wow,good news....

 

Where's my credit card...

 

I wonder if this will become the standard installed security app (trial) by the big oem's replacing norton internet security?

 

if i know correctly than even nis is priced 70$ like this one......then why on earth a person will go and buy nis??

 

why would anyone buy eiether
if is preloaded thats one thing but to buy it is knida stupid
lodore

 

hehe, I'm a newb. I bought NIS 2007, which was real cheap at a local store called Fry's Electronics. I believe after rebates it was around $20 USD. HAWT!

 

id pay for norton, for a good price

but ever the retail what norton always ask for, the good thing is... because its such a big company, there are many for sale, each cheaper than the next if you look around.

 

My question is, does a person really need all that stuff in one package? A good AV, AS, and firewall in one package seems more than enough. Do you really need transaction security, pc tuneup, online storage, etc, etc, etc in a security suite? I guess they're trying to keep up with the Jones', MS One Care, and McAfee. Then again, the average Joe/Jane probably thinks this is a great deal. Everything right there at his/her finger tips. I think I'll pass.

 

Fluff=$$$$$

 

no you dont need it, but.......if its there, for the same price as the suite, you would rather have it right?

 

Yeah maybe, all things being equal. Still more than I need or want. But since anything that has the name NAV or NIS doesn't seem to like my PC lately, I won't be using it anyway.

 

coming from a 'stupid' person, nis2007 is pretty nice, and was bought for 29 on sale. I'm pleased.

 

why 360? what does 360 stand for ?

 

360 degrees is a full circle and they are using it to represent a full circle of protection. They included everything plus the kitchen sink.

 

i have just finished installing the trial and my word its really running pretty smooth......
no feared "system lags" associated rather stupidly with every norton release....

 

Not really, and I doubt all those different things will make your pc faster.
In fact I think it's the other way around, making your pc even slower.

 

I hope you don't change your mind later...

 

Do you see the option to enable right click scanning?Because I didn't find it in beta.

 

@macstorm/brian n,
i think its one of the biggestr rumour on the net..........norton doesn't slow down ur pc.....unless u have 256mb ram or less.....

@rayoflight,
no it still does not have one.....

 

are you sure it doesnt slow you down.?
number of processes and memory usage?
cpu usage?
slow bootup time?
slow application loading and folder opening?
all you really need is a firewall,antivirus and on demand antispyware. you dont need half the crap in that suite

silly comment: i like the "keeps performance at a peak" features, does that mean it will uninstall itself when clicking that option?

seriously, norton is/av came a long way from 2006 and 2005 which were awfull but
a)why would you need all that stuff in the package->bloatware
b)they still have to improve the detection rates, optimize stuff, there are smaller and better alternatives.

 

How bloated will this Norton program be?

 

i tried it for an hour........try it urself....and see......but i think ur too scared to install it......

 

Im sure a lot of the etc. kaspersky lovers would definatly change their statments and minds if kaspersky did a suite like that too...
I dont understand how to comment on products when you havent tried them. And also, why post in this tread when the only purpose is to spoil the joy for users who like the product or like to test it? This thread was surely made for people interested in the product, how it performed and so on.
Looking forward for some maturety in here, but ill guess we'll have to live with these "kid minds"...

Back to the produckt. Im gonna try it out one of the next days to se how it performs, especially compared to the McAfee alternatives.
