Version: Norton AntiVirus 2010 17.0
Pros: I can't judge what is good about this yet except when it came with my laptop, it would update as much as possible, which is good.
Cons: Everything else about this program is not good. And it was strange how this person I saw said this is a lot better than Avast! It might be, but it's not close to being the best or one of the best anti-viruses to offer, especially of its price and of its huge file size. Interesting enough, Norton has been a nightmare for me, especially on the laptop. My mom would complain about the constant slowing, the constant messages, and they were all from Norton.
I dislike their new additions to the program and I disliked the old versions too. I had a bloated bar on my Internet Explorer, I had so many processes running, and so much memory being used by Norton. The scans take too long and may freeze here and there. It bloats up the school computer so typing a report and web browsing would take extremely long.
I must have gotten a bad computer even though it's new, or it's just Norton being going bad on my laptop once again. This program is only known because if its name, not of its features. I am disappointed once again.

Version: Norton AntiVirus 2010 17.0
Pros: Nice looking interface and easy to use.
Cons: Norton came with my computer pre installed. Norton slows my computer down while in fullscan. It also slows down my boot up and boot down time and I am using 1 GB of memory. You can get better anti virus for free like Avast.

Version: Norton AntiVirus 2010 17.0
Pros: Clean interface. Can detect viruses and other malicious programs.
Cons: The biggest downfall of this antivirus is its scanning engine. It scan very slow! It uses a large amount of my memory RAM.
AVG and Avast is a SMARTER CHOICE.
