Duration of ownership: 18 Months

Strengths: Convenience. Internet Security - antivirus, anti-spyware and firewall require little attention.

Weaknesses: Lousy back-up tool - will not over-write previous back-up or back-up only new and changed files. Pathetic ID/password management. No way to manually force it to add passwords. You do it on N360 prompt or forget it.

Overall Evaluation: Stick with Internet Security. Extra frills in 360 are not worth 2 cents!

Duration of ownership: 15 Years

Strengths: is occasionally discounted

Weaknesses: too many to list

Overall Evaluation: I fix PCs for a large retailer. In the past few months I have had to cleanup many computers that were ravaged by visus's, malware. spyware or spam. All of them were fully protected by Norton. Go Figure.

Strengths: Complete security coverage with little effort on user's part

Weaknesses: None at this time, like most security software can slow system down

Overall Evaluation: I have used and pretty much stuck with Norton products for many years now. This keeps me from having to learn how to use a different brand. Even though Norton updates each product every year, you know what to expect. When my Norton Internet Security 2007 recently expired, I chose to try the new 360 product especially now that a newer version was available. Very user friendly interface. It's set it up and almost forget about it - great for a "newbie". Website has great support. Using the Chat has mixed results, sometimes you get someone that can help. Great that Symantec always sends a follow-up email to ask if problem was resolved.

Strengths: all-in-one, antivirus, firewall, backup

Weaknesses: none

Overall Evaluation: Norton/Symantec has a reputation of keeping computers safe, and this version is no different. Easy to install with all-in-one protection. So I don't need to buy other software. My computer is safe against viruses from across the Internet. Recommended for any computer.

Strengths: Online backup storage, comprehensive security suite

Weaknesses: Can be a resource hog

Overall Evaluation: Norton produced a nice product that provides firewall, antivirus, antiphishing, system management, and data backup resources in a single package. There is flexibility to store your backups on different types of media as well as using their 2GB of online storage. It can be a little draining on system resources at times, and no product can be completely 100% effective at eliminating all threats. However, for a simple to install and use system, the default levels of protection will be enough for the casual Internet user.

Strengths: Better than 1.0

Weaknesses: Slows down PC

Overall Evaluation: Norton 360 2.0 is a great all-in-one security solution. With it, I don't have to install software from 5 different manufacturers to ensure that my computer is safe. And since its Norton, I know I can trust it. The software isn't nearly as bloated as the older versions, and still manages to be effective in the virus tests I've put it through.
