what's the difference between Internet Security and Total Protection ? Anyone know ?

Total Protection has 3 add'l. things, as listed on the box. Actually, if you go to the McAfee website, you can do a comparison there. But, these are the add'l. things: 1)Encrypt sensitive documents-even photos-in a password-protected vault on your PC to keep your identity safe from hacking as well as theft or loss of your PC. 2)Easily and safely shorten and share website links to Facebook, Twitter, or email. 3) Advanced SiteAdvisor LIVE software checks and alerts you to risky websites you receive in social media, email, and instant messages and blocks online phishing attempts to steal your personal and confidential information. Those are the 3 things. However, in my opinion, Internet Security pretty much has those things (like SiteAdvisor) and again, in my opinion, they overlap w/the 3 additions that are in Total Protection.

Kaspersky's "Internet Security" (usually more expensive) is an fancier version of "Anti-Virus" (usually cheaper). You pick one or the other, do not purchase both. This website shows the differences: http://usa.kaspersky.com/renewal/home-user-renewals Oddly, the back of the Anti-Virus box has a more better breakdown of the differences. I don't know why they don't put that on their website.

You do not need both. SecureAnywhere Internet Security provides everything that Webroot's antivirus product provides plus the ability to protect your tablet/smartphone and account logins/passwords.

I am looking for this info too; did you ever find out? Kind of surprising how everyone raves about it but it doesn't give any specifics about the level of protection.

I recommend to you not to loose the protection of the product. If you want to wait is ok. but better be protected. Kaspersky 2013 is fine and sometimes you can update to the latestes version for free.

No, not on Internet Security. It does however have one on Titanium Maximum Security, which is a little more.

Norton Anti-Virus is very good about blocking sites that are completely safe at times. The best option is to switch to a better anti-virus software as Norton is full of false positives like this. Something like Malwarebytes or AVG will be better choices and not give problems like this.

I don't know, but this shouldn't be an issue because AVG free edition is vastly superior to both McAfee and Norton and doesn't cost a dime!

Thats an interesting question. I don't see that in the product description. What makes you think that an external hard drive would have antivirus protection? As far as i know its just a harddrive.

Yes, Norton 360 includes internet security. But this product is too intrusive for most users and in my opinion, Norton Internet Security 2010 is a superior program in all ways.

This is not an internet security product. It it a data security product. It's a USB data key that needs a passcode before it will operate. It has nothing to do with the Internet.

I'm not positive, since I use Windows 7. If Windows 8 has anti-virus protection, and I think it does, it would be called Microsoft Security Essentials. If it's installed, it MUST be removed before installing Norton Internet Security. To do so, go to the Control Panel. Then click on Add/Remove Programs and uninstall Microsoft Security Essentials. Once done, immediately install Norton Internet Security. Hope this helps. Tony

I am really not sure about that because this is my first time using Norton. I usually go with AVG. Ithought the price was really good for this and that's why I purchased it. Hope this helps!

Only if you go directly to the McAfee site, I believe. That said, I've tried Norton as well as several other internet security programs. McAfee has always performed well for me, and for the money, cannot be beat.

I've purchased a few of these netbooks and they generally have some (Norton or Trend Security so far) trial addition of anti virus software installed. The first thing I do before connecting to the internet is remove whichever program is installed. Then connect to the internet and download AVG Free. Its a great program and I haven't had any issues with either XP or Windows 7.
