This is a full 3 user copy of Norton Internet security 2010 with an additional disk containing Norton Utilities. It costs £10 less than buying Internet Security 3 user licence for PC on its own and as Utilities is on the second disk you do not have to install it if you dont need it. I am very pleased with this version of Norton and have saved £10 over the price of the Internet Security pack purchased on its own.

You often read or hear people moaning about Norton Internet Security. I really don’t know what their problem is. I’ve been using Norton Internet Security for several years now. I buy the new version each year, usually from Amazon, at around half the price Symantec charge just to renew your subscription to the previous version. It has always worked well for me. A feature I particularly like is the “Identity Safe” which can store the log-ins (user name and password) to websites you visit. It means you can have a different, highly secure, password for every site while only having to remember the one for Identity Safe itself.
I bought this “Performance Pack” as I wanted to put Norton Internet Security 2010 on a netbook I had just bought and I’d already used up the 3 licences on the copy I already had. The netbook came with McAfee pre-installed but it just wasn’t what I was used to. McAfee seemed to interrupt what I was doing a fair bit whereas NIS doesn’t. Norton Utilities is new and unfamiliar to me. It seems to work well but just works differently to the TuneUp Utilities I am used to. Probably just a matter of getting used to it.
I’ve given 5 stars because both products in the pack were easily installed and both seem to do what they claim. What more can you ask?

BEST Internet Security Suite on the PLANET.! – at the moment…
Before I moved back to (NORTON Internet Security Suite 2010 with Performance Pack), I used Kaspersky Internet Security Suite 07, 08, 09 & 2010.
I found Kaspersky Internet Security Suite very, very aggressive and using up lots of system resources – however, it never let me down.
I built my own new intel i5 750 Machine with Win 7 x64 and installed NORTON ISPP 2010 whole package as it had lots of 5 stars reviews all over the internet and in Magazines.
Anyways, I must say I’m trilled to bits with the New 2010 GUI interface – 10/10 very attractive layout indeed.!
It has all the features Kaspersky KIS 2010 has +Plus lots more, even the Performance Pack with “Norton System Works” & with “Norton Utilities” it certainly helps keep everything running smooth in superb. -:
Excellent value for money, and its very easy on the CPU & MEMORY. (3 computer licences for the price of 1.) FAB
I can remember the day’s when “Norton System Works” was £49.99 in PC World alone for the CD Package, without any Security Pack, so this is a Bargain. Its already found several attacks, trying to get past the firewall and blocked each one of them, very impressed.
Its really done a number on Kaspersky I.S this year, if it keeps up this level of security I will renew my 2011 subscription. (God willing)…
Thanks for reading. 10/10.

from me 3 stars for this is unheard of, usually I complain about it being too costly and too resource heavy.
This time it’s better although still clogs up the laptop a more than I would like; but credit where it’s due…the virusis detected are more throrough than in the past and you will only need this one program. I still find it simplistic and better for those less confident on PC’s.

Until last year I would not have even considered using Norton Internet Security, my previous experiences of Norton was that it tended to use up all the system resources, a bloated heavy weight piece of programming , that was intrusive with its pop up warnings and that when uninstalled it would leave bits of itself all over the system registry. It even required a special program to remove it from a computer without which any other security suite could not be installed in its place.
Norton has listened to the feedback from its customers and now it has been so improved it is like a phoenix emerging from the ashes. In fact it may now have just taken the crown as the number one security suite.
Norton 2010 now has an extremely light footprint on system resources, in fact one of best of all security suites on the market at this time. It adds very little to the boot time at start up and is certainly less intrusive than its predecessors. I have installed this on the three computers I run at home and on three different operating systems XP SP2, Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 Home Premium. So far installation was faultless.
The interface with the program can be daunting and could cause confusion if you are looking to tweak the settings and this is simply because there are a `lot’ of settings. However for the average user it works out of the box and works well. It is no longer intrusive and does not slow down web browsing.
The new Safe Web is browser based and uses reported intelligence that gives web sites a safety rating. It also checks any downloads you make against data from other Norton users and makes comparisons to see if what you are downloading is out of the ordinary. If it does not like what it sees it will advise accordingly.
The only downsides I can see are these:
1. The cost compared to other programs.
2. If you want to keep your computer up to date with the newest security suite each year, you will have to buy a new product each time. If the program is updated to a new edition such as a 2011 edition a few weeks or a couple of months after you buy it you are still stuck with it for the remainder of your licence or you will be obliged to pay again.
There are security suites that you licence for a year and if a new edition comes out before your license expires it will automatically upgrade you to the brand new edition. These also tend to cost a little less.
The choice they say is yours but you will probably not go wrong with this.
