Gee, I recently upgraded to NIS 2005 and it works like a champ. With its
new spam checking I was able to discontinue use of Mail Washer. Between Cox
spam checking and NIS spam checking I only have to deal with 1 or 2 spams a
day compared to over a hundred before using Cox and NIS. I like the new
Block Traffic icon. Since I'm on cable it's a handy way to stop intrusions
while leaving my computer on for maintenance activities. It loads faster on
bootup then my previous version of Norton.
I agree it's a little bloated with capabilities but I use them all except
for Parental Control.
