Is NIS good enough alone for all-around protection? Or should I download other anti-spyware, anti-malware, and firewall programs?
-
Lots of NBR members like it. Browse the section.
cheers ... -
Yes, it's a security suite that includes antivirus, anti-spyware, anti-malware, and firewall. It's a very good choice for a security suite, especially if you can find it for $0.00 after upgrade rebate.
-
Yep. it can handle everything. You dont need any other software.

I also find the Norton web-browser plugin, Norton Safe Web, to be very useful and works flawlessly with NIS2009.
However, if you need Backup/Restore and PC Cleanup/Tuneup utilities (for Disk Defrag, Registry Cleanup, etc.), you should check out Norton 360 as it offers everything NIS has, plus Backup and PC Tuneup.
But if you aren't willing to shell out the extra bucks, you can easily just download CCleaner for reg cleanup and Vista's local defrag utility for PC Tuneup and anything else for Backup. -

Yeah, but Norton 360 wasnt as light on your system. I tried it.
And I found the Interface horrible and hard to navigate and find what your looking for. NIS 2009's is much better. And Windows has almost all the same things as 360 did in it. -
Thanks to everyone for answering my question. NIS 2009 looks better everytime I hear about it.

nis2009 is great. i was a DIE HARD norton HATER for many years, i would not touch nortons with anyones systems let alone mine.. i now use nis2009 and im testing the 2010 beta version now and let me tell you the next version is even better... and i am one of the single most stubborn people you will ever meet.. trust me i didnt want to change from my old suite i was using but nis2009 was that good

I don't feel that my question needs a new thread, so I'll post here.
What's the difference between the "Premier/premium" and non-premier/premium versions listed on newegg?
