With BitDefender breaking the ice and rushing to the final version, the race for the best antivirus for 2009 has begun. Symantec has recently rolled out the betas for Norton Antivirus 2010 and Norton Internet Security 2010. As new types of threats come out every day, security software developers make haste to providing fresh, smarter ways to keep users’ systems safe from the dangers lurking online.
The new beta for Norton Antivirus does not look too different from last year's issue and there are actually little aesthetic modifications. A keen eye, however, will discover new options and features such as the SONAR protection or Download Intelligence.
Installing the application on a Vista running 1.8GHz and 1.5MB of RAM system took a little over one minute (it took a while to get the trial serial number), which is quite an impressive time. The comfort of skipping system restart from the 2009 edition was preserved, allowing for a streamlined installation process.
Coming up with looks very similar to the 2009 edition, Norton Antivirus 2010 integrates some new helpers for the fight against malware. SONAR 2 technology and Download Insight (with its Quorum, the cloud-grounded, reputation-based intelligence) are designed to work to the benefit of both the novice and experienced user, combining community knowledge and behavioral security to cut down quickly and accurately the threats trying to make it on your system.
