The Norton AntiVirus 2010 Software for Windows from Symantec is a comprehensive virus protection suite, offering essential protection for Windows-based computer systems. Norton protects your system from the viruses, spyware programs, and bots that threaten to wreak havoc on unsuspecting computer systems.
The software uses the Norton Insight system to protect you from viruses that could be hiding in downloaded applications and files. Always on alert, the software proactively removes threats, stopping attacks before they can damage your system. Virus scans are performed with efficiency, as the software uses a real-time intelligence system to identify and scan only files that are at-risk for virus infection, reducing the amount of time it takes to scan your system.
