Customer Rating: Summary: HUGE improvement over Norton Internet Security 2008 Comment: I wrote in my review of Norton Internet Security 2008 that I used the product - but despised it. The hit to my system's resources was just too great, and I turned much of it off as a result.
The 2009 version is MUCH faster - to the point where I am leaving all options enabled. The hit to the system appears to be minimal. The user interface is simpler and less confusing also. Big improvements all around.
Be aware that the engines underlying Internet Security 2009 and Norton 360 are reported to be different, with 360 using the older version (i.e., performance problems). Customer Rating: Summary: works like it should Comment: this year's version installed easier than 2008 and seems to run more efficient on my computers. I installed it on a vista system with a duo core CPU - went great. Then moved on to an XP system with a Pentium 4 - also installed great. Then moved to another XP system with a duo core CPU - no problems. I was happier with how well it installed and is running for 2009 than the 2008.
