Plugging the hole in netbook security

Many people who buy netbooks simply assume that they come fully loaded with all the software that they need. This is not always the case as original softwares cost a fair bit of money and once a buyer has purchased a netbook, he or she may have to pay for netbook security.

As the primary reason a netbook is used is to surf the net, a reliable internet security suite for netbooks is a must-have. Your netbook security must be fully in place before you use the netbook particularly if you use the net for making purchases or doing online transactions, giving out financial details and also as a means of keeping your mail secure.

Now the problem with netbooks is that they do not come with an optical drive, and internet security suite softwares are usually installed from a CD or DVD. So how do you get round this problem?

One way is to buy an external DVD drive, attach it to your netbook and use it whenever necessary. However, this entails extra expenditure and obviously you don’t want to be lugging an external drive everywhere with you.

Another way is to download it from the net directly – most internet security suites can be downloaded from the manufacturers’ websites on payment by credit card. This can sometimes cause a problem in that while your netbook security will be in place, and your internet security suite working once you follow instructions, you are going to be able to use it for a year.

If your hard disk needs to be formatted or crashes, you will also lose the internet security suite which gives your netbook security and your money.

Now Norton has come out with an innovative solution to the netbook security problem – the company has launched the Norton Internet Security Netbooks Edition which comes on a USB stick, so you don’t need a DVD drive.

Norton Internet Security Netbooks Edition takes the guesswork out of netbook security and helps to eliminate the technobable that makes computer security difficult to understand and control. You get comprehensive protection that won’t slow you down or swallow up netbook resources. Delivered on USB and it’s perfect for your Netbook.

The Norton Internet Security Netbooks Edition is now available for order from Amazon.
