756745 2009-03-15 09:19:00 What a joke :lol: About the only thing its faster at is stuffing thing up quicker.

Just looked at the install time :lol: They say its 17% faster than Nod32 - Nod installs in a fraction of the time than Norton does, in fact Nod is installed and rebooted and Norton is still installing.

756746 2009-03-15 09:54:00 Actually the March 09 Netguide chose Symantec Internet Security as the best in test :confused:

The other suites were AVG IS 8, Bitdefender IS 2009, Zonealarm ISS 09,Mcafee IS 09, F-Secure IS 09, Kaspersky IS 09, Trend-micro IS 09, and CA ISS Plus 09.

It does show ESS 4 and Bullguard ISS 8.5, but doesnt give the pros, cons and verdict

756748 2009-03-15 10:09:00 Norton's is always good at passing benchmarks.

If you want to pass benchmarks exclusively it is ideal, but a bit pricey. It is regarded as a very safe program by the Land Transport Division under their "Speed Kills" policy.
