Powerful protection from viruses and spyware that won’t slow you down
Norton Antivirus is one of the most popular names in the antivirus market, relying on a powerful scanning system ,with regular definition updates and real-time protection.Created by the developers over at Symantec, Norton Antivirus promises to be the perfect solution for every computer, as it delivers industry-leading protection against all types of infections, with a moderate footprint on hardware resources.
The installer is extremely efficient and takes only a few seconds after everything is dropped in the right place. And it doesn't ask for a computer restart, something that was mandatory in the past and allowed viruses to spread and sometimes disable antivirus protection.
The interface seems a bit too crowded and clunky and we wouldn't really expect such a main screen from an antivirus that's supposed to be a leader in its segment. The settings menu comprises tons of options, but as always, you should pay extra attention when browsing through them.
There are four scanning modes, 'Reputation Scan', 'Quick Scan', 'Full System Scan' and 'Custom Scan', each with its very own configuration settings. Of course, the third one takes a lot of time and uses a moderate amount of computer resources, but it checks every single file on your machine to make sure you're on the safe side.
Norton Antivirus comprises basically everything to help you stay away from malicious files and online attacks, including an antivirus, antispyware, intrusion prevention, email and browser protection, but also the so-called 'Download Intelligence' to check your file transfers on the go.
Another interesting feature is the so-called 'Facebook Scan' that automatically scans your Facebook wall to verify the published links.
A problem we experienced during our test is related to the update process which seems to take ages when running Norton Antivirus for the first time. It depends on the Internet connection indeed, but the first update needed a lot of time to download, unpack and install all the files.
A really good thing is the fast scanning process that's also quite friendly with computer resources. Plus, it is very efficient thanks to the virus definition updates that are delivered very often, sometimes even several times an hour.
All in all, Norton Antivirus remains one of the top choices when it comes to efficient antivirus solutions.

Norton Internet Security 2013
Powerful protection from online threats to you and your PC without disruptions
Keeping a Windows machine clean is one of the most difficult tasks these days, especially if the user spends several hours browsing the Internet every day. There are a lot of security suites out there though, so there are some ways to protect the data.Norton Internet Security is a suite developed by Symantec and promises to give us the protection we’ve always dreamed about. The whole application has been developed to be extremely user friendly, so you should have no problem using it, regardless if we’re talking about installation or the software per se. Installing it will not necessarily require you to restart you PC.
Everything’s organized within Norton Internet Security, so every tool is in the right place. Thanks to its powerful features, the application can keep you away from most existing threats, including viruses, hacker attacks, spyware, Trojan horses and identity thefts. In case you believe that your computer is already infected, you can easily start a scan to get back on the safe side.
The scanning process actually takes a bit longer than expected no matter the selected scan profile. Norton Internet Security needs some time to look for malware in every sector of your drive. Moreover, it comes down hard on system resources and thus draws back the responsiveness of other running applications.
Norton Internet Security is able to protect you on all fronts, including email, instant messaging, web browsing and all the other online activities. All of these are possible thanks to its particular detection technology - Insight and SONAR (Symantec Online Network for Advanced Response) Protection modules.
These are closely followed by the Smart Firewall, Intrusion Prevention, Identity Safe, Download Intelligence or Safe Surfing modules. Norton's SONAR analyzes the habits of applications upon determining whether they are malicious or not.
At the end of the day, Norton Internet Security doesn't look like beating the competition. Although its revamped interface and modules provide both efficiency and ease-of-use, the overall performance still needs more than just a few tweaks to regain its seat at the top security solutions table.
