Norton Internet Security 2011

Ever since the programmers at Norton went back to the drawing board, Symantec has been on a roll with their Antivirus and Internet Security Suites. Two years since they revamped and reprogrammed the application's security structure, Norton as unassumingly progressed in terms of quality and performance.  

When it comes to product installation, there is no other security suite that matches the speed of the Norton Antivirus and Internet Security Suite. The whole installation takes approximately a minute, and moreover, it doesn't require a restart unlike most other security suites. What's surprising is the level of detail that goes into each new release year after year. Each new iteration of Norton feels a lot easier to use than its predecessor. If you take a closer look, however, almost all features remain the same, and only the layout has been reshuffled and changed to a certain extent. That's what a redesigned interface can do to a user's perception. Moreover, eliminating what is not of importance, such as the CPU and Norton usage meter seen in version 2010 allows you to focus on more important aspects of the security suite. While most aspects of the interface remain the same, the 2011 version features a world map at the bottom that displays a live feed of the cyber-threat activity that Norton has blocked in the last 24 hours. Even though it's not of great importance, it fills up an otherwise static and wasted space.
