This affordable new release of the top-notch Internet connection protection software is really great and useful considering it really shows improvements over the previous versions. The Alert Tracker is a great addition to the software as well as the script blocking feature. Thanks to the Norton Personal FireWall technology your PC will be definitely undetectable to hackers like it doesn’t even exist. Some will say Norton Internet Security is resource heavy, which is not false, but it remains the most efficient, easy to use, polyvalent firewall on earth. The support of every Microsoft operating systems from Windows 98 to Windows Me (as well as Windows NT and 2000) is a good thing. In conclusion, Norton Internet Security 2001 Family Edition v3.0 remains the best firewall and children protection software out on the market.

Three different versions of the software are available:

  • Norton Personal FireWall 2001,

  • Norton Internet Security 2001 that comes with Norton FireWall, Norton Privacy Control, Norton AntiVirus 2001,
