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,
-
Norton Internet Security
2001 Family Edition, that comes with Norton FireWall, Norton Privacy
Control, Norton AntiVirus 2001 and Norton Parental Control.
