Norton Internet Suite 2010 Revisited

Symantec's Norton Internet Security 2010 has proved that it is one of the best antivirus firewall software programs there is.  Its promise to focus more in providing overall protection has been fulfilled effectively time and time again.

Long-held to be one of the best antivirus programs around, Norton Internet Security is so easy to install.  Updating the software's virus database is just as easy, too. With just a click of a button, the program updates will be installed in your computer in almost four minutes only. If it detects any problem, it will fix the problem automatically and immediately. In case the LiveUpdate feature of the program does not work, it will provide the user technical support through live chat. It also has a privacy protection that will protect you from possible identity theft.

Norton Internet Suite 2010 has a reliable antispam feature that can block and detect possible spam that may enter your system. Its antispam feature has been improved and currently now filters POP3 e-mails and seamlessly integrates with MS Outlook and MS Outlook Express.

Also, it has a Parental Control feature that is Web-based and is, therefore, compatible with all computers and platforms. Users can manage the feature with any computer connected to the Internet. The OnlineFamily.Norton is a free parental control feature of Norton Internet Security 2010.

A thorough malware protection scan is faster in Norton Internet Suite 2010 than in the previous versions. At first the scan may take an hour or two.  The subsequent scans, however, will take lesser time; only the initial scan will take some considerable time. This is due to Norton's intelligent scanning, which skips files that do not have any changes since the last scan.  For removing malware, Norton got a score of 8 out of 10 from most benchmarking tests, reviews, and critiques of security software experts.  It got a score of 7 for the test on the detection and removal of keyloggers.

When you browse the Web, Norton will warn you through its Site Safety feature if it detects websites that may contain malware.

In case the user will be able to download a malware, Download Insight will be able to detect it. If a certain suspicious file begins to attack the system, the SONAR will prevent it from doing any further harm to your computer. AutoProtect will collect some samples of a suspicious file in case you download possible malware. Another good thing about the Norton Internet Security is that scanning your computer will not slow down your system despite Norton's multilayered security protection.

So many big players are now competing in the security software arena and improving their programs' features. But, among them, this antivirus really stands out and has really gotten even better. No doubt that Norton Internet Security 2010 is one of the leading and the best antivirus software programs there is.
