My husband and I are both running Norton Internet Security 2003 on XP systems and neither of us has had any problem with it. When you first install this software, it guides you through the process to set it up the way you want it. You can easily reconfigure its many different features later if you change your mind. NIS warns you when something is accessing the internet, an excellent feature especially if you are always connected with a broadband service. It also alerts you if there is a potential attack on your computer and automatically blocks the attack. If there is an attack on your computer, it gives you details about the type of attack and the ISP# where the attack originated so that you can follow up if necessary.nOther features I like include ad blocking (you can block pop ups as well as many banner ads) and parental controls. Also, you can tell Norton about important information you may keep on your computer, such as credit card numbers and account information, that you want Norton to protect and not allow to be sent out. This comes with the antivirus software, also, so your computer is well protected.nAlso, you can set Norton to auto update your antivirus and internet security features so that you are always best protected or you can choose to do it manually. The firewall is also easy to configure to your own liking. This software is pretty flexible and does a good job protecting my computers without having any difficulties with the XP operating system.
