5 Stars Dumped ZoneAlarm, SpywareDr and Avast! for NIS 2009
I’ll keep my comments brief as most of the other reviewers covered everything I could say.

One, install time exceptionally fast!!!

Two, only one reboot.

Three, simple elegant interface.

Four, waits until computer is idle and them works its magic, but even then resource usage remains low.

Five, the complete recoding of NIS 2009 and dumping their previous NIS suites into the trash has this security suite running faster than any I have ever seen, and I have tried many, many different ones.

Just for having the guts to dump the old resource hog of their previous security suite, I bought NIS 2009. BTW, the old NIS versions WERE resource hogs. I started out using Norton years ago, and still have Norton Partition Magic which I bought 5-6 years ago and I’m pleased to see that they still sell it on their site, but I dumped Norton when it went hog . . . really disgusted. The code in NIS 2009 rocks.

And to make it all work even better the Internet Security Suite reviews I read gave NIS 2009 high marks.

My wife’s laptop upgraded from a previous version of NIS to NIS 2009 and I saw it in action on her computer with is NOT packed with high cpu cycles although it has 2Gb of mem.

Buy this one and you will not be sorry.

BTW, don’t even consider Norton 360. It sucks big time.

4 Stars NIS 2009 install tip
If you are replacing a prior version of NIS Norton Internet Security 2009 1User/3Pc, save yourself some aggravation and run the Symantec uninstall tool from Symantec’s web page before you try to install NIS 2009. It completely removes all Symantec products. You don’t get a clean uninstall if you just do it from the control panel and the new version won’t install correctly.

4 Stars Norton gives me a feeling of security
I had Norton Internet security 2008. One day last month I went to download my daily virus signatures and a dialog box from Norton came up and asked me if I wanted to download Norton Internet Security 2009 FOR FREE. Of course I clicked on “yes”. N.I.S. 2009 is great. I like the new interface better, it only takes about 30 seconds to download new virus signatures and other updates. A quick scan takes mabee a minute. A full scan of my roughly 110 gigabytes takes under half an hour. After I download my daily updates I have the option to see what files and modules were updated. On the main menu there is a counter telling me how many days I have until I need to resubscribe. I haven’t realy explored the rest of the program, but these three things are all I really need to do to keep my system “clean”. I wish other software companys would make software as helpful as N.I.S. 2009, and would be as generous as Symantec.

5 Stars Great service and product
The transaction was faultless. The product exceeded my expectations. I will order again from this source.

4 Stars Norton’s Internet Security
According to Symantec this product is only for Window users.

There is a Macintosh version called Norton’s Internet Security Dual Protection for the Mac.

From searching the Web the product so far is only available from Symantec.

There is an older product but it will not work with later OS 10 Systems including Tiger & Leopard.

5 Stars Trend Micro is a great Poduct,Try it You’ll like it!
Many products are given a bad review because many people either don’t have their PC’S running in good condition.Too many conflicts or are not set up properly! They are going to have more conflicts when they install a new product.Some Pc’s are out dated and cannot operate the newer products on the Market.So Bad Ratings!When you read a review,read the intelligence of the Person into the review.Don’t listen to those who always find that nothing works.If it makes sense listen to the reviews that make sense.If I listen to every review I wouldn’t buy any Products.Many products I have purchased have had bad reviews,but also some good reviews.Good reviews should be taken seriously.Reviews are good if they know what their talking about!You be the Judge of that.Trend Micro has always worked for me.

3 Stars Happy with product, but…
I have been using Trend Micro Internet Security since 2006 and I have been happy with the product as long as I have not needed to contact the company. My first problem was 2 years ago when the Protect Private Information feature stopped accepting new information after 20 entries. After spending a lot of time trying to debug with their support staff and reinstalling the program twice at their direction, the 4th technician told me the feature was functioning normally. It is limited to 20 entries. The latest aggravation is that I bought Internet Security Pro for a new computer, and I was informed by email that my old subscription for the computer no longer being used would auto renew if I didn’t click a link and opt out. I clicked the link and opted out. I received an acknowledgement of the cancellation from Trend Micro. After that, I was informed repeatedly by email that my subscription would auto renew if I didn’t opt out, and I responded to each that I wanted to cancel. Eventually, they renewed my subscription and charged my card against my wishes. The website directs you to a phone number where a recording directs you to the website. They have support chat on the website which took more than 2 hours to get a reply even though it said that I was the only person in the queue. When I did get a reply on chat, I was given a website address where I could file my claim. I copied the address to an email. When I logged off the chat line, my computer locked up and had to be restarted, so I lost the website address. I have not been able to make further contact and have not received any reply to emails sent through their website. It is ironic that I am paying this company to be protected from this kind of abuse.

3 Stars Decent security suite but requires annual license and pro features are not really great
3.5 Stars

The trend Micro Internety Security Pro is a decent security option when compared to Norton or Mcaffe but honestly the pro features are really not worth the additional money. The only pro feature that seems really worthwhile is the ability to remotely lock your files (in case your computer is ever stolen) but otherwise the Network status and Antivirus reports are more gimicky than true pro tools

*** Positive Points Include: ***

- Easy installation

- 3 user license so you can use it on 3 computers in your home

- Good security without using excess resources

*** Negative Points Include: ***

- Must purchase the virus updates after a year (AVG and others allow free antivirus updates)

- Pro features are not really worthwhile

3 Stars Slows down computer considerably, TMIS 09
I have been using trend micro since 2006, and so it only makes sense I bought TMIS 09 in amazon. Then I read some concerns from reviewers, and so while I waited for it to arrive I tried the trial version. Boy, tmis09 slows down my comp considerably for some reason, like it’s some sort of memory hog. I could tell my comp slows down esp when doing internet browsing (3-5sec slower).

I mean, the other security features works good (safe page indicator, antispam and antivirus), but it all comes down to internet browsing speed for me. Amazon is nice enough to refund the unopened tmis09 plus return s&h. I bought norton internet security 2009 from amazon, and this year version seems works perfectly for me.

Try the trial version before you decide to get trend micro internet security 2009 (look in trend micro website).

5 Stars Trend Micro Internet Security Pro
This is my third up-date for Trend Micro Internet Security Software.

It has handled many attempted attacks on my computers, but I have not suffered any damage or loss of data or capability. I heartily recommend it to other computer users.
