this version is the Network Map, this page gives details as to whether or not Norton considers your Wireless Network Secure as well as the Security Status of your computer. It also gives useful information as to the Network name of the machine, its status (online or offline), its IP address and also its MAC address.
After having heard the horror stories from people that use Norton 360, I'm glad that I made the decision to use this package on my Windows XP machine (its also apparently Vista Compatable)
So all in all a good return to form by Norton
Much better October 25, 2007

This version is far superior to the previous ones, there are a few issues though. The biggest of which is the add on pack STILL does not have individual user account parental control. So if you've got kids or whatever, and you block certain types of sites, they're blocked for everyone! WTF! They had this feature back in the 2005 edition, God knows why it's been removed now.
It works beautifully though, easy to install and configure, and seems to intergrate with other programs (such as outlook) pretty well. Another minor bug is the liveupdate feature, even setting this in the control panel to interactive mode, it doesn't offer the choice of downloads any more. It just goes ahead and does it anyway.
Everything else about the software is really good, but the lack of parental controls for each user can't be forgiven. For God's sake Symantec put them back!
 Norton 08 - Even better than before October 21, 2007

When i installed norton IS 07 build 2 (and eventually 3) i was very impressed by the improvements made to its speed of scanning, and general resource usage, as previous norton products (06 and before) had been known to be a resource hog and slow down your system.
Now though, 2008 Edition is even faster, more efficient with resources and has more features, including Identity Safe, which stores all your favourite websites passwords, and remembers them, so all you have to do, is log into Norton to access them!
With super speedy scans, minimal resource usage and a sleek black look (which integrates with Aero if you have Vista) this has got to be the best Norton edition ever.
Only bad point..... doesn't come with the Antibot - you have to pay seperately :-(
