Norton 2007 Products Have Arrived – Norton Internet Security 2007 & Norton AntiVirus 2007

What product are you using for your computer security? Many people in the world, including myself, are now using Symantec Norton Internet Security 2006. However, the new 2007 product line of Norton security products has arrived so let’s have a look at what’s new about them.

One thing to note: both Norton Internet Security 2007 and Norton AntiVirus 2007 only work on Windows XP, and they are also eligible for a free Windows Vista compatibility update.

If you are a Mac user (Mac OS X version 10.3.x or higher), Symantec also provides the solution for you. You could consider any of the following products:
Unfortunately, if you are still using Windows 98 or some other platforms, the Norton 2007 won’t work on your machine. Your choices are that you can stick with your current antivirus software, buy a new desktop or laptop PC or consider upgrading your operation system.
