Theres good and bad news in Symantec Norton Internet Security 2006. The good news is that the best-selling Norton suite does a fine job thwarting Internet-bred assaults, including viruses, worms, hacker intrusions, and the like. The new Security Inspector tool uncovers unsafe browser settings and Windows passwords, and Norton now prevents hijackers from changing your browsers home page. The bad news is that, like its top competitor, McAfee Internet Security Suite 2006, the $70 Norton takes a toll on PC performance, particularly during system scans. It also offers mediocre technical support. Whats worse, Symantec just raised its annual subscription renewal price by $10. That said, Norton Internet Security 2006 remains a solid $50 upgrade for longtime users, who will benefit from Nortons improved spam and phishing e-mail filters. Everyone else should shop around for a better deal. ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6 offers similar performance with significantly less impact on system resources.
Setup and interface of Norton Internet Security 2006
Norton Internet Security 2006 is easy to install: a few clicks, and the program does the rest. But easy and fast are two different animals. Nortons setup may take hours if you decide to run the optional postinstallation scan. In our tests, basic setup, which includes software installation, rebooting, downloading updated files, and configuring security settings, took about 30 minutes--roughly the same as McAfee Internet Security Suite 2006. But Nortons optional postsetup antivirus scan added another 1 hour, 45 minutes to the process. While this was 30 minutes less than McAfee Internet Security Suite 2006 took, Norton rendered our PC virtually unusable for other tasks while it worked. Technically, we could use our test machine with Norton AntiVirus actively scanning in the background, but whenever Microsoft Word takes more than two minutes to launch, youre better off reading a book.
Norton Internet Security 2006 keeps the intuitive interface design from previous versions. The home screen, known as the Norton Protection Center, provides links to major security components, including virus and worm protection, a firewall, and e-mail and instant-messenger scanning. Many users wont ever tinker with individual component settings and may choose to rely on the Norton Protection Center console instead. Unfortunately, we found some of the consoles protection information inaccurate or misleading.
The Norton Protection Center displays a snapshot of your PCs security status, but some of its information is misleading.
On our test PC, for instance, the Protection Center listed No Coverage under the Data Recovery heading, meaning our PC had no protection against disk crashes, missing files, or installation disasters--this, even though we had a copy of Uniblue WinBackup installed. A link marked Learn how to fully protect this category led to a Symantec Web page touting Norton SystemWorks 2006. Frankly, wed like to see the Protection Center recognize installed non-Symantec applications--and keep advertising clearly marked as such.
This omnipresent Norton Internet Security 2006 icon gives you an at-a-glance color-coded view of your systems overall security.
On the Windows desktop, Norton inserts a color-coded status icon within the Taskbar. A green check mark means youre fully protected; a red X spells trouble. Pop-up messages warn you when Norton detects danger--for example, whenever a new virus hits your system--and offers a suggestion to repair the problem. In general, the frequency and the number of pop-ups were not overwhelming.
