Don't like the toolbar either.
Not that impressed.
Went back to Avira Internet Security.
Works better for me.

Alright, dumb question, but does this mean Symantec is hiding other "processes" in page file memory?? I don't quite understand.

However in the past there has been at least one products that hid the entire process using rootkit type techniques. NIS doesn't

Very smooth on system and very light.
I have updates set for every 2 hrs.
Consistantly scores at the top for detection.
Have had no conflicts with any other software on my system.
There are many threads about Avira here and at Wilders.
Check them out if you want to know more.

Maybe I missed something, but I didn't see any way to configure the firewall. I saw where the firewall is listed on the GUI, but no configuration options. I then went to grc.com, and NIS 2009 failed the Shields Up test. I don't care too much for the new GUI either. |

Doesn't seem fast to me - installing in a VM and it taken over an hour so far ........ keeps telling me it will be done in less than a minute. |

It's "blazingly fast !!", eh? At installing... 
No offence, but I'll wait for a non-biased opinion on the subject. Plus a little more info on it's performance other than how good their installer package is...  |

NIS09 passes all of grc.com,pcflank.com tests by default config here and It is very light and fast on my slow P4 system! Application response time is good and i can open any application without any problems/lags/slowniness. The best thing about NIS09 to me is that theres not a lots of proccesses/services runnin and the performance is good on an old computer! |

Come on.. you've obviously hit a bug and may want to report it, although something tells me you won't.

I love it how "4 days ago" is still a green OK status for age of definition files. When are they going to jump on the bandwagon of daily and hourly updates? |

Caution,
Beta, Beta, Beta.
Installed in less than a minute,on a clean xpsp2 image,P3 768mb test box, ran fine for several hours then modules began crashing one by one, reboot brought every thing back ,surfing,etc. was quite fast, then BSOD and unable to boot, all attempts to repair no-go.
Very unstable on this machine.Oh_well, maybe try next beta. |
