Manufacturer's Description
With fast and continuous defence against all types of malicious threats, Norton Antivirus 2009 keeps your system protected without slowing you down. Rapid pulse updates every 5 to 15 minutes and an innovative new architecture dramatically improve performance and help to ensure that you're protected.

Norton Antivirus stays out of your way while you work or play. It automatically suspends all non critical tasks and alerts when you're enjoying games and movies. Real-time SONAR (Symantec Online Network for Advanced Response) technology detects emerging threats without the need for traditional updates or signature-based definitions. And while Web-based attacks may be the single fastest growing type of online threat, Symantec's patent-pending Browser Protection lets you surf the Internet with protection against browser exploits that can be picked up on infected Web sites.

Working quickly and quietly in the background, Norton Antivirus requires little memory or system resources. New Norton Insight utilizes extensive online intelligence to target only processes at risk, resulting in faster, fewer, shorter scans. And the new Norton Protection System employs a multilayered set of security technologies that work in concert to detect, identify, and block attacks.

Customer Reviews

excellent
norton reborn. you will never use free anti virus software after using this. the set and forget slogan applies totally to norton, so forget their previous bloated incarnations. highly recommended.

Zone Alarm Users BEWARE!
If you have Zone Alarm installed on your machine then be warned that this product will not work with it. Unfortunately you are only told this when you read the small print when the box arrives. Symantec database claims that there will be an update but no date has been specified.

If you don't want to have to revert to a standard Windows firewall then you'll either need to buy a complete package from the likes of Symantec, or find a different antivirus solution - such as continue with Norton 2008.

Excellent Value
Set up in minutes, good instructions, does everything silently in the background. Very pleased with this product.
