Symantec Corporation Compliment - My security blanket - Norton Security Suite

Norton Security Suite - Compliment
Review by Bud_the_Bullet on 2010-12-12
When it comes to internet security, you can never be too safe. My choice of security is directly dependent upon who my internet provider is at the time. For instance, when I was with Qwest, they provided "One-Care" free of charge. And now that I'm with Comcast, they have the Norton Security Suite.

I have been with Comcast for quite some time now, and I must say that the Norton Security Suite is by far the best internet security package I've used. I feel completely safe browsing whatever sites it recommends. It is hands down the easiest to navigate and understand, especially if you're not computer-literate. It puts a green check mark by the sites it finds safe to open, and a red symbol for those that it doesn't. It couldn't be much simpler. The clean-up and care is just as easy to maneuver through too.

Excellent product review!

On my main computer with Windows 7, which I use everday, I dont have any security programs installed as Windows 7 is most secured OS to date.

On my second computer, which is a testing computer, I do have security programs installed as I download softwares from torrents.

Just as a fun fact, I believe it was either in "The Incredible Hulk" or "The Score", where Edward Norton sits down at his computer desk and the screen shot shows "NORTON" security on the monitor. An obvious inside joke towards his last name.

i have found comcast's norton is bloatware. when i tried it, my system ran horribly slow, and had huge issue on my 64 bit system.

I'm offered free, if one wants to call it that, Norton's with my Comcast subscription plus my MSN Premium membership. I still elect for a local computer company to install a yearly business update to my computer. It's an entirely different version. Some might be throwing money out the backdoor but what can I say. It works for me.

The green checks indicating safe sites has been very useful to me. Well written review.

Well written review, Bud. I use both Comcast and Norton Security Suite 4. It works well for me and my system likes it as well.

I have tried almost every security suite on the market and have found Norton to be the best. It was heavily criticized a few years ago as bloatware and it was. Today's paid version has a very light footprint and little if any impact on system performance. I'm using Verizon Fios which I find far superior to Comcast, my previous ISP. My only complaint with Norton is there horrible renewal practice. About a month prior to the expiration they start spamming you for renewal. If you let it expire the software will not work at all. They want to gouge you with a $59.95 fee. I found Norton on E-Bay for $24.95 and entered the new license code. Done.
