Norton Internet Security

When it comes to PC security and protection, the first name that often comes to mind is Norton. And rightly so, the name is a pioneer in the antivirus industry and in 2011, the Norton Internet Security suite goes higher to give its clients one of the best multifaceted security solutions in the market.

Norton Internet Security Features

• Antispyware - The Norton Internet Security integrates perfectly with Firefox and Internet Explorer and passed all of our anti-spyware and anti-phishing tests. It also blocks spam, rootkits and malware coming from the internet. You can expect a seamless online surfing experience without getting anxious about malicious codes getting into your PC. It has the proprietary Safe Web link scanner that attaches color coded security status icons to search engine results and also scans links to your social media network.
• Antivirus - Using advanced heuristics, the software proactively blocks suspicious executable codes with its proprietary SONAR (Symantec Online Network for Advanced Reponse) 3 technology, even before their footprints get updated in its virus signature database. And using both methods, the software achieved one of the highest detection rates in our tests.
• Firewall - Even the default set-up is powerful and flexible enough to take the place of your default Windows firewall. But you can apply advance rules in its protection settings while having the flexibility to roll back to its default settings.
• It comes with parental controls that allow you to monitor what your kids are accessing online while blocking objectionable content or limited web access using time allocations. Its Norton Identity Safe feature encrypts your usernames and passwords whenever you do online shopping and banking.
