Also, there is a link to Norton Boot Disc that helps if you can or can't get online due to a virus. This is another helpful program. For instance, it tells me if a particular program (like Firefox or Explorer) is hogging up an unusual amount of memory. It adds a "reputation" scan to determine the reliability and trustworthiness of your existing programs. But the free stuff is still a great stop-gap measure. I know you can get free internet security but I have trust issues with them.
There is virtually no noticeable slow down (I have a gateway NV79 w/ an Icore5 processor, 4GB of DDR3, and windows 7). When my laptop is idle, the antivirus starts running diagnostics since resources are freed up - not when I'm actually trying to get some work or leisure done. In previous generations the software would still function, you just couldn't get any new updates to your virus definitions, etc. But if you let your number of days count down to zero and boot up your computer the next day, Norton won't load. Another time I was seeing file-transfer slowdowns to a mapped network drive; support "chatted" me through a few exclusions, and the transfers went back to normal speeds. When I see NIS on sale here for around $36, I just go ahead and buy it for next year's renewal.
I feel like my computer is very safe with it. It's very user friendly.
Runs so much lighter and finds more threats. Most days I forget I even installed it because it's effect on performance is so minimal. Just slide the Disc in and follow the instruction. A good example of this is that when using the Password (identity) Safe. The 360 system takes a long time to fill in the username and password.
I would highly recommend it to anyone who is concerned about keeping their computer safe and secure. Since I've had the Norton Products installed on my PC peace of mind is the name of the game, since I know my system is protected at all times. Once set up almost no interaction is required. Best of all though, Norton runs quietly in the background using very little in the way of my computers resources. Whatever you do, do not install McAfee, at least not this year's version. I usually find the best price here (about half of what Norton/Symantec charges for a renewal!), plus it's nice to have a physical disc to use when installing NIS to 3 PCs.
It is often cheaper simply to buy a new license (in a 50% off sale) than it is to renew the subscription. I have been using Norton Antivirus and then Norton Internet Security for as long as I can recall.
I have been using Norton for several years and have been virus free. I have used Norton for years and works well.
