Just a note on Norton Internet Security 2005. I recommend that people do not upgrade to 2005 if they have 2003/2004. Its about 50/50 out there for problems with 2005. The lucky people have no problems, the unlucky have major headaches. I have had to help out numerous people who normally can install an upgrade. One client - I had to turn off the liveupdate for one component because the update disabled all communications and I could not configure NIS at all after it was installed. This is a computer that has very limited apps running on it (but one app is very specific for their profession and I have no other client's using it so it may be a problem with that application causing a conflict. The company that writes it does not yet support SP2!)
