Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Enjoy your connection to the world. Norton Internet Security 2006 gives you the confidence to travel the Internet like never before. A comprehensive set of award-winning tools, Norton Internet Security automatically blocks hackers, viruses, and spyware. It filters out dangerous phishing email and annoying spam, while its powerful firewall gives you full control over incoming and outgoing Internet traffic. Privacy controls protect your personal information and parental controls give you the power to block unsavory Web sites and shield your children from harm on the Internet. And should your operating system or browser have a security hole, Norton Internet Security is there to handle resulting attacks. The application learn mode function requires less interaction during installation by finding and automatically configuring the firewall so that customers can continue to use all of their favorite software without being constantly interrupted with security questions. Firewall alerts deliver a more streamlined experience by informing the user of the threat level an application represents when connecting to the Internet.
More powerful than ever, Norton Internet Security 2006 is also faster, smarter, and easier to use. With Norton Protection Center--a one-look control panel for all your security tools--you can review your security situation and lock down your system with an optimal security configuration. You can also run a system-wide security scan at any time with the click of a button. With all these tools working for you, you're free to get connected, stay connected, and use the Internet however you want.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Makes me feel insecure!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Norton Internet Security 2006 (CD-ROM)
I wish I had read all the reviews before buying this product. I am about to uninstall it, since it has slowed down my computer and keeps displaying error messages. Makes me feel insecure! Technical support has been rather useless. I have always used Norton before and been happy with it, but this edition is not to be recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars
An embarrassment for Norton / Symantec !,
By Alexander Aris "Alex" (Oxford, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Norton Internet Security 2006 (CD-ROM)
Norton / Symantec are well known for their years of good service and products, until now that is ! Norton Internet Security 2006 is a real pain to install and is frustratingly slow once working. It took me, an experienced computer user, over two hours to install and remedy the fatal error that decided to appear up to 30 minutes after I had first placed the CD into my sisters PC.
I find it quite amazing, that this product wasn't properly tested before it's release. The main problem arises when it tries to uninstall a previous version of NIS. Rather than make a user ferret around on their Support page trying to download and run a tool to remedy problem that runs through ActiveX, only to fail on a certain amount of machines, forcing the user to go through three steps in order to get things working again ! For a novice, it's a NIGHTMARE ! Only a tolerant, experienced user would be able to get things running and working again. Finally, once the product is running, it does tend to hog the system resources somewhat. It must of been a challenge for the programmers to code a set of utilities that has to constantly change over last few years. I can understand that. I gave this product only two stars, for the popularity of the product, company and it's half price tag. The price is quite deceptive against the possible problems you may encounter installing and using NIS 2006. Choose carefully against other products available, the power of choice is there. But most important, be patient and get an experienced user to help out if problems occur.

Norton Internet security 2006,
By john parker (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Norton Internet Security 2006 (CD-ROM)
This product is truly appalling to install. Don't buy it. I spent no less than five hours speaking no less than five times to the technical help line.Symantec customer service admit they have a serious installation problem, as do the technical people.Apparently the root cause of the problem is that the installation CD does not contain software to properly remove old copies of NAV 2003 or previous attempts to install the 2006 version.
