   Reviewing 2010 17.0.0.136 (Oct 1, 2009)

   I haven't tried a Norton product on my system since Norton AntiVirus 12/13 or whatever it was called. I haven't tried version 2009, but I have heard it is really good and runs extremely fast.
   
   Well I just installed Norton Internet Security 2010 and I will be replacing Comodo Firewall and Kaspersky 2009 on my machine. NIS2010 is very fast and is non-intrusive. It installs in 2 minutes! and does not need a reboot, you almost never see it running, it scans extremely fast, and it has a few very nice features.
   
   Norton 2010 scores very good on AV-Comparatives - http://www.av-comparatives.org/
   
   One of the few that scored ADVANCED+ and is in the top 3 in terms of scan speed.
   
   Great job Symantec. Please keep improving for Norton 2011, make it even more faster!

   Absolutely a great product.
   Very light on system resources, infact the lightest I have ever used.
   It even uses less than Eset, which was a pleasant surprise.
   
   I now use this as my main AV/Firewall product, a great replacement from Eset that I had used for years, but ditched as they can't be bothered to sort some small windows 7 compatibility issues out - you just don't need a complacent company like that.
   
   not sure how CyberDoc999 can call it bloated, perhaps a sheltered life from what bloat is out there. (And no I don't work for Norton - I'm a qualified independent IT Professional)
   
   All around good protection, light on resources. Along with my main PC I even have it running on a old acer 240, Windows 7, 512 Ram with no issues.

   I finally got rid of this bloated Monster!
   (it only took me 3 hours to un-install it)
   This made my computer run very very slow!
   (3 ghz dual core system)
   (anyone who likes this works for Norton)

   I have tried nearly every other AV suite out there and wasted so much money trying to prove to myself which was the best. Before 2009 Norton was a little iffy but since NIS 2009 it has been terrific. I have friends call me all the time with virus or worm problems and they are always using some other AV other then Norton. If you can’t install it, then you don’t know what the hell you are doing in the first place! I just upgraded 5 systems in my home from NIS 2009 to NIS 2010 in about 30 minutes. There are people out there that love to hate Norton/Symantec and have Norton derangement syndrome. Get over it! When I have my first issue I will be the first to post it here, until then don’t trust your system to anyone else.

   Well same old crap... to you at Symantec, you are for us customers, we are not for Symantec.
   
   To all at Beta News, if you install this, don´t forget to have a "total removal progarm" on your computer.
   
   You might not like the program and will get almost nut, when try to take away the files that Norton have placed in the registry.
   
   I´m using NOD32, now in a 64-bit environment, earlier in the 32-bit version.
   Never a problem, a customer support that can help you with what so ever.
   It´s a very small program, yet it win almost all test on Earth.
   
   Seem like the reason why Norton try to reduce the program size, and the downloads. 160 mb as a download for an upgrade is in parity with Microsoft.
   
   But for heavens sake this is a anti virus program, not the OS.
   
   I hardley believe I will ever try Norton again.
