Review:

After redesigning and revamping the product Norton has made significant improvement over last years software.

Installation was a breeze, and there was no hang ups whatsoever. In just a couple minutes we were up and running, and we didn't even need to restart the computer.

Now, Symantec has been listening to its users, and this year the company delivers a slimmed-down and faster Norton Antivirus 2010…We especially like the Insight feature, which identifies "trusted" files and applications and doesn't waste time rescanning them unless there's been a change. A new feature which we also really like is Norton's pulse updates which updates every 5-15 minutes to detect and eliminate new threats.

In terms of Nortons interface this year's redesign is much cleaner and more sophisticated. With straight forward tabs that are easy to customize we found no real downside to it.

Norton Antivirus 2010 is at the top of the charts when it comes to scanning and catching viruses, posting impressive results in many third party tests; it sits at the top along with programs like Kaspersky and McAfee Antivirus.

As far as support goes, tech support calls are now free. Online support covers topics like problems with live update, error messages virus detection and removal and much more.

Overall Norton 2010 is a fantastic product and the revamping over previous years really hit home.

Pros:
