Love it or hate it, Norton Internet Security is still the chart buster in the antiviral world. Used by millions almost by default NAV is synonymous with inoculating yourselffrom those oh so nasty worms that crawl our virtual spaces. And for good reasons.Take the 2008 edition for example. It is as impregnable an an armour as you could hope for with a full range of software-based tools primed to ensure a safe browsing experience:an anti-virus c1ient,anti- without anti-virus definitions.

It tracks signs and symptoms that indicate trouble and triggers warnings to help you preempt an attack from Trojan or other malicious software.There are several other features that automatically load up on web forms and such like where you might reveal your identity.These features are designed to keep pirates at bay and your privacy intact. The firewall is so designed that all the ports function in stealth mode, invisible to hackers.

The anti-phishing component of the suite, called ID Safe, deserves a special pat: it makes it easy for you to store your login details for specific web sites.Of course this is password protected, which means only you can access those details on a given computer. A significant addition in NIS 2008 is network monitoring, which, put simply turns you into a network administrator with the power to monitor the security environment of more than one computer on a network. You can run scans and update anti-virus definitions across three machines using this utility.
