This is a bundle of 5 license for Norton Internet Security, which you can choose to use on either computers or mobile devices. It gives you the ability to add seats, at about 40-$50 each. As your count increases the TINY volume discount kicks in, but over 25 seats and you have to call.

The product itself is nice, with a lot of the management features moved to the Norton site, so that the admin can log into their account, check devices installed, send invites, renew and manage product license.

The overhead is very low on machines- the low system resource utilization really the best I’ve seen yet, though this is the first 2014 product I’ve reviewed. Trend’s Titanium and Vipre have been my picks in the past for older, or slower machines.

Performance alerts are new to me- for instance, mine keeps alerting me to high Chrome resource usage. It’s accurate, in my case expected. Scanning does not bog the system down much at all. It’s fast AV.

I got the impression though, that it would have a totally central control panel, but it seems that it still leaves a lot to system users. For instance, they have the choice of installing the toolbar or not. A concerned system admin still should probably manually double check systems directly.

I had a problem with one device. It had already had Norton installed, and the anti-theft protection has kept showing as expired. I didn’t bother with it - Norton support has always been great when I’ve used it in the past,, but that device already had another product on it anyway so I didn’t contact them this time.
