5.0 out of 5 stars Best Security Available But Install Carefully to save your Remaining Subscription Days
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2011
Platform For Display: PC DiscVerified Purchase
Years ago Norton Security was a bloated, over-priced security suite that deserved the universal scorn heaped upon it. But times have changed, and in recent years Norton has slimmed down, gotten in shape, and won back the respect of security professionals industry-wide. Check out NIS reviews at PC magazine and elsewhere to read up on it yourself.

I upgraded from 2010 to 2011, and from 2011 to 2012. I have yet to regret it as the software does exactly what it should: provide a highly secure firewall, and expert antivirus protection, in a practically transparent manner to the end user. I don't even tweak with the settings anymore - the software recogizes common software programs and selects the appropriate settings. It updates itself automatically. It scans automatically. You can be as involved in this process as much, or as little, as you choose. Which is how it should be. For those of you who still don't secure your computer? Well, the cost of fixing your credit rating, paying for a monitoring service to look out for unauthorized credit checks and card accounts, and your overall loss of sleep if your identity is compromised is far more than the cost of this software. Think of like insurance - we hate to pay the premium, but we are pretty happy when we need the coverage. And, now that a single license covers three computers, this software is even more of a no-brainer.

If you are renewing an existing subscription, like NIS 2011, keep this in mind: when you select "check for new version" or install a new retail NIS 2012 disk, you are NOT adding to your current subscription. You instead are purchasing a new subscription for coverage for another year. I upgraded my NIS 2011 to 2012 thinking my "remaining subscription days" would remain the same. I lost a few days, but no big deal because I was near the end of my subscription anyway. But if you have days remaining, wait to install the 2012 disk software or upgrade until your existing subscription is almost or completely gone. Otherwise, you will have your subscription clock "reset" to 366 days remaining, meaning you won't see your previous "days remaining" added to the new subscription period. It just resets it because it is a new subscription. Only if you renew your existing license through the software itself will you see your remaining days added, but that is a far more expensive route than buying a new license/key through Amazon.

Good luck and stay secure.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far NIS is Fantastic!
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2012
Platform For Display: PC DownloadVerified Purchase
This is my first experience with a security suite. I considered three of them, Bitdefender, Kas, and Norton. After reading many reviews online on all of them, I picked NIS and I have not been let down. It works well with my computers and so far has not allowed any evil little things to penetrate its defenses. I also like there 24/7 support. I bought it as a download from amazon and I also like that fact that I can always re-download my product should I ever need to. These days you do not need just antivirus but a complete security system in order to stay safe online. I also like Norton safe search which allows me to see the sites Norton has already classified as safe, really convenient. So so far, I am very happy with this product and I am not a novice with security software. The download was available at a great price also. I feel comfortable surfing and i know that any security software can be beaten by criminals but with NIS, I feel I stand the best chance of protecting my computers. One last thing, it does not bug you all the time, like some security systems do, so I really feel I got a bargain, because NIS is a true winner!

Norton Internet Security 2012 - 1 User 3PC

Norton Internet Security 2012 (NIS 2012) is a different software from its past. Today it uses less cpu and ram. But as i sad in title, this is not a perfect software. In two months testing period, NIS 2012 closed itself with an error message two times. On the other hand NIS 2012 is good at detection of malicious softwares. Also with integrated firewall, NIS 2012 blocked many network attacks.

-> Pros
- It is cheaper than other security softwares.
- Fast and don't use much system resources.
- Good at detection of malicious softwares.
- Does job silently in background.

-> Cons
- Some program errors sometimes.
- Interface wouldn't open sometimes, again some bugs or errors.
