You can even set automatic scans to find and remove hidden threats buried deep in your system.

Advanced phishing protection identifies and blocks fraudulent Web sites so you don't accidentally provide any personal information when shopping or banking online.

Slowed 3 PCs to an utter crawl!
I used to install Norton Antivirus and later changed to Norton Internet Security.Up to version 2006 had no problems. When I installed the 2007 version (on 3 PCs running Windows XP) I have had nothing but problems - it slows the PCs to a crawl, using the internet is impossible because almost everything times out. The PCs have various amounts of RAM (256MB, 512MB, 1GB) but the efect is the same on each.
I tried upgrading to Norton 360 on one of the PCs but it suffered from exactly the same issues (and incidentally it kept losing its virus definitions for no apparent reason, so that PC was unprotected most of the time). Norton email helpline were polite and tried to help but they just kept sending me instructions to re-install, which did not help.

I have also got a copy of Internet Security which came as a 60 day trial on a PC running Windows Vista - and that one works fine. So it seems as though Symantec may be focusing their efforts on Vista now, and not giving much attention to XP.

Just looking at the reviews on Amazon as well as on Google, you can see some people have no problems - but many people have lots of problems - so going for the 2007 versions of Norton Internet Security and Norton 360 seems to be a bit of a lottery - and an expensive gamble. Now I've got to buy something else - Around £100 wasted on Norton. What a shame, their products used to be so good!

Very impressive!
Despite being a little disappointed with the 2006 version of norton internet security, I still purchased the new 2007 version due to the great reviews. This time I bought a 3 user so I could also install it on my sons laptop. As the product suggests, I dont have to do a thing... it works by itself in the background. Its faster, more efficient and even looks great. Thank you Norton. From, a very happy customer.

Vista and Norton Internet Security - "Gathering Information"
I bought Norton Internet Security 2007 for Vista and it loaded very easily and everything went really well for about 6 weeks. I then got an "subscription elapsed" message which went after I re-inserted the product key. I then kept getting these on a weekly basis until the last one has rendered my system unable to operate and the "Gathering Information" frozen screen. I have de-installed and re-installed the product at least a dozen times over the past fortnight. I have "enjoyed" 11 web chats with technical support in India and whilst they all try their very best, the last 4 page e-mail I received had instructions for XP and not Vista. NIS 2007 for Vista has still too many glitches for anyone to squander £50 on it.
