5.0 out of 5 stars Essential security software, 23 Feb 2003
By 
P. Jones - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Norton Internet Security 2003 (AntiVirus, Firewall, Spam Alert, Privacy & Parental Control) (CD-ROM)
I recently bought this product because I am running a network with three other people, and my computer is the Internet Gateway. I was mostly concerned because we are all Students, and have important files, like incomplete essays, lecture notes and other coursework on our computers.

Upon opening the box, I was presented with an extremely comprehensive manual, and the installation CD. Before installing the software proper, I had to scan my computer from the CD, which was as easy as putting the CD in the drive and rebooting. Installing the software was even less painless, a simple matter of inserting the CD and following the on screen prompts.

The included software is everything you need to keep your computer secure, the highlights of which are the firewall and antivirus, but includes privacy control, spam alert and parental controls, while LiveUpdate automatically keeps every part of the suite up to date. Everything runs quietly in the system tray, only disturbing you occasionally to inform you of critical threats, or to remind you a complete system scan is due. Basically, it leaves you alone and just gets on with it (Why can't all software do that?). If you do decide to tinker with the settings, the menu system is well thought out and grouped into categories. Everything is very well explained, but in English not computer, helping you make informed decisions.

The price is very good for such a comprehensive and essential piece of software (don't forget if you're a student like me, you can apply for the student license which is cheaper, also available from Amazon.)

All in all, I strongly recommend you invest in some form of Internet Security, and in my personal experience Norton comes highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says on the box!!, 17 Feb 2003
By 
Matthew Coleman (St. Neots, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Norton Internet Security 2003 (AntiVirus, Firewall, Spam Alert, Privacy & Parental Control) (CD-ROM)
First things first, i've only brought this package today, but so far so good! But maybe i'll get a better impression of the software over time, but hopefully not, I want it to work immediately!

The installation of the software was a really easy, nothing to do what so ever - just sit back and when your called upon, the requests are really simple to understand.

The setup was painless, so much so that I checked around to make sure I hadn't missed the optimization of my system.

When installed you get two icons installed on your task bar, one for the virus software and the other for your internet security. Both are designed to be as simple as possible - no issues there for me.

I immediately did a virus scan and it found quiet a few that wasn't picked up on my last virus scanner!! I had a problem with 2 viruses which NIS couldn't remove or quarantine, but if you go to the Norton website and find out details of the virus they will show you another way of getting rid of the viruses, which worked perfectly for me! Also it's cheaper than there £18 support call!!!

There is a supposed "issue" of downgrading your PCs performance, but i've not noticed this. If there is, then I think your really looking for it rather than it being noticable.

I've yet to find anything that I don't like about NIS, i'm really happy that i've brought it and at a price of 40 quid, well worth your money!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Safe on the Internet, 2 Oct 2002

You dont have to be paranoid to go onto the Internet and feel a little apprehensive about operating your Bank Account on-line. I have just installed Norton Inernet Security 2003 and feel a glow of confidence.

Norton have made an excellent job of the Instal procedure and lead the user through it very gently. At all points and after the Installation is complete the user is confident that they are in charge and informed about all aspects of the operation.

Two things to watch - keep a note of your Internet Connection settings and dont set the " protection level " too high. Otherwise this is an excellent investment
