Throughout the years I have used several programs to protect home computers from the usual threats of surfing the web; although no Antivirus is bullet proof against every possible virus or hacker, not having an up to date antivirus is welcoming trouble.
This new version compares to similar entries of other vendors, and most of the basic features are shared in all the programs. Once installed and configured, Norton Antivirus 2011 will be an automated application, downloading updates, running background scans and showing alerts of downloaded files or informing about Trojans in files that you want to execute.
