Norton Internet Security™ 2008 – Review

 

Protect up to 3 PCs per household
from the latest online threats

 

 

 

By now, most PC users realize that the greatest threats to the security of household PCs just happen to involve what most users typically do more than anything else on the computer — and that's connecting to the Internet.

 

Fortunately, as fast as ill-willed hackers attempt to rain down newly devised attacks on PCs worldwide, the folks at Symantec/Norton work diligently to continually improve and extend the power and functionality of the industry's premier protection against online threats — Norton Internet Security™ 2008 for Windows/XP.

 

Key Features

Priced at just $59.99 — and available as a download or package pre-order — Norton Internet Security™ 2008 combines existing, proven features with a host of new functionalities and benefits for protecting up to three PCs:

  • It still detects and eliminates spyware, automatically removes viruses and Internet worms — no more manual “virus-hunting.”
  • It protects you (and your family) against threats from instant messages and email-based viruses — protecting your computer even when you can't be there.
  • It keep hackers at bay — including such serious attempts such as ID theft, phishing and other malicious, personal attacks.

New Features

So, what's new with Internet Security™ 2008? Plenty; just check out these great new features for the upcoming year of PC protection:

  • You'll immediately notice faster starts and scans, thanks to improved performance.
  • You can quickly and easily access expert-level support with just one click.
  • You can easily monitor the security of your entire PC network — including wireless!
  • The new Norton Identity Safe gives you the seriously enhanced ID-theft protection that's so important today.
  • You'll get more done, as Internet Security™ 2008 operates quietly and unobtrusively in the background.

Norton Internet Security™ 2008 includes one full year of automatic definition updates, new product features and access to updated application versions. And the company's On-Going Protection keeps PCs protected by automatically renewing your subscription at the regular price, so you don't need to — yet another task you can kiss goodbye with this great Internet security solution.

 

Norton Add-On Pack, Trust Control and more.

Two additional features add significant value to this already-great software. The Norton Add-On Pack delivers optional solutions for you and your family, such as anti-spam and parental controls. And Norton's Trust Control automatically optimizes your protection settings based on the network (wired/wireless, public/private, etc.).

 

Norton Internet Security™ 2008 also adds a layer of targeted, real-time ID theft protection, preventing digital thieves from eavesdropping into your online transactions or banking/brokerage sessions — from login to logout. Even under the hood, the operating system is searched via patented rootkit detection.
