Norton Internet Security 2008 Organizationally, the main screen is little different from that of NIS 2007, though it has traded its cheerful blue background for a tougher-looking patterned black. You still get an overview of all the security modules and a great big icon that reflects overall status. If it's anything but the green check mark that means fully protected, just click Fix Now to set everything right. Symantec continues to polish and enhance its flagship Norton Internet Security suite.

The 2008 edition adds full-scale password and identity management, and its new BrowserDefender technology offers even stronger defense against Web-based attacks. Borrowing a page from Norton 360's playbook, NIS 2008 now offers a built-in, multilayered help system. For the multicomputer home, it now includes a network map and optional remote monitoring of other NIS 2008 installations. Antispam and parental controls remain second-class citizens, present only if you install the optional Add-On.
