Review by Richard L.

I’ve been using Norton Internet Security since the Netbook edition, I believe, starting 2008. I have been very happy with its interface, user controls and scanning abilities. Its been effective to detect a couple of Trojans and even the many (low risk) tracking cookies. Its scheduled scans are thorough and unobtrusive; It will automatically pause while I am using my computer.

Basically, for about 20 bucks a year, I am happy with Norton Internet Security although there are many very good free antivirus programs. Microsoft Security Essentials is one of the best as well as AVG. I just like the Norton interface and user controls which I have already configured and continue to use.

Overall, not perfect (none are), Norton Internet Security is among the best antivirus programs, easy to use with adequate out-of-the-box security settings.
