A high tech security for your computer.

Share and Enjoy:

Now, this isnt a complete review but I have run this on someones computer.

Pros:

A very good Virus scanner, A very good firewall and internet security

Cons:

Very memory hogging, Hard to use for a beginner 

Norton 2008 is very good to keep a computer secure it has many features such as a network map to see whos logged into your wireless network or wired network. I ran this on my fairly new computer and it had picked up alot of malware and tracking cookies, I was very surprised at how much it had picked up, But in the background there was alot of lag and it was not enjoyable.

Bottom line: This is a very high tech computer security system and it comes with cost, it will definately slow down your computer but it will keep your computer clean and untouchable.

  1. Agreed with your pros and cons. But we still need protection from viruses.Thanks for the sharing.

  2. I agree! Great protection, but boy does it slow down your computer A LOT. I think I'm going to let mine expire and won't be getting it again. I can't stand a slow comuter! Thanks for sharing your experience.

  4. I have this and it is very true about slowing the computer down. Frustrating to say the least. Ugh...

  5. Agree with you that symantec really slows our system down , very frustrating when we want to load the page fast. but still protection is better than none at all.

  7. I have to agree Nortons is ok. AVG is free and a very good one.

  8. I had a lot of trouble with Norton. It would shut me out of my computer for an hour at a time several times a day.

  9. Yes, Norton 2009 is very much faster than previous versions, this newer version doesn't slow down systems and has more reliability. Also it takes less the 1 min to install and uses 7mb of memory....! great !
