Norton Internet Security protects against all types of online threats. It safeguards your computer, identity, and home network without slowing you down. Completely reengineered for faster, fewer scans and rapid updates, it makes online shopping, banking, and browsing safer and more convenient.

The Norton Protection System is a multilayered system of technologies that work in concert to stop threats before they impact you. Relying on the intelligence-driven Norton Insight technology, it targets only those files at risk, resulting in shorter and fewer scans. Browser protection safeguards you from Web-based attacks. And pulse updates every 5 to 15 minutes deliver the latest updates fast. Version 2009 improves on product performance.

    @karlo: you mixed up the two, pal. Norton has a much faster scanning engine.

    BTW. The latest version fixed all the gripes I had before, so now it's a definite five stars. Thank you, LaG.

    So much better then 2008 and it blows McAfee out of the water. Can't wait to start beta testing NIS 2010!

    Well worth the price, I just got a 2 year 3 user subscription for $22 on eBay.

    This new version of Norton Internet Security is significantly faster than it's previous versions. However, when I decided to scan my entire computer with Viruses using it's "In-depth" scan feature, Norton finished scanning my computer for about 24-49 hours.

    I then decided to download ESET 4. I scanned my computer using the in-depth scan feature. The scanning only took 30 minutes, and it has additional 16 viruses that Norton did not foudn.

    Have been testing 2009 version for a while now, no major issues. I think a better way to use firewall settings would be nice - but the product does it's job. Anyone know of a changelog for this version?

    Great security software. Fast, low on the resources, easy to use, solid firewall, generally unintrusive. The only reason I'm giving this only four stars is its nagging and agressive removal method. Once a file has been branded malware by NIS it will keep bugging you to remove it even when you don't want it to or add it to the exception list.
