Unlike McAfee, which makes its SiteAdvisor antiphishing tool available as a stand-alone toolbar for both Firefox and IE, Symantec's antiphishing tool is available only within the suite. Support for Firefox was promised but was still missing in the final release product we saw. You may continue on to the suspected site if you wish, and you can also report additional sites. Using an add-on toolbar to Internet Explorer, Norton Internet Security alerted us to suspected phishing sites, or those known to Symantec to be otherwise suspicious or fraudulent. New in the Norton Internet Security suite is Symantec's own antiphishing protection tool.

Following a growing trend by security vendors who realize the "one size fits all" model no longer works for Internet security, these are now offered a la carte, available for download from Symantec as needed.

A quick check of the UI reveals that several features-Norton AntiSpam, Norton Parental Control, Confidential Information Blocking, and Ad Blocking-are missing from the installed product. Norton Internet Security 2007 adds some new protection, but the bulk of the changes provide deeper protection with its existing technology and most of those enhancements come from just one product: Norton AntiVirus 2007. While this wasn't nearly the mess left behind by Trend Micro, it was not as clean a removal process as ZoneAlarm's.

After we rebooted, we found a handful of registry entries remaining but no files or folders.

Should you decide to uninstall Norton Internet Security 2007, you'll note that there is no uninstall icon listed in All Programs instead, you'll have to use Microsoft's "Add and remove programs" from the Windows control panel. For people who want to tweak, that's fine but most home users will simply want whatever's wrong fixed and may find the extra step annoying. Norton provides a Fix Now button, but unlike McAfee's own Fix button, Symantec takes you to another screen where you must then choose what to fix and so on. When you first launch Norton Internet Security 2007, a new sidebar window displays your system's current security status using the now-common green-yellow-red security rainbow. Unlike last year's version, the Norton Protection Center is more of an information gateway, linking to helpful how-to articles first before mentioning additional products or services available from Symantec. For example, instead of having different desktop windows open for the Norton Protection Center and Norton Internet Security, these are now combined into one window with tabs. The Norton Internet Security 2007 interface is simpler and much cleaner than last year's. Unlike McAfee, the fully installed Norton runs only two active scanning processes. Like McAfee, Norton runs some nonessential services in the background, such as Norton LiveUpdate, which can reduce system performance on older machines. Once installed, Norton Internet Security 2007 occupies 350MB of hard drive space-more than twice the file space required by either ZoneAlarm or McAfee, but given all of the included features, it's not as bad as it could have been.

Therefore, we recommend, a much lighter, more user-friendly, best-of-breed Internet security package over Norton Internet Security 2007.

Unfortunately, Norton Internet Security 2007 doesn't play well with other security applications you might already have installed, including third-party antispyware apps. There's a definite advantage to the end user when Symantec filters down some of its enterprise technology to the desktop, yes, but Norton Internet Security 2007 fails to strike the right balance between providing these tools and maintaining ease of use.

And despite several code tweaks (something like 80 percent of the code was rewritten), Norton Internet Security 2007 still feels heavy and clumsy. But average users who never stray far from mainstream Web sites will find most of the new features within Norton Internet Security 2007 unnecessary-it's like purchasing a Hummer to drive it only to church on Sundays. Small-business owners and advanced users who scour the edges of the Internet will appreciate the addition of advanced malicious-behavior monitoring and new rootkit-detection features found nowhere else. The Norton Internet Security 2007 interface is new, the code is leaner, and the retail price much lower, and the program provided many surprises under the hood.
