The Norton Internet Security Suite comprises all the features of Norton Antivirus with more features to protect users from threats on the internet like phishing websites, Key Loggers, etc.

The look of the Norton Internet Security sports a very modern simplistic look. There are three quick access menus for Computer, Internet and Identity which are displayed when you open the program. There are also usage meters displayed on the main screen; One for CPU usage and the other for the usage of Norton Internet Security application.

Norton Internet Security integrates into your browser as a toolbar. Firefox and Internet Explorer have toolbars, but opera isn’t supported. The toolbar gives quick access notifications for anti-phishing and also keeps security information like logins and passwords as profiles. Norton Internet Security allows users to securely store usernames and passwords as well as create identity cards which help users in quick filling of online forms.

The earlier versions of Norton Antivirus and Norton Internet Security used to use up a lot of resources which causing the PC to slow down when idle as well as during a system scan. But the Norton Internet Security 2009 has stepped up and is quite efficient when it come to resources. It used maximum of 20MB of RAM when we first installed it and while running a system scan it used about 10MB of RAM. This is definitely an improvement, as in the past the major problem with Norton was of users complaining of the amount of resources used when the antivirus was running.

Considering the All-In-One package that the Norton Internet Security offers – Antivirus, Antispyware, Phishing Filters for Internet Safety and even good performance, its a bit on the expensive side at $49 for Oner Year Single User and hence we would not recommend it as there are others out there that are cheaper. Even so, if you are a Norton user and trust no other antivirus software then this is a great bundle for you.
