What in the world is CNET thinking. Okay, yes I do see some of the issues they outlines in Norton IS 2008 (I'm using it as we speak), but the whole time they kept comparing it to Mcafee Total Protection which is a completely different animal. Mcafee Internet Security is the program that would be comparable, not Total Protecton. If they compared Total Protection to anything, it should have been Norton 360. They said pretty much that Mcafee for a lower price also has system cleaning tools and all this yammer. Well that's true it does, but that's Total Protection, Norton Internet Security is just that, Internet security, that's all it does and it's designed to do it very well (and does, it works fine). Norton 360 is the Symantec program that has system tools, backups, and all the extras. All I can say is I know who is paying CNET this year. 06=Kaspersky, 07=Symantec, 08=Mcafee.
