2009 Norton Antivirus

The two words "Norton" and "antivirus" are called "quarters" and "book" since 1990 and again since 1994, has Symantec Central Point Software, and Norton is one of the go-to anti-virus programs give If errors occur, the Microsoft products.

This time, Norton is, as the festival 2009: the latest version of Norton AntiVirus 2009 is the collection of course for something like an infection in the remote access to your system - from bugs, viruses and worms and other bad metaphors. The only question that remains is the simplest: Is Norton Antivirus 2009 the product?

How Norton AntiVirus 2009 Stacks Up

A good antivirus program humming along, which is left unnoticed and in the background. Ideally, a program is trying to destroy something on your computer, it defaults to an accident or not, as you know, the reason for your computer using the train or the crash. Antivirus programs that are on your way is often a bad one: the goal is simplicity. Set it and forget it.

In the past virus programs, Norton is not always so good when he came in the former "silent" test. It is too tempting for programmers to make a balloon ride over its scope and functions at the same time unnecessary to sacrifice the performance.

So, like Norton AntiVirus 2009 by the office "set it and forget it" category?

Norton Antivirus Screen Shot

What is surprising is better than you think. Norton has a good reputation in the past as one of the "suite" to your computer with lots of light, into the memory of your computer too much to think. The current office, 2009, offers a much better performance.

It is a bit of a shock, since the announcement of Norton NEW! Rapid pulse updates every 5 to 15 minutes. " I am bored by a virus, which bothers me more than once per day and less than six times an hour. Like the passengers on a plane, which is upset about the food, but also the miracle of flight of what is human, it is simply too much to expect our software, especially that our antivirus software will not only do the job perfectly, but never to interrupt in order to tell us.

If I were a council before Symantec released in 2009, then it would be something in this direction: the simplicity. It is not just about the experience of users happy, but it makes the product more accessible for new users. I was surprised to note that 2009, a concerted effort, what a remarkable achievement.

Use AntiVirus 2009

After a check in the amount of more power, it is time that the use of software. If it works well, but not enough fun or not intuitive to use, there are no points for the greatest achievement in the first place.

Norton does not try to reinvent the wheel, giving you the kind of icons in the corner of Southern Company, which brings the double-click Control Panel AntiVirus usual options and statistics.

What I loved, are on / off functions. Not on the whole program itself - if I have it set to "off" I could remove them. Instead, Norton allows the user to turn on / off the different aspects of performance options.

For example, if you want to disable e-mail/message scanners because you are ill scanning e-mails, you can suggest. If you do not cut anything for a day, because you're close-up, you can just close for a day. Or a few hours. Or a few minutes. Everything depends on what you want.

The typical usage will be offered including full scans of the above notification and digitization. Norton is a bit more memory in your household in this period, but it is to be expected. After the computer you use, it should not really much, especially if you in 2009 on a computer, as well.

As with the Live Update component, which many people consider Norton lose unnecessarily, and it is still there. But the good news is that Live Update, and in 2009 not as a separate entity. According to the Keep It Simple, Stupid (KISS) rule has paid in a big way.

It should be noted, of course, is that Norton AntiVirus 2009 is a long-lost cousin of Norton Internet Security 2009, in which many users can observe improvements in AntiVirus.

We should also mention that Norton is also a new feature called Insight, who is on fast scans, but you probably need a user that you really understand what really. Beginners will be able to ignore this feature.

Conclusions

Well, after all this, and some updates from Symantec, how can we finally rejected the software Norton AntiVirus 2009?

I would be using the phrase "pleasant surprise" because it is not totally excited, but it has definitely communicates satisfaction. Many users of Norton in the past, slowly grew tired of the scans, the discrete and unnecessary files, and most of the complexity year after year.

It is the argument that Norton is responsible for the low standards of how many users already, and other brands. But the means to be a product that reviewers and efforts seem to take the necessary steps to positive change. The result? Que'08 a better product that is really what we ask.

BitDefender Internet Security 2009

These tests simulate how a continuation can detect new and unknown malware. But while BitDefender also sets out some inconveniences, which overshadowed the previous version of BitDefender Internet Security 2009, a few bumps.

BitDefender very good for catching malware, the tree stumps 98.9 percent of AV-Test from the Collection of Trojans, bots and other malware. It is a small improvement, but much to his previous earnings 97.2 percent of the catch in this test, but only rated fourth.

However, BitDefender Internet Security 2009 is better than most competitors in the tests that the use of proactive two weeks at the age of signature files. He discovered 52 percent of the malware, a better result that the sequence G Data.

A single false positive alert, while BitDefender Internet Security 2009 with a capacity of rootkits smell was great. Indeed, he has to recognize and remove all non-employed workers and samples of software, the Stealth-AV-Test.org facility.

BitDefender has done well to also clean the existing malware infections, the removal of all files for any infection, but an hour. But for half of the infections, some changes in the registry (which are much less likely to hurt any time left rear) and the speed of digitization is in the middle of the field.

We were happy, a few modifications to BitDefender Internet Security 2009 web interface. For one thing, right after the installation, we were warned that our test laptop was equipped with a wireless network is not encrypted. It can also detect when you insert removable media like a USB stick and asks if you wish. If a pop-up bothers you, you can tick a box to prevent BitDefender show again, but we wanted to have a choice.

Counter balancing these points are, however, some disadvantages. Although BitDefender Internet Security 2009 firewall includes listening to certain applications that connect to the Internet, we have a reference to the less well-known FTP FileZilla.

Therefore, we have an error appeared in the Windows Security Center said that the more up to date, although he referred to an update 40 minutes before restarting cleared false.

Security software and new

BitDefender is a good scanner, the vulnerability can download the updates from Windows or the application, but the company apparently is not their version of the list as quickly as they should. It reported the correct version installed Firefox (3.0.4), but said that the current version is 3.0.1. If we had probably not been notified, so we had a out-of-date browser.

A comprehensive parental control feature provides options to restrict access to websites and programs installed, and you can also look to specific topics in Web pages and e-mails or chats to refuse, especially the contacts.

In our use of tests, where we have tried to download adware Zango, the role of parental control to prevent the browser to download the file, but it does not require notification or other communication that attempt to block.

This kind of quirkiness might cause some confusion. When we turned the control exercised by the parents after the ordinary protection of files, blocking the download of the recordings on the hard disk - and will the pop-up, too.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 is very clean and easy to use. It consists of three main tabs - the protection, settings and support. Kaspersky is the perfect tool for the home and advanced users. There are the recommended settings for the user, you can start immediately, while more advanced users, you can fully customize "and the" according to their needs.

Kaspersky few are really the only skills, but it combines a multitude of useful functions that are unique from most of its competitors. What this package is not a firewall, but you're probably better with a program of one hour in any case.

The system allows the digitization accelerates the performance required by the digitization of new or changed files. Another plus is the ability to Kaspersky to speed, that is, it will break in if the other activities require additional resources or simply to reduce the demand for system resources, depending on the activity of the user.

Kaspersky updates its definitions on an hourly basis, updates will automatically be accepted if for some reason, the connection is bad.

He also manages the runs on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 is easy to install and work in peace and without news.

Cons

During May, an inexperienced user the program easy to use, the basis for the kind of Panda Antivirus Pro 2009 may be this program a bad choice for users who are easier with the anti-virus software and computers in general. There are some properties that there are not many of Panda Antivirus Pro 2009, apparently in an attempt to easy, what would have been nice to include.

One of these features are missing, is an update of tasks. While for many users, it is good that after the updates automatically, it will probably also others who prefer to program updates time, they are not with their system, or the more (or less) and frequent intervals.

Another feature missing Panda Antivirus Pro 2009, for the inability to quarantine viruses and spyware that are not disinfected instead simply removed. This means for example that if a panda eliminates adware program that you installed, you get a very difficult period of restoration, which is a problem for many users.

Although Panda Antivirus Pro 2009 test is not with the laboratories, we read some reports of users, crashed with some types of malware. Again, it was not by the laboratories themselves, but we felt that it is important that, since the information of the user "in the trenches is very valuable for the rest of us in making decisions about the computer programs to select.
