By Tom Cat TOP 100 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
I've probably tried more Anti-virus software packages than Tiger Woods has had clubs, and Norton has never been at the top of my list for favourable experiences. However, since we tend to use this software on a cycle, I plucked up the courage to order it and, surprise surprise, its been absolutely brilliant from day one. The difference to the package even a couple of years ago is amazing - it would appear Symantec have completely re-written this software.

From the moment you put the CD in the drive, everything is taken care of and this installed within 5/10 max (plus 5 minutes for online updates). After the computer re-started, the boot-up was noticeable quicker and the interface itself loads faster than any other we've used, aside from AVG. Once the installation was complete, no other input is required and the software just minds it own business. After our first scan, it picked up a Trojan that McAffee never picked up, and deleting that has improved performance.

The main interface is simpler and less clunky. Every kind of status imaginable is there, from Nortons CPU usage to how long its been since it ran an update. Some of the best features I would say are those that correct the failings of other software; The virus-scan only performs in the background when the computer is idle (not being used), and when in use, performs a 'light' scan. When any threat is found, it just deletes and gives you the information in the lower right of the screen.

This was installed on an Intel Celeron based computer, which says it all given how slow they are!

norton antivirus 12 July 2010
If all you want is an anti virus then I guess this fits the bill, but I bought it with Norton internet security and it promptly wiped the antivirus from my computer - the former being an upgrade! So all I can say is read the small print and for the few quid extra the internet security is, probably worth buying that instead. It has slowed my computer down on start up and on the occasional website but I put up with the initial slower start up for the protection the internet security brings.

By simon gurney HALL OF FAME
Norton AntiVirus 2010 is a revelation, addressing the many problems of earlier bloatware norton releases. Having had many problems with Norton products in the past, mainly the hit on system resources, but also the less than comprehensive protection, having had some machines badly infected while supposedly full protected by norton products, AntiVirus 2010 so far has exceeded my expectations, although it remains to be seen how good the protection will be in the long term.
AntiVirus 2010 is a very well designed piece of software, its hard to find software which will be up and running as quickly, although best installed on a clean machine, removing existing anti-virus products. The install requires almost no input from the user, and indeed if your looking for an idiot-proof internet security this would seem to fit the bill, needing almost no intervention.
AntiVirus 2010 does an impressive job of delivering a lot of powerful features but the demands on the computer are remarkably light, to prove the point there is even a real time display of cpu usage and what percentage of that is norton. Indeed on vista it runs much faster than any other anti-virus impressively so.
The silent mode is a superb feature, and very flexible. When running in silent mode AntiVirus 2010 will run in the background as efficiently as possible, it wont start scans or any other tasks and it wont display any notifications or pop-ups, this is run automatically while watching movies or games full screen, or can be turned on for a predetermined period of time, or configured to run whenever a certain program starts, and end to annoying background virus scans at inopportune moments when working or watching. Great feature.
Insight protection, which is supposed to be a big part in improving the speed of threat detection, allows for intelligent file recognition, but in terms of fine tuning tool it does not give the depth of information as some other similar tools, allowing for close inspection of suspicious files and processes. The insight settings are somewhat confusingly accessible as application ratings on the main console, rather than the more logical insight protection details.
The main console is fairly straightforward but the ignore and monitor options available for each setting are extremely obscure in terms of what they are actually doing, and seem best ignored.
Its worth noting that Antivirus 2010 does not include a firewall, which is an essential part of internet security, but there is a smart firewall as part of the Norton Internet Security 2010, which also includes all the features of Antivirus 2010.
AntiVirus 2010 is a very comprehensive all-in one product which delivers a great range of features at impressive speed, successfully addressing one of nortons big downfalls of previous versions, it remains to be seen how well it will actually protect a machine against potential threats.
