"NIS 2007 itself, the worst virus my system has experienced..."
Pros: None to report
Cons: Product installation crippled my computer, support was innefffective, de-installation leaves me with unresolved problems

"Better than 2006 in some ways, but missing key features"
Pros: Somewhat less bloated than earlier versions, slightly less onerous install
Cons: Dropped Parental Control in 2007 version
Summary: Norton is a resource pig, but it does do a very credible job of keeping bad stuff out of your computer. NIS 2007 is better and cleaner than 2006 in most respects. But one important feature in prior versions, Parental Control, was dropped without not... read more >>
