Every PC needs protection. It's a hassle, but it's true.
Viruses, malware, rootkits, phishing, spam, hacker
attacks--these are among the threats awaiting the modern computer
user. One wrong click, one wrong file opened, one wrong Web site
visited, and you can end up with one seriously hosed PC--or worse.
(Identity theft, anyone?)
There are plenty of free tools that can help combat these
threats, and if you're a savvy user, you can keep your PC pretty
safe.
However, I think plenty of folks just want a
set-it-and-forget-it solution, something that requires little extra
effort and comes with live, human-powered tech support should the
need arise.

If you've used any
Norton security products in the past, you probably took one look at that headline and said, "
Ugh. No way. Never again."
And I wouldn't blame you. A few years back, the Norton stuff was bloated, buggy, intrusive, annoying, and likely to make your PC run like molasses.
That was then. In recent years,
Symantec has made considerable improvements to its security software. It's faster, quieter, and smarter, to the point where you barely know it's there--unless it detects a problem.
