  Less cluttered interface and fairly faster than 2011

  Norton woke-up in 2009/10 making the interface user-friendly and its signature updates running in the background making the software less resource-hogging. It's continuing the same trend this year (NIS2012) with a little less cluttered interface - meaning most features automated for the novice user, but you have to dig in deep to make advanced changes. It works well with Windows7 as well as Win XP if you care (I don't have Vista - so cannot comment about that).1. Installation: As in the recent versions of NIS, installation was a snap. It took under 2 minutes, but needed a restart. If you have existing license for NIS, download the update from support -> check for new version menu item from within NIS. You can update the license number from the disk later when your license is about to expire. In previous version(s), NIS overwrote existing license period if you upgraded from disk. I havent checked it on this version (I still have about 90 days left, too risky!!)... 5/5 Gene Cloner (St Louis) - See all my reviews This review is from: Norton Internet Security 2012 - 1 User 3PC (Software) Norton woke-up in 2009/10 making the interface user-friendly and its signature updates running in the background making the software less resource-hogging.

  NIS 2011 Was Better

  I bought this because the 1 year sub was up on 2011 and I was able to get 2012 for cheaper than sub for another year for the 2011 version.Install was easy but I don't see much of a difference in what 2012 offers than what 2011 had. There are a few things I don't like about 2012:1. It scans my system a lot slower.2. No option to totally turn off autoupdate like you could in 2011. Can turn off auto but pulse updates turn on then and gets greyed out so there is no way to have them both be off at the same time. I like to update it manually liked I did 2011 but can't now.3. No way to turn off quick scans like you could in 2011.4. Seems to load slower at start up when set to "aggresive" but 2011 started right away.5. When you click on settings or any of the options the software takes longer to respond. At first I didn't think I had clicked right and tried again but it took a few seconds to respond.

  Quality Internet Security Suite for 2012

  This version appears to build upon the 2011 version. A simplified user interface masks an upgraded version of the 2011 interface. The user can now select to either have the simpler interface appear when opening up the Norton product, allowing for easy access to launch scans or for checking on/running live updates or otherwise one can set the product to regularly open up to the more advanced interface, displaying a revival of CPU and Norton usage meters, along with a trust level meter displaying the amount of files currently trusted by Norton that are on the computer after a reputation scan has been executed and also in conjunction to what setting one has selected beforehand for computer scanning purposes.

  Rating (68 reviews):

  (4.3/5)

  

  Excellent program but.....

  I have found the newer versions (2011-2012) of Norton Internet Security to be both highly effective at protecting my PC and absent of the cumbersome background programs that effected system performance. I am a fan and will continue to use it. The only change that is bad is that now when you add a new version it does not just add 365 days to whatever days you have remaining on your current protection so you just lose out on those days. That is not the way it has been in the past so wait until your current version is expiring to install the new code and activate it so you don't lose the last 50 days of your current protection like I did. 3/5 R.

  Much more reasonable through Amazon

  I've always trusted and used Norton Internet Security programs on my computers. The last few years I just had Symantic load the new program automatically each year. But, this year when they told me my virus protection would be expiring in 30 days, and then informed me that they just wanted to let me know my credit card would automatically be charged the 59.99 to renew. I thought to myself that was awfully expensive especially being that this year had been hard on my family financially, so I started looking around. Lo and behold I found the same virus protection software through Amazon for less than half the price.

  Still the best

  I have used Norton for years, in its various personas (anti-virus, Internet security, and 360). Generally I buy whatever is available for a good price on Black Friday. This year is was the Internet Security, but only for one computer. So I had to substitute the freebee, McAfee, on my second and third computers. I wish I had not. Should have just paid for the extra support.So for me, at least, Norton has always worked. I have never had a virus get through. The anti spam works, and my computers don't crash. McAfee, on the other hand, has not worked well and will be replaced. I highly recommend any Norton product, keeping in mind that smaller older computers should use the simplest product available (anti-virus), instead of the top product (360), so that the software doesn't make your computer lag much. 5/5 Victoria H.

  Great protection from Kaspersky as usual.

  Installation & First Impression:*****************************Installation of KIS 2012 was quite speedy. At the beginning of the installation process the program looked for any conflicting security programs that were already installed and to my surprise, it actually found remnants of Microsoft Security Essentials that I had previously uninstalled. After this was cleared up, it was a simple case of activating the product online and viola!, I was up and running. Albeit needing a definition update.Once KIS was up and running I downloaded the latest update, which took quite a while, and then gave it a quick scan. As this is the first 2012 malware product I've looked at thus far, it is difficult to be objective as to how Kaspersky's latest will compare with others that are released in the latter part of the year, but my initial impression is quite positive. KIS 2012 is jam-packed full of all the features that you would expect to see in such a program and definitely... 5/5 Method2Madness "Alex" (Hampton Roads, VA) - See all my reviews, September 26, 2011

  Super slow full scan takes the sparkle off an otherwise great product

  I received Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 from the Amazon Vine Reviewer Program. Because I received the 3-license version I installed it on two PC's: desktop running Vista 32-bit and a desktop running Windows 7 64-bit.I had planned on also installing it on an XP desktop as this software gives you one code to license 3 machines for 1 year, however that is being old and fussy upon this writing and may need to die a natural death, thus I may have to install Kaspersky on yet another Win 7 machine instead. I will update this review after the third install.**Note that this software works with 32 and 64-bit Windows OS's Vista, XP and 7, but doesn't support Mac.**The Positives:Installation on both machines was easy, but much quicker on the Windows 7 machine. Probably more about the OS than this software. On both the Vista and Win 7 PC's the system moved quicker than with other antivirus' used before - Trend Micro on one and Kaspersky Pure on the... 3/5 Andrea L.

  This is the current edition

  When you receive this software you will notice on the top right corner of the box it will say March 1, 2011 and then underneath that it will say version 5.0. Perhaps this is referencing the red rectangular box above it that reads in White Letters PC Mag.com Editors Choice. Regardless, this is misleading, since on the front of the box it says Norton 360 v6 and this is the packaging for v6 2012 release. On the side of the box it will say copyright 2012, and the owners manual in .pdf will say copyright 2011. However this is the most current version 6.01 and I verified this with Norton. If you are not accostomed to using bundled software like this, you will be in for a very high tech experience. Not to be discouraged, you learn as you go, with a 500+ Page Manual in .pdf on the dvd and a much shorter quick start guide. I have just received this, and I am learning. I wrote this review to warn you not to be misled by the date on the top right of the box, as I ended up returning the first... 5/5 OZ - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Norton 360 v6.0

  I've been using this product for three years now, buying the newest release annually. It has replaced BitDefender on my PC, which had allowed a virus in and was unable to remove, even with their customer support. The Norton has run quietly and unnoticed in the background; doing what it is supposed to do. I'd buy it again, and Amazon's price is much better than I've found anyplace else. 5/5 D.

  Windows XP Killer !!!!

  I have used Norton for years and years but as soon as I upgraded to 360 Premium Edition my problems began. If you are runnig an older Operating System like Windows XP then downloading this product is the worst thing you can do. I immediately started having issues with error messages regarding missing DLLs from my long time (previously error free) programs like Corel Video Studio and even Microsoft Word. The problems expanded over the next few days and now my PC is unusable - although I can boot it up in Safe Mode so I can offload my important documents and spreadsheets. I had to buy a new HP Desktop (from Amazon - great price) but I am not going Norton 360. On a positive note I have to say that previous editions of Norton have saved me from numerous attacks and I am one of the few PCers among my colleagues who has never been hacked (thanks to Norton) but the combination of Windows XP and Norton 360 Version 6 Premier has been a real disaster for me. Don't be the next victim... 1/5 D. SIMON (New England) - See all my reviews, March 30, 2012

  Norton Internet Security 2012 - 5 Users

  Rating (15 reviews):

  (4.1/5)

  

  Buyer Beware

  I bought Norton Internet Security 2012 5 pc because of long standing disappointment with McAfee, and good performance reviews for Norton. Its performance is superior to any system I have used for years. However, it turns out that the 1 year license starts counting down after the first install on a PC. Subsequent installs on other systems decrease the license period by the time between the first install and subsequent installs. The Amazon site does not state this. With the aid of a magnifying glass, I found that the product box top says somewhat cryptically that the license is for one year starting with the first install. You apparently can't find this out until after purchase, which is a little late. I had not intended to install two systems until July. I will now just give up the McAfee licenses and install on all 5 machines. In my view the Norton license scheme is deceptive and fraudulant. If you are not prepared to install the product on 5 machines at the same time, you... 4/5 feeder - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Better than the last one !

  This verison is a bit better than the last one, With more bells and wistles to help protect your computer. A couple of things to note are: this program WILL delete older programs in your computer and once you install on the first computer your year of service starts, regardless of when you install on other computers.This is not noted on the box. So far I'm satisfied with the protection. As for the shipping , it came before we were supose to get it by about 3 days. 5/5 Chrit55 - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Worst editition yet, plus it corrupts your screen with constant ads for Nortion products - it "tags" every search result

  Forget this one. Norton needs to try again. First it loads slowly, secondly it blocks many programs, thirdly it challenges all search engine results, some of them it will "reject" if it doesn't pass Norton's test (what test?) then it corrupts your search engine results with a Norton tag that clutters the screeen. Someone at Norton must think that their customers want their computers to be an advertisement for Norton. I don't, so I sent it back. 1/5 NewYorker "Boston" (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  online renew price high

  The product seems good and I've been using Norton products for multiple years. Make sure to buy the new product each year for around 40-50 dollars. Make sure to set your account to No Automatic Renewal. The online renewal and automatic renewal sells the same package for around 80 dollars. When confronted with the price difference, customer support says it's important to buy direct online from Symantec to avoid the pirated versions, or versions that only have one good activation key left. I guess Amazon digital download doesn't meet their trustworthiness. 4/5 mark twain - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Everything you need to care for your PC

  There protections of every kind you can think of and some they simply think of for you, with backup and optimize "defrag" and adjustments for every function. I would not want to run my PC without it. The only negative is they could make it cheaper, but when you take into account it installs on 3 PCs it weight out. everything you do is protected and backup can be turned off or set to any destination. It even can connect to the network if you want to get the latest protections before they officially come out for virtually any threat. Hey you spend good money on your PC so why not take care of it right and protect it with Norton 360 (6.0 3 PCs). I could go on annd on but really you need this more than you know, and a trusted name in Norton helps. 5/5 Robert St Arnault - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  NORTON 360 V6

  I have had Norton 360 on all my computers for a few years now and have always felt safe and secure.The other night the computer was acting WEIRD so i ran some scans but Norton picked up nothing.I then ran Malewarebytes Anti malware and it picked a TROJAN>AGENT infection.It said restart to remove but it was still there.I called norton premium support for $89 and they worked on my computer for about 8 hours over the course of a couple of days.They claimed virus was gone but the computer was still acting strange.They also REMOVED my malewarebytes program claiming a conflict between the two programs.I reloaded it and scanned and sure enough the virus was still there but this time it removed it but the damage was already done to the registry and i had to wipe everything clean cause system restore would not work.They speak very bad English and i think i wasted my money on the premium support{they are located in India].I will continue to use the Norton software because i still think it is... 3/5 john m - See all my reviews This review is from: Norton 360 v.6 1User/3PC [Download] (Software Download) I have had Norton 360 on all my computers for a few years now and have always felt safe and secure.The other night the computer was acting WEIRD so i ran some scans but Norton picked up nothing.I then ran Malewarebytes Anti malware and it picked a TROJAN>AGENT infection.It said restart to remove but it was still there.I called norton premium support for $89 and they worked on my computer for about 8 hours over the course of a couple of days.They claimed virus was gone but the computer was still acting strange.They also REMOVED my malewarebytes program claiming a conflict between the two programs.I reloaded it and scanned and sure enough the virus was still there but this time it removed it but the damage was already done to the registry and i had to wipe everything clean cause system restore would not work.They speak very bad English and i think i wasted my money on the premium support{they are located in India].I will continue to use the Norton software because i still think it is...
