Norton is one of the largest Anti-virus and Internet Security Software provider of the world. They have come up with their latest tool called “Norton Internet Security 2010”

In this post, I will give you a complete review of the product which I am using on my Windows 7 Computer. Also there are 5 Licenses of Norton Internet Security 2010 valid for one PC for 1 year to be won if you participate in this giveaway.

I will review the Norton Internet Security 2010 step by step on its features, performance, effectiveness and usability from a user’s perspective.

When you install the Norton Internet Security, it may download some updates during installation.

It will ask you for the license key to start the setup. If you have purchased the physical copy in a box, the license key is printed on a yellow sticker on the CD cover. Use that key and please preserve it with you in case you need to install again for some reason.

After Installation you will see a screen like one below, which will start the Anti-virus and internet security services to protect your computer. A really nice thing about Norton Internet security is that it is fully compatible with Windows 7 / Windows Vista and Windows XP, so the interface on my Windows 7 computer came really well and it gels itself well with Windows 7 security settings etc. I used some other security software before on Windows 7 and they were not fully compatible. In that case I faced a problem that Windows 7 Action center will keep warning me that my computers Virus Protection is not adequate.

The Norton Internet Security 2010 will prompt you to create an online account and activate it. This is really helpful in case you need software support or need to contact Norton for any kind of queries or services.

The online account will list your product purchases, product expiry date and will prompt you by email if your product is going to expire, this will help you renew your product and keep your computer safe.

You can see a round yellow icon in the system tray which will be there in case you want to launch Norton Internet Security anytime.

Soon after you install and run the Norton Internet security, we recommend that you run the Live Update immediately to get the latest virus definitions.

The live update is quick and easy, just click the “Run Liveupdate” link and it will update to the latest product and virus definitions if you are connected to Internet.

I checked the settings panel to see what all features I can control as a user, here are some highlights of what i find is important:

• Compressed file scan support
• Microsoft Office Automatic Scan
• Rootkits and Stealth items scan
• Heuristic Protection
• Tracking cookies scan
• Schedule Idle time scans
• Ability to set number of threads for scan
• Ability to add exclusion for scan
• Norton Insight based cloud scanning
• Set scan performance profiles based on digital signatures
• Real time protection from Spyware
• Email Scanning

• Instant messenger scanning
• Intrusion prevention

• Norton Safe-web support
• CPU / Memory / Performance Information – good to monitor if your PC is slow
• Idle time optimization
• Proxy settings

All in all the features of the product are very impressive and wholesome when it comes to security.

I also tested how well it scans the computer, so I ran a full system scan on my PC to see what all it detects.

Symantec has been listening to its users, and this year the company delivers a slimmed-down and faster Norton Internet Security 2009. The suite of tools packs in the kinds of features people want most in an Internet security suite including some forward-looking technology. Almost all the security vendors have recognized the changing threat landscape and have rethought traditional protection. We especially like the Insight feature, which identifies "trusted" files and applications and doesn't waste time rescanning and rescanning them unless there's been a change. No other product does this. The redesigned logic behind Norton Internet Security clearly shows in CNET performance testing: it is faster and considerably lighter than last year's version, and even some standalone 2009 antivirus applications. And Norton continues to win awards in third-party effectiveness testing. Lagging behind, though, is Symantec's technical support. While Norton users now have free telephone support, Symantec still doesn't provide enough of a knowledgebase, or even an adequate user's manual. Once again, this year it emphasizes its premium services a bit too much. That said, Norton Internet Security 2009 presents a remarkable transformation of a product and is worth a second look.
