Drilling down into the configuration settings, we see "Turn on Suspicious Activity Monitoring" or "Turn on Bloodhound heuristics"-but do we really need these features? Symantec provides us with very little additional information (for example, the built-in Help file says only "Turn on Bloodhound heuristics," not what it does), continuing with a practice adopted long ago by Symantec of making decisions for the user rather than presenting the user with options. Our central problem is that while Norton Internet Security 2008 offers some useful features, we had no way of tweaking or learning more about any of the features. Heavy black borders with orange/yellow graphics with blue text on white background is a mess to look at, let alone use. Unlike McAfee Internet Security 2008, Norton's interface isn't very intuitive or pleasing to the eye. Unlike with Kaspersky, you can't change the look and feel of Norton Internet Security 2008. The use of ominous thick black borders and bright yellow/orange graphics suggests Halloween, a look that could get old by March. If first impressions are everything, Norton Internet Security 2008 loses us at "Hello." The new interface, shared among all 2008 Norton security products except Norton 360, is dark and garish, almost a perverse joke on those seeking reassuring security for their desktop. These we had to remove manually before installing our next text Internet Security package. In the end, however, ever after using both the uninstall application and the Norton Removal Tool, we still found registry keys and program file folders on our test machine. According to Symantec, this Norton Removal Tool "uninstalls all Norton 2008/2007/2006/2005/2004/2003 products and Norton 360 from your computer." The difference, we were told, is that "the removal tool will remove shared components, like LiveUpdate, even if other Norton products that depend on the shared component are installed." Symantec does not recommend this removal tool if you have other Symantec products installed. To do so, says Symantec, you will need to use the Norton Removal Tool. In other words, it won't necessarily remove all traces of Norton Internet Security 2008 from your PC.

The uninstall option, according to Symantec, is no more effect ive than the Windows Add/Remove option. Should you decide to uninstall Norton Internet Security 2008, there is an uninstall option on the All Programs listing, but we found it wasn't perfect. Symantec says they haven't heard any consumer complaints like ours.

After waiting a few minutes-assuming the update would complete on its own-we were still unable to use the desktop and, worse, were unable to shut down the system without a hard reboot. During the freeze events, our Windows Task Manager revealed that aupdate.exe (Symantec's LiveUpdate service) was stuck, consuming more than 50 percent of our system resources. More than once while reviewing Norton Internet Security 2008, our Dell XPS machine running Windows XP froze. Over the years we'd heard from people who'd had performance issues with Norton products but we hadn't recently experienced any performance issues ourselves-until now. Unfortunately, you'll be asked to reboot our machine with each new update but we experienced other problems with the new LiveUpdate process. Symantec says this year's LiveUpdate packets are more compressed. Once the product is installed and you're asked to update, everything-program files and signature files-arrive on your desktop together, making the experience smoother and easier.

LiveUpdate, which used to be a separate process, is now integrated into Norton Internet Security 2008-and about time.
