Norton Internet Security 2004 review

Saturday 3 July 2004, 8:44 AM

Good -- pity about AntiSpam


This program does what it is supposed to do. It protects my PC against attack. It appears to identify and block threats readily. Updating is painless. My only quarrel is with the anti-spam tool. Spam arrives in my inbox flagged "Norton AntiSpam". This means I still have to delete unwanted e-mail before I can deal with legitimate messages. The McAfee Spam Killer holds all email away from your inbox, locates spam in a separate section so you can quickly review messages before running "send receive" in Outlook. Norton's AntiSpam would be improved if spam was moved to a separate folder. There is a "Norton AntiSpam Folder" in Outlook, but spam still goes to the Inbox. Support needs improvement. I resent being asked to pay for telephone support. On-line responses are good, but slow in coming.
