====2012 (19.x)==== Norton Internet Security 2012 was released on September 6, 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Protection-Blog/What-s-New-in-Norton-Internet-Security-2012/ba-p/433160 |title=What's New in Norton Internet Security 2012|date=14 April 2011 |publisher=Norton Community|access-date=2012-10-04}}</ref> [[Norton Insight|Download Insight]] 2.0 monitored files for safety and the stability of a given file. I.e. if a file was stable on Windows 7, but unstable on Windows XP, XP users would be notified of the file's instability. Enhanced removal tools were tightly integrated for better cleanup of infected systems. Once triggered, the new, more powerful version of [[Norton Power Eraser]] restarted the system to locate and remove [[fake antivirus]] software and other deeply embedded threats that were otherwise hard to remove. A new tool called Norton Management helped manage different computers and devices from a single location. Other changes included [[SONAR (Symantec)|SONAR 4]], [[Google Chrome]] compatibility for Identity Safe and [[Norton Safe Web|Safe Web]] and the ability to store passwords and notes in the cloud. However, the [[EULA|License Agreement]] did not guarantee passwords were stored securely and provided no remedy if the cloud vault was compromised.<ref>{{Citation | title = Norton License Agreement Identity Safe | publisher = [[NortonLifeLock|Symantec]] | at = 4A, 5A | url = https://identitysafe.norton.com/download | edition = CPS / IDS 1.0 / IE }}</ref> The user interface was simplified to use only three buttons. The third button opened a more advanced and complicated menu, where the user was able to manage settings and access different product features. The CPU meter that was removed from Norton 2011, returned (only on the "advanced screen"). Combining the netbook and desktop line, Norton Internet Security integrated Bandwidth metering, which controlled the product's traffic usage and reduces it to minimum if necessary. This was ideal for networks with limited traffic., the user interface window adjusted according to the size of the computer screen. This version of Norton Internet Security included several Easter eggs. Pressing Shift+1, 2, 3 or 4 would change the theme to default background (plain black), ray, animals, and floral respectively. holding Control + Win Key + Alt while pressing "[[Norton System Insight|performance button]]" to activate "Crazy Flip", which made the window flip head over heels. The effect would continue until the main window was closed and reopened. Scans were scheduled through Symantec's proprietary scheduler, which performed tasks while the computer was idle.
