Norton Antivirus and Norton Internet Security
Symantec is our top choice for home virus protection software. Symantec's Norton Antivirus line has many different products to choose from. They have the AntiVirus line that will protect your system from viruses, adware, spyware, worms, and Trojan Horses. They have a product that is a step up called Norton Internet Security that includes a firewall. Windows XP includes a built in Firewall, but it is not very customizeable. For most people the built in firewall in Windows XP will be enough. If you are a little bit of an advanced user, or are willing to learn how to use this great piece of software, Norton Internet Security provides a great deal of protection. You definately have to learn a little bit about the software before you use it, just because it is definately possible to block all internet access from your system, and you will need to know how to go into the software to turn it back on. It is not difficult at all, but if you are a person who is a little too nervous about what the last couple of sentences said, then it is a good idea to just buy the Norton Antivirus software, and not the internet security. If you are willing to learn the software, even a little bit, then Norton Internet Security is the best choice for you. It will keep your system safe, and secure. It also include the antivirus software.
