The aditor's reviews

The good:Norton AntiVirus 2009 has a leaner footprint, improved speed, white listing, and other technologies to mark clean files as trusted, and free technical support.Norton 2009 is 75% smaller file-size than McAfee, and uses 74% less memory than Kaspersky, bothNorton's nearest competitors in each respected area. Norton AntiVirus 2009 is head and shoulders above its competition with their new, slimmer and slicker Norton Antivirus.

The bad: Despite its free telephone support, Norton AntiVirus 2009 lacks adequate online technical support and, intentional or not, it drives users to its paid technical support services.

The bottom line:Norton AntiVirus 2009 hits all the right security notes, and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks, though for some, technical support may continue to frustrate.

With their 2008 version last year, Norton moved towards constant program updates & free upgrades while you have a current subscription. So, when next year's new version comes out you can upgrade at no additional cost as long as you have a current Norton Subscription.

Also new in the Norton AntiVirus 2009 version is the Pulse Updates feature that automatically downloads new Virus Definitions every 5-15 minutes. This new feature gives you the most up-to-date protection of any antivirus program available.
