I wouldn't bother with Windows own. I don't know if it's still true, but Diskeeper used to be the company that provided Microsoft with its basic defragger tool - basically a crippled version of the real thing, what marketing people call "aspirational" (it looks great on paper, but it doesn't yet or never will work). Here again, good judgment is needed, Norton's Internet Security help with making sound judgments. This goes along with Norton's anti-phishing, parental control management, proactive performance alerts, Norton's insight, system wide and downloading, and identity safe.
I think it was 2009 when Norton did a total redesign of their security software because previous versions had been complete resource hogs and slowed your system down. This has ceased to be a problem and the Norton Internet Security products for 2010 and both of which I have used, have been great.
Ten years ago, Norton was abysmal software. However, they've come a long way since then. You can continue working on other programs with minimal intrusion while a scan is in progress because Norton AV doesn't bog down your computer like a lot of the other AV programs (of which BitDefender must surely be the worst offender). A Full System Scan performs a scan on critical areas as well as files on local drives, mapped network drives, and removable drives. A Full System Scan on my system, which includes a 160 GB and a 1 TB network drive, took over 4 hours. But what the Full System Scan lack in scan speeds it makes up for in its low demand on system resources. Definitely don't even consider buying this until the problem is known to be fixed. I always use to hate Norton antivirus products until a couple years ago when I read excellent reviews about their Internet Security package. I had some problems installing and it took me more than one try! Since I already had Norton I had to use the Norton removal tool. In some cases, it just sapped too much of the computer's resources. In at least one case, it basically slowed my machine to a stop.
It's intuitive and efficient. I have an ancient machine by today's standards and I don't notice any system drag during file openings or downloads. Second, I have had trouble properly activating the product, including this year. This time it told me that the activation was successful, but after the first reboot it said that the product had expired.
The software installed on my computer in under 12 minutes and was up and running at that time. It can be used on three computers, a "BOON" for folks that have multiple family members using their own computers.
I would recommend to anyone. I think that Norton is the best internet security program on the market at the moment.
I'm very pleased. I initially used Norton because I wasn't too familiar with the quality of Internet Security software.
