Norton Internet Security ensures that your computer is kept secure whilst you surf online, where it is vulnerable to viruses, worms, trojans and spyware.

Norton Internet Security, however, also keeps you safe from bots and rootkits, which can bury themselves in your computer system and hide other malicious malware attempting to attack. To make sure that these threats are halted at the point of entry, Norton Internet Security uses a two-way firewall that runs quietly in the background as you surf the web.

Norton Internet Security also provides advanced security to keep your computer safe from the newest threats, for example hijackers taking over your computer and using it to attack others.

Scans are used to keep your computer safe from even the most well-hidden threats, and their scan time is reduced with smart scanning. This means that you are undisturbed in either work or play as the scans are running in the background.

To keep your identity safe whilst shopping and banking online, Norton provides identity protection. First, it checks to make sure that the website you visit is not a fake. It then automatically detects and secures all passwords and personal information you may use on that particular site.

If you connect to wireless hot spots when travelling, Norton Internet Security can keep you to be protected from the dangers that come with such a connection. This prevents hackers from seeing your personal information or taking control of your computer. Similarly, Norton Internet Security can keep you safe on your home network by monitoring and securing it from any other party wanting to exploit any vulnerabilities.

Norton provides e-mail, chat or phone support, and an Autofix which will diagnose and fix common problems for you. Norton Internet Security can run on Windows Vista, and can be bought for either a 1 or 2 year download from £49.99.
