Norton Antivirus is a crown product of one of the most popular brands in security software. It will help protect your computer from viruses, as well as locate threats already lurking on your PC and help you eliminate them.
Installation and configuration
Norton Antivirus is a quick download and installs in just a few minutes. It also doesn't require any technical configuration. Luckily for tech-savvy users, the Norton Antivirus 2013 Settings menu also includes a bunch of configuration options.
Full protection for your computer
Once Norton Antivirus 2013 is up and running, your system will be protected from both viruses and spyware in real time. The program also includes filters for web browsing, downloads and email ? all of these without constantly interrupting your work with nagging messages. There?s even a special Facebook scan that Norton Antivirus uses to detect malicious links.
Norton Antivirus 2013 includes the SONAR technology, already featured in previous versions but improved in this latest one, which keeps you safe from both new and unknown threats. Other interesting tools are the Norton Performance System, which controls system performance by tracking the usage of processor and memory, and Norton Tasks, with which you can keep track of the app's current jobs and pending tasks.
New features
The new Norton Antivirus 2013 is described by its developers as faster, more effective and with more powerful options. Norton's new Threat Removal Layer goes a step deeper in seeking out and destroying threats to your PC. It also offers an automatic update feature. In addition, every time a new version comes out, it will install immediately, saving you the time and hassle of having to manually check for new updates.
Conclusion
Norton Antivirus 2013 has improved its footprint on system resources; it's lighter and faster than the previous version, and provides shorter and quicker scans as well. Also, the interface in Norton Antivirus 2012 has been slightly redesigned to make it clearer and easier to use. The downside of a simpler design however is that the interface is not as informative as it could be, at least at first sight.
Norton Antivirus is a powerful security application that will help you keep viruses, worms and other online threats away from your system without hassle.
