Norton 2007 is easy to use and has extensive security features to protect your PC from malicious programs. Some of this protection includes instant messaging scanning, script blocking and POP3 and SMTP email protection. However, this software doesn?t provide protection from P2P or file sharing transfers. Considering all the features we gave a 4 rating for this feature.
