Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Norton AntiVirus 2002 retains the strengths that make it one of the best antivirus products on the market--low demands on system resources coupled with impressive strength against incoming and outgoing viruses, worms and other malware. Fully compatible with Windows XP, NAV 2002 sports a revised and much-simplified interface and it integrates itself into Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer as a small toolbar with a drop-down menu that launches a virus scan on your system or connects to information on Symantec's Web site.
The program largely runs itself. By default, infected files are repaired automatically without alerts to users--a pop-up box on the Windows taskbar tray informs you when an update has been completed. An optional plug-in scans Microsoft Office 2000 and XP files on opening. Virus definitions are updated automatically via the excellent LiveUpdate (which now uses "micro" definition files that supplement existing files and don't require huge downloads). Curiously, NAV 2002 still doesn't scan ZIP files, something that rival products have been able to do for some time now.
With the rise of e-mail worms and Trojan horses, just scanning incoming mail is no longer enough, so Norton now also scans outgoing mail to prevent your system from sending worms to everyone in your address book. Another new feature is Script Blocking, which promises to block script-based viruses, such as the "I Love You" worm. Existing NAV users might not feel the urge to upgrade but if you're new to the antivirus game or upgrading to Windows XP you should consider Norton AntiVirus 2002. --Roger Gann
Manufacturer's Description
Norton AntiVirus lets you quarantine infected files, easily get help with viruses directly from Symantec researchers and automatically protects you against viruses as well as malicious ActiveX and Java applets. Quarantine an infected file and it's safe to store on your computer without fear of spreading the virus.The new Scan and Deliver wizard makes it easy to send quarantined and other suspicious files to Symantec for evaluation. Bloodhound technology uses advanced heuristic logic to 'sniff-out' and eliminate new viruses even without updated virus definitions. As always, Norton AntiVirus can run constantly in the background to keep your computer safe from viruses that might come in from e-mail attachments, Internet downloads, floppy diskettes, software CDs or a network. And, it can be scheduled to automatically retrieve new anti-virus definitions from Symantec as often as once a week.

Simply the Best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Norton AntiVirus 2002 (CD-ROM)
I bought Norton Anti-Virus 2002 as I had got a virus. A friend informed me that Norton had detected it in an email I sent to her. I uninstalled McAfee (which had not detected it even though I had regularly updated it), and installed Norton. Norton cleaned the virus. It was so easy. The user interface is easy for all levels of users. Norton does the job. Excellent.

A MUST HAVE,
By A Customer
This review is from: Norton AntiVirus 2002 (CD-ROM)
This is a "must have" program. With online automatic updates for the virus definitions, e-mail protection and active scanning for viruses, this one program no-one should be without. Yes there are other virus scanners on the market, but Norton is simply the best. Got a virus the system does not know, then you can send it away and let the virus killers sort it out for you. So easy to use your grandmother could set it up.

XP users beware,
By A Customer
This review is from: Norton AntiVirus 2002 (CD-ROM)
I had a previous version of this that I happily ran on my Windows Me system. I bought this version to run with a Windows XP system. It is certainly better than my previous (2001) version. The user interface is much more user-friendly. Had I run it on my Me system I would have been very satisfied. But, I bought it for an upgrade to XP and I could not say I was satisfied: I would not say it was truly XP compatible.It took several days before I grasped that there was a problem with it. The stability of my system seemed to suffer because of it; added to that there were problems with the automatic virus updates and virus scans. Eventually I found out why. If one runs XP with just a single user account then things are straightforward. Having more than one user account is not so good news. So, as things stand, I believe there are two simple options if you want to use this with XP (which is probable why most people would buy it). Either only have one user account, or always run virus scans manually and disable automatic virus updates (do them manually). It is a great pity that this product is let done by the fact that it appears only partial compatible with XP, but at least one can work round it.
