Keeping a Windows machine clean is one of the most difficult tasks these days, especially if the user spends several hours browsing the Internet every day. There are a lot of security tools out there though, so there are some ways to protect the data, but still, how can we choose the best one?

We can’t actually, but we still can pick the one that’s more likely to keep us on the safe side. Such a solution is Norton Internet Security, a tool developed by the folks over at Symantec that promises to give us the protection we’ve always dreamed about.

The whole application has been developed to be extremely user friendly, so you should have no problem using it, regardless if we’re talking about installation or the software per se. We only needed a few minutes to install it, with a few extra minutes to get along with its modern interface. Everything’s organized within Norton Internet Security, so every tool is in the right place.

Thanks to its powerful features, the application can keep you away from most existing threats, including viruses, hacker attacks, spyware, Trojan horses and identity thefts. In case you believe that your computer is already infected, you can easily start a scan to get back on the safe side. Be careful though: the scanning process could take a while, of course depending on your hard disk storage capacity, but even a quick scan needs some time to look for malware in every sector of your drive. Plus, Norton Internet Security isn’t quite friendly with computer resources, so you might need to restart the machine after scanning is complete.

Norton Internet Security is able to protect you on all fronts, including email, instant messaging, web browsing and all the other online activities.

We’ve tested the 60-day trial version, which is limited to just two months so, in case you’re in the market for a powerful security solution and all the other have until now disappointed you, it’s probably a good idea to prepare 70 bucks for what could very well become a loyal friend.
