Symantec updates consumer security software
By Joris Evers
September 26, 2005

Symantec in the next two weeks will start selling the 2006 editions of its consumer security software products, the company said Monday. The products, Norton Internet Security 2006, Norton AntiVirus 2006 and Norton Personal Firewall 2006, offer improved protection while requiring less user intervention, Symantec said in a statement.

Norton AntiVirus 2006 costs $39.99. Norton Internet Security 2006 costs $69.99, and Norton Personal Firewall 2006 is priced at $49.99. All prices include a one-year subscription to Symantec's protection updates. Oncluded in all the updated products is the Norton Protection Center, a new way to help users understand PC security.

Also new, Symantec now will give consumers product and feature updates throughout the year, the company said. Norton Internet Security 2006 includes Security Inspector, which helps users secure their Web browser, identify weak Windows passwords, and pinpoint risks within hidden shared folders or unneeded services, Symantec said.

I hate Resource hogs, with the expansion of ram availability there's always a program that pushes you to NEED more even though you JUST install that new stick!

norton is just bloat, though some using the corporate version
are saying they have better luck regarding the total bloat
and invasivness known as Symantec. love nod32 and the x64 version,
giving kav a go in 32 bit windows atm.

Thats the main reason i broke away from the their residential products and went with their Corporate Products, The CORP Versions aren't resource hogs, the code is much better written and Optimised.

However Internet Secrity / Firewall arent that good, I dont like " Software for Noobs " lol.
