Norton Antivirus is well designed virus protection software

Norton Antivirus by Symantec is a complete, well executed virus protection software package that not only gets the job done, but does it with flying colors. Of all the virus protection products currently on the market, Norton's offering is one of the most proven applications, with years of a successful track record and many happy customers. The Symantec program is very easy to set up and use, and Norton updates the virus signature files more than once a week, which is very convenient for those of us who want to have the most up-to-the minute virus software protection at an affordable price.

I have been using Symantec's Antivirus for several years now, and I am very happy with the feature set and ease of use and updating. One of the great features is Norton LiveUpdate. LiveUpdate allows you to update all of the components of you Symantec products (not just Antivirus, but ANY Symantec product that you have installed).

 LiveUpdate provides the latest signature files (sometimes referred to a "Virus definitions" which ensures that you are protected from new viruses and digital threats almost immediately after they are discovered on the internet. Additionally, this feature of Norton virus software products will also update your virus scanning engine if there is an update available and will ensure that your virus protection is compatible if you upgrade your operating system (such as updating to Windows XP Service Pack 2).

The entire virus protection software package is extremely well rounded and the interface is both pleasing to the eye and intuitive. The controls are simple enough for a beginner to grasp immediately, yet they are powerful enough to allow experienced users to customize their virus protection to their needs. Manual scans for viruses are added to the context menu in Explorer, which allows for easy, one click virus scanning of individual files and folders.

Within the Symantec Norton main interface, you will also see options for the mail plug-in which detects viruses that come in via most major email clients and on demand scanning options that allow power users to optimize the performance of the application by manually overriding folders by creating an "exceptions list".

All things considered, Norton's Antivirus offering from Symantec is an excellent value for the money.
