Two years or a year back when you tell your friend that your PC files are behaving abnormally, he will suggest you to install a Antivirus software and at that time this may be th best solution to solve the problem.
But now days it is just not a virus causing damage to your PC, there are variety of viruses,Torjans, Spywares and malwares are spreading through Social community sites like Facebook and infecting your PC, which may steal your data or cause damage to important files.
To protect your PC from these thereat’s you need a prefect security suite which should provide all round protection and Norton Internet Security 2011 is our first recommendation, which is designed to protect against all online & offline threats.
Norton Internet Security 2011 is the newest version of a complete security suite from Symantec and for past 3 weeks I’m using (testing) it on my old HP desktop and I’m sharing my experience in this post.
Installation & Interface:
NIS 2011 installation is very impressive, before installation generally other security suites will just suggest you to remove already installed security apps on your PC, NIS 2011 not only detects the security app but also opens the program’s uninstaller and makes the software un-installation process very easy.
So after a clean removal of conflicting security tools on your PC, Norton 2011 Internet security suite will be installed with in a minute, then you have to register your software and with few updates NIS 2011 is ready to protect your PC without requirement of rebooting your system.
Coming to interface, Norton 2011 has a better user interface when compared to the previous version and I think 2011′s user interface feels intuitive and easy to use.The main interface provides you a general overview of the 3 main areas: Computer, Network and Web.
5 Outstanding Features in NIS 2011:
1.Reputation Scan:
The new Reputation Scan enhances Norton Antivirus Engine which highlight’s potentially risky files.The reputation scan checks your system files against Norton’s Insight database, then displays information about them: how “trusted” a file is. It will be helpful, if you feel a system file or folder is infected , then you can scan that file and know whether it is dangerous or not.

5.speed and Performance :
Users who generally complain about consumption of system resources by Norton products must take a look at Norton Internet Security 2011.
I’m not benchmark expert, only a normal PC user , but NIS 2011 shows the Hardwork of symantec to optimise their security products, although Norton Internet Security 2011 is not light weight in size, but it is certainly light on system resources, you can check yourself with Performance alert feature.

Coming to the speed NIS 2011 runs quietly in the background, in my test during scanning only 10-12% of CPU being used and it took around 25 MB of memory when system is in idle stage.
