Norton Internet Security 2000

I am not a computer geek and this review is intended for people like me. I have used BitDefender Total Security, but ultimately left with infected PC, slow PC. Then I purchased Norton Internet Security 2010. Norton Total Security is damn costly and decided to give it a go.

My PC is not slow, their safe web shows me which website I should not visit, identity safe helps to to log on to banks/personal finance sites/trading accounts very quickly and securely. Sometimes, I get confused and  chat with customer care people to use the product. They help a lot and also can remote login to my system to resolve the issue!

As I said, computer geeks may find this remote login stuff non-sense but really helps me a lot. Thanks Norton.

I have upgraded 2010 version to 2011 from net free of cost! Not possible with BitDefender.

Yes, another important point. Do not purchase online, go to shop and bargain. You'll save a lot if you are in India.
