Why is this review so late?
Norton Internet Security 2012 came out towards the end of 2011.

Watch the renewal price!
I have used NIS for the last few years and am generally happy with it so was happy to renew......until I saw they were trying to charge £39 for it. You can easily get it new from places like ebuyer.com @ £13.25 currently. To be fair Norton will match this price but it is an old fashioned rip off so beware.

I'm surprised that no mention is made of a serious and yet unresolved flaw with NIS. I bought my multi-licenced version as a result of positive reviews and price. On 2 PCs NIS installed without a hitch, the 3rd seemed to be taking rather a long time it was then that I discovered that NIS was merrily deleting all my programs including W7. Nothing worked to recover my programs (files were intact) so I installed a beta version of W8 which I find has a limited capacity compared to W7.
