Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Norton Internet Security Personal Edition contains three of Norton's renowned security software tools: Firewall, Antivirus and Privacy Control. Norton Personal Firewall 2001: This is a hybrid package, combining firewall functionality with privacy controls, running under Windows 95, 98, 2000 and ME, as well as NT Workstation 4.0. At its heart, NPF is a ruled-based interactive "learning" firewall, supporting both inbound and outbound filtering. The firewall itself will block ActiveX controls and Java applets, as well as more basic TCP/IP attacks and has special built-in rules designed to block hack attacks from notorious programs such as the BackOrifice Trojan, or other intrusive spyware. The big problem with firewalls is their unbelievable complexity--configuring one makes rocket science look easy. However, Symantec has gone a long way towards hiding all the complexities of a firewall behind a simple front end: users can simply choose between low, medium or high levels of protection. But if you do want to tweak, you can still drill down to fine-tune NPF's security configuration. If you spend a lot of time online, sooner or later you'll need firewall protection and Norton Personal Firewall is arguably the best on the market.
Norton AntiVirus 2001: Competition among antivirus software vendors is particularly fierce but many publications rate Norton Antivirus as one of the best. The best is even better with Norton Antivirus 2001, which incorporates a number of significant new features and improvements, both in the accuracy of its detection and in its usability. The new "SmartScan" virus scanning engine, for example, is faster than its predecessor, though it can still take its time: tested on a P200 notebook it took 23 minutes to scan some 21,000 files. This sort of job can be scheduled to take place during the night, and time isn't a problem. By default, Norton AntiVirus is configured aggressively, with nearly all the scanning options enabled. For example, it has heuristics turned on by default and its manual scanner checks every file, not just files with specific extensions. Though these settings may increase the performance hit, they also provide more reliable protection. You can easily configure the program to scan only specific types of files, but most users are better served by trading off some performance for such thorough protection. The key to successful virus detection is keeping your virus definition files up to date and the old LiveUpdate feature has been revamped. Not only are update files much smaller in size but LiveUpdate will automatically update all the Norton products installed on your PC in one go. If you have a permanent Internet connection, you can configure LU to update automatically, in the background. It can also be set to update whenever you're online. There's now a worldwide network of LU servers, so updating should also be faster and smoother. And if the worst happens and you can't boot your PC because of a virus infection, you can actually boot from the NAV CD-ROM and clean it up from there, a neat trick. Despite Norton AntiVirus 2001's lengthy scan time and mild system performance hit, it provides just about the easiest and most thorough virus protection on the market. Norton Antivirus 2001 runs on Windows 95, 98, ME and Windows 2000. --Roger Gann

Norton Internet Security 2001,
By A Customer
This review is from: Norton Internet Security Standard Edition 2001 3.0 (CD-ROM)
After two weeks of usage, the product seems to have bedded in very well, and got used to my regular Internet site visits (this is relevant as it asks whether to allow other apps to access the internet, passwords / keywords to be released etc. etc).It seems to have captured one unauthorised access attempt, and several possible Trojans from entering my system. The Virus protection inspires confidence, and seems to update itself without me having to make a calender note to remind me to do it. However "BigFix" did at one point trell me that there was an update for Virus protection, before the Norton product itself had realised - I think this was just a matter of timing. To sum up, the product was easy to install, easy to use, and has given me a lot more confidence about leaving the Internet connection "up" for hours whilst downloading large files unwatched. If you don't have a Virus guard, and use the internet a lot (especially with an always on connection) then I would thoroughly recommend this product. NB - Amazon is also the cheapest supplier I could find!.

A Must have for all PC owners!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Norton Internet Security Standard Edition 2001 3.0 (CD-ROM)
Norton Internet Security is the best piece of software on my PC bar none! Within two days of intalling it. Nortons had prevented 11 Hack attacks! Once detected, the attempted hack is completely blocked for 30 minutes by the software & you can then permantely block the IP address(which is displayed by Nortons) manually on an easy input screen of restricted sites so you are not bothered again! You can even block whole ranges of IP addresses as well! Included in the package is Nortons Anti Virus software for that added piece of mind. All in all well worth the money. After all, How much do you value your Privacy!-Get it now!

Norton Internet Security Problems: Windows 2000,
By A Customer
This review is from: Norton Internet Security Standard Edition 2001 3.0 (CD-ROM)
DO NOT EVEN THINK TO BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU USE WINDOWS 2000 PROFESSIONAL. Firstly it does not work properly, and then secondly you cannot uninstall it! I wrote to Symantec (as did several others) and they don't seem to have an answer for the problem.I now have virus-like behaviour on my computer caused by Norton Internet Security, which I was trying to protect myself against in the first place!!!!!
