Hey all,

Just wanted to say first off that Norton Internet Security 2011 is very fast, and works fine for me. I'd highly recommend it to others especially if you buy it off amazon.com for $31 (it's a steal imo).

I just have one quick question: should I enable or disable the toolbar that comes with NIS? I've always heard (especially from tweakhound.com) that toolbars are 100% unnecessary. opinions are very welcome.

thanks

If you don't use it then loose it. In FF you can click on view/toolbars and uncheck the ones you don't want. Bring them back by checking them. I use the "identity safe" to store my logins and it populates them on the web sites.

If you don't use it then no real reason to keep it. Just disable it you can always bring it back later.
