Norton Anti Virus Software Review

Diy-Computer-Repair can help!

Anti virus software, everyone has to have it, the rub is which is better at stopping a virus from infecting and destroying your data?

One offering is the Symantec's Norton AV, this product has been around for a long time originally developed by Peter Norton in the late 1980's then sold off to Symantec then merged with Microsoft the product has improved over the years.

Norton AV is the baseline for anti virus, it has the largest data base of known virus signatures. (a signature is the code of the virus that starts the process of infecting your data).

I have personal experience with the installation and use of this product. It is fairly easy to install either the personal version or the Enterprise version. I have seen this product detect and remove viruses from computers. The email function is one of the best features.

Quote Symantec web site:

"Detects and removes viruses and spyware
Prevents virus-infected emails from spreading
Includes protection updates and new product features as available throughout the renewable service period
Platforms: Windows® XP Home/XP Pro/Windows Vista"

Product overall: I would rate this product 9 out of 10, ease of installation and the constant updates for virus signatures. The reason for not giving this product a 10 out of 10 is that the online technical support of the product is convoluted and clumsy.
