• The best two way firewall protection there is;
• Superior protection against internet phishing and id theft scams;
• Home and wireless network protection;
• Spam filters, parental controls and privacy control add to the mix.

Firewall
This feature allows access to known good programs; blocks known bad ones. Unknowns are examined and if they misbehave, the software blocks them. The lack of popups means that you are not hassled; the software just works.

Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware
Norton Internet Security features integrated antivirus and antispyware protection. Files are scanned on demand or on access and even on a schedule if that is what you prefer. Entrenched files can be eliminated during Windows startup. Removable media are scanned on insertion and the A: drive at shutdown to foil boot-sector viruses. This feature is by default too. In addition, it strips viruses from e-mails and performs outbound checking for worm activity. If you use Instant Messenger, you can also have it check files as they arrive.

Protection against Phishing and Online ID Theft
Each site you visit is evaluated to check if it is known as a fraudulent site; if it is not, the underlying code is nonetheless examined for dodgy features. Microsoft IE7 relies on a list of known bad sites, Norton Internet Security does this AND much more.

And the Rest . . .
If you want extra features like spam filtering or parental controls you can download them from the Add-on Pack.

Norton's anti-spam module filters incoming email and integrates with Outlook and Outlook Express. The filter identifies junk mail by content. The auto-block bars messages that contain scripts, invisible text and HTML forms. Anti-spam adjusts its filtering based on the content of messages you send. All your address book correspondents are white listed as is anyone you email.

Privacy Control lets you record private data. In addition, it prevents data from being spread by web forms, email, or Instant Messenger.
