I've still have a month to chose something to replace

Norton Systems Works Professional 2003


I am considering...Norton Internet Security 2010 Upgrade + Norton Utilities

for $59.00 and it can be installed on the three current computers here at home
at no extra charge.



Do you have it ..how does it work for you?



I have XP PRO 32 bit and my wife has a laptop with VISTA. The other computer has XP HOME on it.
 
Microsoft security essentials is actually fantastic. For anti virus you can use either avast or avg. Antivir is ok too. Don't payfor norton it's a resource hog and misses a lot of stuff anyways. Hope this helps.
 
ISP's usually bundles its service with some kind of a utility suite. Mine, comcast, has McAfee, which is actually pretty good.
 
Kaspersky Internet Security. You get what you pay for and this is top shelf for a very good price.

I use MalWareBytes as my primary anti-malware program.

I use Acronis for my backups.

For the rest of my utilities, I just let the standard Microsoft shit do it.
 
I've worked in tech support for over five years and my buddy is a comm/data/server specialist. We both use ESET Security Suite (which includes NOD32 Antivirus). Extremely powerful suite while also being lean and very low on the resource overhead when compared to a lot of the norton products.

Also if you can afford it, I highly suggest moving to Windows 7 - less resource usage, smaller install, and a much better product than vista. With the right processor, it can also support machine virtualization and can create a virtual windows xp environment for running any older programs that don't work in win7.

OK.

I went with Norton Internet Security 2010.

No more Zone Alarm Pro, No more Systems works 2003 Pro.

Now.

Is there a way to Lock out this computer from the Internet?

With Zone Alarm Pro I just clicked the prompt when I put the cursor over it.

With this I'm stumped.:confused:
 
I would also recommend Microsoft Security Essentials. It's quite good, free, and isn't as invasive as Norton.

Although, I hear Norton 2010 is not nearly as bad as it has been in the past. I don't know why the consumer versions suck so bad. The corporate version is much lighter on resource usage than the consumer version.
