Norton Internet Security 2007

Is Norton Internet Security 2007 needed with Vista? It appears Vista has a
number of security functions included.

I wouldn't use it.

I had it and then got a refund from Symantec. There are easier ways to
protect yourself. And cheaper. I've been a Norton's Systemworks user for a
long time, but I'm disappointed in their latest products.

Only if you like to have it in Vista. Vista has new security features but
you still need to add antivirus software and other security tools that you
think you need.

I have the NIS 2007 and love it. Very fast, very powerful, caught several
phishing sites and, best of all, Norton is super experienced in the field.

I would recommend adding Norton Internet Security 2007 to Vista.

Antivirus is still needed. If you find NIS 2007 works for you then use it,
and ignore some of the other "advice" from people who are saying ditch it.
If it does not work, then they are other great alternatives out there such
as NOD32/AVG etc.

I tried Notron 07 and it seemed to slow my PC down. I am now trying Nod32
for 30 days free. To tell you the truth, I can't tell that it's even
running. It seems to have no impact on my system and I have every option
enabled. I hope that helps...I am running Vista Ultimate x64, AMD 3000+ and
4 gig RAM. I am going to wait for either Outpost or ZoneAlarm Pro Firewalls
or Comodo. None of which are Vista x64 yet.

NIS 2007 works perfectly for me. Does not slow down my system, and has
caught a few things that Onecare didn't.

I have removed my trial onecare and defender and work with Norton Internet
Security 2007 only.

Trying, but it seems on my VISTA pc, if I have NIS 2007 firewall on, even
though I've added a firewall rule for a range of local network addresses to
be able to connect to this PC and use the shared printer, I can't even ping
this IP address. I'm going to try adding to trusted sites, but it seems at
present, I can't ping the VISTA pc, from either of 2 other local network
boxes, if the NIS firewall is on. The rule used to work fine when all where
XP. Upgraded to latest NIS 2007 as advised by symantec, no change. Still
can't ping this box with the NIS firweall on. Anyone else sharing files or
printers and NIS firewall rules working ok on local network ?

Vista needs anti-vrus protection. Also, some critics say that Vista's
firewall isn't good enough. I tried Norton 2 years ago and got rid of it.
I've been using Trend Micro on my XP machines since then. They have good
support. Last month, they changed their program a bit which gave me some
troubles downloading their updates. The fix? I removed the old TM version and
downloaded the latest version. Now all is fine. I got a Vista machine this
week and I'm going Trend Micro.
