I’ve recently been reading a ton of complaints around the web about the Symantec Norton Antivirus and Internet Security Suite of software. The following little review has been written in response to those complaints:
One of the biggest complaints that I read about Norton Antivirus and Norton Internet Security is the cost. For me, however, the annual upgrade on Norton Products always ends up free–at least it has since the turn of the millenium. Inevitably if you wait long enough their rebates come out that make the upgrade to the new product absolutely cost free. This holds true even with their full suite which may retail at $70, but I’ve managed to get 5 copies for various computers I manage at a final cost to me of $0. Actually, with Amazon. com because I get a discount because of the A9 search engine, I think I’ve managed to earn a couple of bucks by installing Norton Internet Security. Next year, I’ll use the rebates to do the same.
With Internet Security, the concerns of many people who are against Norton and Symantec (especially firewall) with the exception of the resource hog issue (Symantec really needs to address this issue) are handled.
Symantec needs to fix their technical service side of things by offering free help of at least some sort. They need to tone down the issues of resource hogging. But as lon as they offer me free upgrades every year and consistently maintain virus-free computers (6 years virus free on all on the computers I’ve managed: usually 5-7 at one time) I’ll stick with Symantec. Nevertheless, despite these pitfalls, as long as I can keep upgrading for free and my systems remain virus-free, Norton is my source for internet security and virus protection.

Norton Anti-Virus 2006 continues the legacy of perhaps the most well known anti-virus software on the market. Norton was one of the first to introduce e-mail scanning, and a couple years ago introduced script blocking and expanded threat (i. e. Spyware) detection. While the expanded threat detection remains a work in progress, the AV engine is still top notch, and the script blocking and worm protection features are very solid.
This recent version will tax your system if you have an older PC, so make sure you pay heed to the system requirements. Despite the perceived “bloat”, on a recent PC, you will likely not notice an appreciable “slow down”.
My one complaint about this version is the Norton Protection Center, which is nothing but an annoyance that serves to point the user to other Symantec products. This service can be disabled, but it isn’t easy.
All AV companies have gone to the subscription model, with only 12 months of updates provided, so you can’t fault Symantec for that. Keep your eyes peeled in the fall/winter each year, and you will likely find that you can upgrade to the latest version (and another 12 months of updates) for little or no cost after rebate.
