Norton Antivirus 2009_1 user

Strengths:

New and improved; fast; lean and easy to install.

Weaknesses:

Haunted by previous resource hog versions.

Posted 1 year ago - In the last few years as a long time users of Norton's products, I have reluctantly switched to other antivirus programs because Norton Antivirus was well-known as a resource hog. Listening to users' complaints, Norton has dramatically improve its virus scan engine to the point that it is now the fastest Antivirus product on the market. It uses much less memory than competitors with its smaller file-size while speeding up the scanning time as well as installing time. The use of Norton Insight to identify trusted files on the computer cut scanning times by almost 90%. This new and improved version of NAV 2009 has successfully lured me back to use Norton AV and IS products again.

Good antivirus at a good price...

Strengths:

Found a virus that a few other fully updated freeware scanners did not detect at all.

Weaknesses:

You'll want to download there latest version from the website. Then just use the serial number from the software shipped to install it.

Posted 1 year ago - I've used many different brands of anti virus software, and always return to Norton AV because I believe it to be the best. This product was ordered and shipped to me within one week.

Nortin AntiVirus 2009

Strengths:

No problems upgrading from Norton AntiVirus 2008.

Weaknesses:

None So Far

Posted 1 year ago - User interface on 2009 is completely different. I completely removed my Norton AntiVirus 2008 software BEFORE installing Norton AntiVirus 2009 on both my Desktop PC (Windows XP) and laptop PC (Windows Vista). The installation on both operating systems was successful. The features I was used to in the earlier versions are still available in 2009, you just have to look around in different places on the main menu to find them. Same as last year, the spyware protection included in Norton AntiVirus 2009 is most appreciated. I would have preferred keeping my old 2008 version for a second year, but the second year of Norton AntiVirus protection is so expensive, I found it cheaper to buy the new 2009 version for $49.99 from Fry's and submit two $20 rebates. Net cost for another year of protection = $9.99 plus tax.

Norton Antivirus 2009

Strengths:

very nice product & does not take much cpu

Weaknesses:

none

Posted 1 year ago - i did use 2008 version and I am very happy..2009 version is same with good updates and we get lot of alerts..It automatically cut off Windows Defender which some people may find annoying. It uses very little of system resources and has a graph on the interface you can use to monitor the resources. It scans incoming email.Additionally it allows the scans to be run in the background - in this case the scan will only run when the computer is idle. Which means you can carry on with your work and let the scan do its job when you are not doing anything - obviously it increases the time required to complete the scan but none the less I find it is a useful option

Quite some bugs

Strengths:

Many features and functions

Weaknesses:

Bugs and incompatibilities

Posted 1 year ago - After many positive descriptions i installed Norton Antivirus 2009 on my system(XP with SP2, 2.8 GHz, 2 MBytes). And then there were nasty problems: - SRTSP reported that it cannot find proper registry data and had to load default, - IE 7 did freeze and could not be stopped with task manager, only reset, - During system scan at approx one million files the program did not continue though progress bar was updating; again revery was only possible by reset. I was happy that i had made an image shortly befor installation so that i could easily go back to the stable configuration (wit Norton Antivirus 2008). The incompatibility with IE 7 is so critical that Antivirus 2009 is not really useable - maybe Symantec can repair this bug...
