Norton continues its good run... still some flaws and cosmetic improvements this time
I have been using Norton Antivirus/Internet security for years now
(on 3 PCs running XP) and the big turn around for the past few years
with 'light' software has been great. Most times, issues have been due
to non-removal of other/earlier versions of Norton software.
Installation: The recent improvements in installation are continuing
to be great. I was able to upgrade from NIS2010 to 2011 in under 2
minutes. If you still have license period left from your previous
installation, choose to upgrade using Norton upgrade option (You'll get
pop-up notice or check Support - Check new version/product update). If
you upgrade using the disc, it will over-write your existing license
period (doesn't make sense, but that is the case here). However, after
internet upgrade, you can enter the license code from the disc to extend
the license for another year (existing period + one year). During
installation, you may notice wireless connection disconnecting a couple
of times, annoying, but doesn't affect anything.
Performance: There have been slight improvement in performance this
year. The virus signature and upgrades are downloaded in small size
files in the background. So you do not feel it running in the background
even in some older computers. I am still using WinXP and therefore
cannot comment on Win7 compatibility.
Security: I haven't had attacks that damaged anything, but Norton
did report preventing several Trojan-type attacks. If you or people that
you share the computer with connect to unsecured wifi networks, often
visit download sites or click links from email or visit other
potentially unsafe websites, you should set the update scheduler to
constantly look for signature updates rather than schedule signature
updates at computer idle time. This is going to take sometime and
perhaps more resources, but definitely enhances security.
As in previous versions, the Firefox and IE companion generates a
browser toolbar which prompts sites of potential danger (phasing sites
etc.). It also identifies most of the secure websites (amazon, credit
card, bank websites, hotmail, gmail) as safe websites.
Norton has the option to use their password manager, but just like
last version, the password manager is not so secure. Basically you can
store your passwords and access them using a single password for the
manager. However, occasionally, you can login to password manager by
clicking cancel and not entering the password!!
Norton uses a website-based parental control option now. Despite
being called a different name and being able to set profiles for family
members, it is not reliable and not well thought-out. It blocks google
claiming that it is a discussion website, but allows yahoo without any
problem. Similarly, occasionally you can get in to blocked websites just
using the 'back' button in the browser.
Overall, it is still a great piece of software for protection
against internet threats, but password management and parental security
may not be Norton's forte.

One of the best if not the best IS software
Well, after a few month of beta testing I guess it's time to give
everybody my opinion. Since 2010 Norton became my favorite security
suite for my PC, and this one is no exception. I tested it on 3
different PC running XP Pro, Vista H.P.32bit and Windows 7 Ultimate
32bit. Once you get this software it will let you install on 3 different
computers. Haven't tested 64bit version, but I'm pretty sure it should
work the same. For those who already has a 2010 edition you won't see
mush of the changes, it's more like refined version, which is a very
good thing. For the interface it keeps the dark theme, with yellow text,
but moves the large graphic security status indicator from the main
interface window up to the task-bar and system tray icons. The UI is
impressively easy to use. It's still very fast light on resources, with
an extremely good protection. As for everybody else here's what to
expect:
Installation: Once you run the installer, the program is ready to operate in about a minute truly fast just like 2010 version.
Interface: Like I mentioned it has a dark theme (sorry no skins)
with a yellow text. Security controls are condensed into three sections
in the main window: computer protection, network protection, plus a Web
protection. For those who wonders, what is that map at the bottom of the
interface, it represents a threat to each of its users that has been
successfully blocked.
Features & Performance: The thing that makes NIS stand up it
tracks your browser, instant messenger and peer to peer activities of
their global customer base to check which files, links and websites have
been safely used. So let's say if you are one among the first ones to
download a specific file it will ask you whether or not you want to
execute it. For a facebook users it has a Facebook Scan app, which
checks links on facebook to determine if they connect to any sites
containing malware. As for additional tools it has some few freebies
like Norton Online Family parental controls, and the new Norton Power
Eraser. It's a new tool that will aggressively clean your PC of fake
antivirus programs and other malware that prevents legitimate security
tools from being installed. Very nice thing is called Norton Safe Web,
which is a browser toolbar that can alert you to any potential dangerous
links. It works with IE and Firefox.
As going straight for the performance (little fact outside my own
observation)- in independent threat detection and removal tests, Norton
is rated as the best performer overall. Now back to my facts :)- In a
few month of usage, I've seen no crashes that I could relate to NIS
2011. As far as resources goes, NIS 2011 didn't appear to slow down my
system at all. It uses very little memory. Good thing since I have a 4
year old and two 3 year old PC's with 2GB and 3GB of RAM. That is a good
news for a notebook users too.
Bottoms down, with a great security features like checking on your
entire network, bootable recovery tool, easy interface, superb
protection and lite on resources performance - to me this is the best
Security software around. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Plus
with ability to use the same key on 3 different PC's you can split the
cost with your friend or family member if you only own one computer.

Good - has flaws (most will not realize)
I just got a very powerful (Fastest Intel chip avail and 20GB
memory) PC with Win 7 on it. After a week, I put Norton IS 2011 on it.
Well my performance is now noticeably slower but still within reason.
After a day or 2 my CPU settled back down to about 1% on idle and only
an additional 10% of my memory.
This version seems to have done a better job in letting
programs I already have installed and working to continue to work. I
have a lot of SW that communicates over different ports, etc. and this
has not seemed to block any of them. (A major plus for me). The setup
interface seems simple, but if you look at the definitions (and you will
need to), Norton IS (NIS) defines things opposite from what I would
have expected. So that made it almost painful to have to go through
every item, look up the definitions in their help and then choose what I
wanted. By default, it seemed to leave some things "open" that I would
have closed and was way too "automated" for my tastes. I prefer being
asked what to do. Even going through all that, not all the options
clearly tell you that when you have the option set to "on" it will not
ask, and when "off" it will still scan but will ask. Giving them credit,
some of the options are clear and say "ask me" as an option (very few
compared to previous NIS releases).
One of my biggest complaints has to do with cookies in the
browser. There are many cookies I want to keep - some for work and some
just cause I want them (like tvguide.com) I like it when it is setup the
way I want. Well NIS considers it a tracking cookie (and it probably
is) but I want to keep it. My problem is, it found 20 others that I do
want to get rid of. So it gives me 2 choices, Exclude all of them from
future scans or Delete them all. Nothing in between. I cannot even add
the one cookie to the exclude list in some other way (I confirmed this
with NIS support). It picked up others (work releated SW programs) I
want to keep too (not just tvguide.com)... but I cannot keep just
those... grrr... they need to fix this. Deleting all or no cookies is so
early Microsoft IE, which they even fixed (well, to a point).
I do not use their Parental Controls (no need) and their
Identity Safe (heard too many issues from professional reviews) so I am
not taking my chances. Otherwise it is ok from what I can tell. The
interface is fancy - a bit too fancy at times - do I really need to know
what the threat levels are around the world in real time to my PC (Wish
I could shut that off and gain the network bandwidth back).
Oh and one final grief - I told it to scan my web pages, so it added
an add-on to my MS IE and Mozilla Firefox, well it did so by adding a
row onto the header info. It will not allow me to move it, size it or
combine it with other rows like I can with the other "row items (like
Favorites / Home / Page)". It is (once again) an all or nothing deal.
Keep it there and lose a line of space at the top, or remove it and get
no status. Grrr.
