Zone Alarm Professional stopped a 17,850 hack attempt on my 98SE machine that
originated from the government of China. According to Zone Alarm Information
anything above a 1000 is considered a hack attempt.

I use Norton Internet Security 2003.

In 2004 I opted not to upgrade to NIS 2004 but just to renew the
subscription. There seemed to be a consensus that 2004 version was
less reliable.

Now, in 2005, I have the same dilemma: upgrade or renewal? While I
understand that a lot of folks here are in favor of dropping Symantec
altogether, let's keep this option out (at least for now).

Those who either got or upgraded to NIS 2005, what is your opinion
about the product? Any known issues and/or incompatibilities?


If you don't mind the inconvenience of reconfiguring: cheat. Uninstall
NIS, then re-install it. This will reset the subscription to your
install date + 1 year.

Otherwise, on my parent's computers, I've been using Zone Alarm (free
version) and Grisoft Free AVG for AntiVirus
