Update to NIS 2012?
I have Norton Internet Security 2011 and have a free upgrade available for NIS 2012 and I'm wondering if that will be a good idea.
Opinions welcome.

I upgraded last week with no problems. The Norton Community site have reported a few problems but nothing serious and they are being worked on. It is suppose to have upgraded security so I went with it. Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus - Norton Community

I always like to wait for a month or two before upgrading to the latest version of NIS. Most new programs have still got a few bugs, and it takes a couple of weeks until they're ironed out :-)
PCMag has listed it as their Editor's Choice :-) Norton Internet Security 2012 Review & Rating | PCMag.com
You could also just trial it and see if you like it - if not, you can downgrade to NIS 2011 again and wait for a few more weeks. | | My System Specs | | |
