Norton Anti-Virus 2008 surprised us by performing very well against detecting and removing viruses, spyware, rootkits, worms and trojans.
We had a few problems with the installation as well as uninstalling the product. After reading many reviews from websites such as CNET and PC Magazine, we found that this seems to be a major problem.
Norton anti-virus scans slow and uses a lot of system resources which slowed our computer down from surfing the Internet as well as running additional programs at the same time.
The interface is very neat and easy to use even for a beginner. Norton scans in real time and detects malicious programs in your email before they can do damage.
Overall, Norton done average with detecting malware and excellent at removing them. But because the software scans very slow, uses a lot a system resources and caused a few problems while installing and uninstalling, we did not rate it in our top choices.
