Norton AntiVirus 2009

By (cnet.com)

Norton Antivirus 2009 has a leaner footprint, improved speed, white listing, and other technologies to mark clean files as trusted, and free technical support.

Despite its free telephone support, Norton Antivirus 2009 lacks adequate online technical support and, intentional or not, it drives users to its paid technical support services.

Norton Antivirus 2009 hits all the right security notes, and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks, though for some, technical support may continue to frustrate.

Product Reviews: Norton AntiVirus 2009 with Antispyware

By Jason Saundalkar (itp.net)

Testing various versions of Symantec€™s Norton AntiVirus (NAV) software over the last few years, the WinLabs team has always described the experience as bittersweet. While the software has always proved highly competent and easy-to-use, it has also ...

Quick to install, interface is better than ever, no longer makes your PC unusable when working, resident scanner works like a charm.

Updates are still quite big.

NAV 2009 takes a couple of steps in the right direction. While not perfect, we’re happy to recommend it now, even if you have an older PC

"Norton 2009 - It Works Better Then Ever!!"

By mrbrettr (cnet.com)

I left Norton years ago and was very unhappy ... 

Intalled in under 5 mins on Vista Prem 64-bit system with no problems. Low resources and no impact on performance. Updates quietly, quickly. Vista Sidebar widget. On demand scanning hasn't slowed system. Settings are much eaiser to use and find.

Full complete system scan (all files and .zip etc.) can take 30 minutes on large hard drives (1tb). Could be a tad more customizeable in the settings.

"Pay Attention To Norton Software This Year!"

Speed and ease of use are the first things I noticed. I just had to install it and Norton does all the rest. There are not a whole bunch of different buttons to click. Doesnt take up as much space on your PC. Price is pretty reasonable.

None that I have noticed as of yet.
