Good
THE GOOD
Norton Internet Security 2008 offers solid protection for your desktop.
THE BAD
The Norton Internet Security 2008 interface is ghastly, the suite itself can slow your computer to a crawl, its feature set doesn't integrate well, and Symantec is once again offering fee-based services under the guise of technical support.
THE BOTTOM LINE
While Symantec's protection is solid, the overall user experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be much, much better. Not all the features work together, and the program could use fewer system resources. We can also do without the addition of paid services within the technical support section.
