    Just curious if anyone else here is running Norton Security Suite 4? It protects about everything you can think of. And it runs very light on my system. It is available through an ISP so not sure if it is commercially available.

    seems to be Version: 4.0.0.127 I believe it is almost like Norton 360 or very close at least.

    I believe it's simply Norton 360 4.0 customized for COMCAST.

    That is what it looks like. But I will have to say it runs light and seems to work well:)

    Have you used the Tune Up function? I read a review of BitDefender's and the reviewer advised caution as Windows settings could be changed.

    man , ur lucky to get it free from ISP
    normally same thing is pricey ...

    also it looks latest ver 4 from pics ...

    just 1 query , what are ur update servers ...

    since i also get free F-secure from ISP but my update servers are for the ISp site ,..so i guess first my ISP downloads updates from f-secure and then we do it from the ISP servers...

    does same happen to u or u directly download from norton ??

    i have confirmed it is in fact ver 4. wow very nice if they are giving it away free. im sure it only lasts whie you subscribe to comcast but still not bad. the only thing lacking is the backup stuff which most dont use anyway at least most people i know.

    WTF? $160.00 value?
    If so, then I guess this can hardly get any better. :thumb:
    OT: As a side-note, my ISP offers PC Tools Internet Security... boomer!... :thumbd:

    Because it's Norton . Just wait for version 5 , you'll also receive it soon after v5 gets officially announced

    wow when i spoke to my norton rep and asked about it they said this would be only missing the backup. if it works thats pretty sweet but i personally dont use the ones built in to the suites.
