'''Norton Internet Security''', developed by [[NortonLifeLock|Symantec Corporation]], is a discontinued computer program that provides [[malware]] protection and removal during a subscription period. It uses [[Antivirus software#Signature-based detection|signatures]] and [[Antivirus software#Heuristics|heuristics]] to identify [[computer virus|viruses]]. Other features include a [[personal firewall]], [[email spam]] filtering, and [[phishing]] protection. With the release of the 2015 line in summer 2014, Symantec officially retired Norton Internet Security after 14 years as the chief Norton product. It was superseded by [[Norton Security]], a rechristened adaptation of the original [[Norton 360 (2006-2014)|Norton 360]] security suite.<ref name="New Norton Security to Replace All Nine Products of Norton">{{Cite web|url=https://techdows.com/2014/08/new-norton-security-to-replace-all-nine-products-of-norton.html|title=New Norton Security to Replace All Nine Products of Norton|date=August 19, 2014|website=Techdows}}</ref> The suite was once again rebranded to (a ''different'') [[Norton 360]] in 2019.

Symantec distributed the product as a download, a boxed [[Compact disc|CD]], and as [[Original equipment manufacturer#Computer software|OEM software]].
