NORTON INTERNET SECURITY 2009, November 14, 2009A good reliable internet security package, November 11, 2009I was a bit apprehensive about using another Norton product since past versions have been such resource hogs that they slowed my computer down to an unacceptable level. But this version seems to have risen… above that and I have noticed very little interference from the product and no noticeable slowdown at all. It has a wealth of features and seems to work fine using the default settings for the multitude of options. Updates are handled during "idle time", which I think means when the user is not performing some task. Overall I have been very satisfied with the performance of the product. One exception, which is not really a major concern to me, is the spam filter doesn't seem to work. I can create a spam list but the messages still show up in my inbox and not in the Norton Spam Folder. I am pretty sure that there is an option I don't have set correctly but it just isn't worth the trouble to find it. I usually recognize spam and just delete it. This is a good buy for an excellent piece of software.
Old version works fine, October 20, 2009EXELLENT COME BACK NORTON!!!, October 15, 2009In my years experience as a PC Tech there were many times that I would need to format the HDD to remove this product, not to mention it being a resource hog and simply bogging down the computer. Norton has… finally hired come competent programmers and have produced an excellent product in reference to the Norton Internet Security 2009, 2010 is even better! I highly recommend NIS 2009 and 2010! Great work Norton!!!

The review of Norton Internet Security 2009 here focuses on features rather than testing. Anti-spyware performance is not addressed at all. (Note: ConsumerSearch is owned by About.com, but the two don't share an editorial affiliation.)
