Norton Internet Security

Can anyone tell me the difference between

Norton Internet Security 2010

and

Norton internet security 2010 performance pack

Sorry if it is a silly question but I can not work out why Norton internet security 2010 performance pack is cheaper than just Norton internet security 2010. I can not find any info about it on Norton Website as only mentions Norton Internet Security 2010 on there.
Both are for 3 users.

    Is the performance pack not the aledged upgrade version, which is the same as the normal NIS but cheaper cos it is an upgrade con.

    Performance pack is exactly the same, just with an added disk of Norton Utilities.

    Performance pack is just the one on offer at the moment...the 'proper' version was half price-ish a couple of weeks back
    Squirrel!
    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

    Not Sure,
    Looks like it is NIS & some extra's but sounded a bit too good to be true due to price, wondered if I have missed something.

    Thanks, yes I missed offer on the other version a few weeks ago as everytime I went to get it they were out of stock, then the offer ended.
    This Performance pack one looks ok as mine runs out in weeks time.

    Much of the functionality of Norton utilities is built into windows.
