As with previous versions, Symantec’s suite offers protection against viruses, Trojans, rootkits, spyware and malware of all kinds. Also, like previous versions, it has a firewall, intrusion protection, e-mail protection and Web protection. It integrates with your browser and search engine to warn you away from visiting sites that might be malicious.
The suite, despite its hefty feature set, does not take up a good deal of RAM or system resources. It’s unlikely that you’ll even notice it’s running, a welcome change compared to several versions ago when it bogged down your system.
Installation:
Norton AntiVirus 2010 quickly installs in only 54 seconds and requires no system reboots. With its Download Manager and Installation Wizard, Norton is now one of the easiest Anti Virus programs to install. Long gone are the days when Norton used to take 20+ minutes to install and required multiple reboots to install (4-5 years ago).
New Features:
• Norton Download Insight, File Insight, Threat Insight, System Insight,
and Norton Insight Network
• SONAR™ 2 Behavioral Protection
