Review - Norton AntiVirus™ 2008

Norton AntiVirus™ 2008 with Antispyware
– Review

 

Enjoy advanced protection from
viruses and spyware

 

 

 

Sometimes, software seems a lot like cars.

 

How? Because months before the beginning of the calendar year, you start seeing the next year's models — packed with exciting new features, technologies and user benefits.

 

That's pretty much the case with the recent unveiling of Norton AntiVirus™ 2008 with Antispyware (1-year protection) for Windows XP/Vista. So, even as early as fall 2007, users have yet another opportunity to upgrade to the latest, most powerful version to date of the industry-leading application for virus and spyware protection.

 

Key Features

For just $39.99 — and available as a download or package pre-order — Norton AntiVirus™ 2008 includes all the functionality that's made it the go-to anti-virus solution for so many years:

  • It detects and removes spyware and worms — even automatic blocking them BEFORE they even attempt to infect your PC.
  • In addition to protecting your PC from incoming email viruses, it also prevents existing ones from spreading — extending extra protection to your family, friends and associates.
  • It discovers and removes hidden threats via rootkit detection — types of malware that ordinary anti-virus programs just can't catch.

New Features

Of course, a new model such as Norton AntiVirus™ 2008 comes with some spiffy debut features as well. Based on preliminary previews, here's what new and exciting for 2008:

  • It comes with vastly improved performance — which means even faster scans, so you can get back to more important tasks.
  • It has much less impact on system startup and resources — freeing them up for other needed performance functions.
  • You can easily access expert support with a single click (though from what we've seen, you'll rarely need it).
  • You'll enjoy the peace of mind of greatly enhanced PC security, thanks to enhanced protection elements.
  • It features quiet background operation — as powerful as it is, you won't even know it's there until you need it!
  • New Network Mapping feature lets you see your entire home network at a glance.

Norton AntiVirus™ 2008 includes one full year of automatic definition updates, new product features and access to updated application versions. And the company's On-Going Protection keeps PCs protected by automatically renewing your subscription at the regular price — just one more thing you won't have to worry about after installing this great PC security solution.

 

SONAR (Symantec™ Online Network for Advanced Response)

Another cool feature of Norton AntiVirus™ 2008 is SONAR (Symantec™ Online Network for Advanced Response). This technology raises security protection even higher by delivering behavior-based protection to detect emerging spyware and viruses even before traditional, signature-based definitions are made. And even after new definitions are made, Quick Start automatically runs when they're received.

 

Unmatched reliability.

Want more assurance that Norton AntiVirus™ 2008 is the best choice for personal PC security? How about the fact that it's the only anti-virus solution that's earned seven straight years of Virus Bulletin 100 detection awards?

 

PC protection just doesn't get much better than this. Our recommendation: check out Norton AntiVirus™ 2008 today.
