Norton AntiVirus 2010

Norton AntiVirus™ 2010 is the newest edition of the world's most popular antivirus and anti-spyware tool available for home PC environments.

The 2010 version has been redesigned for improved speed and performance, while delivering world-class protection against all types of malicious software. Norton AntiVirus 2010 includes anti-bot, anti-Trojan and anti-worm protection for increased online security.

On top of that, Symantec releases virus definition updates every 5 to 15 minutes and Norton AntiVirus 2010 takes advantage of that and updates itself to the current version every 15 minutes delivering the best possible level of protection against newly created viruses.

Norton AntiVirus 2010 runs in a silent mode when you play games or watch movies, automatically detecting your current computer usage level. You won't be bothered with annoying notifications or confirmation windows that often come up unexpectedly while you work or watch movies.

This antivirus software protects against online attacks, Web browser hijacking and detects fake or bogus websites that have been created to hijack your computer or steal personal information while you browse the Internet.

This version of NAV 2010 loads in just a couple of seconds and is a way faster then its predecessors. It also requires as little as 8MB of RAM to load fully, so you won't even notice it's running even on slower machines with less memory installed. Once run, Norton AntiVirus runs silently in the background protecting all your online doings, scanning opened files and downloaded programs delivering the virus protection you deserve.

A new addition to this edition of NAV is the Norton™ Insight technology, that contributes to shorter and quicker file system scans. It works the following way: when starting your first file scan, Norton collects information about your operating system and files installed creating a database if safe files that have been verified as clean. When you next time run your virus scan, Norton will omit the files classified as safe and scan only those files at risk. This can vastly reduce the scan time, and on a normal machine full system scan will finish in less than 3 minutes.

Norton AntiVirus 2010 comes with a built-in help system that allows you to connect to a remote agent who can assist you via live chat or email. This service is free to use for every customer. In several locations there is also a free telephone support included in the standard subscription fee.

Every valid license subscription of Norton AntiVirus 2010 includes free updates, and automatic minor upgrades that are downloaded from Symantec server.

NAV 2010 blocks and removes the Conficker Worm. If you want to stay protected against the Conficker Worm, please consider buying Norton AntiVirus or Symantec's Norton 360 and Norton Internet Security.
