Norton AntiVirus 2011 is the antivirus software program you need if you are looking for top notch protection. Up-to-the minute protection ensures that these threats are stopped in their tracks before they can harm your system. This program goes that extra mile for consumers though. Not only does it detect these threats, it automatically eliminates them so your personal information cannot be stolen.
This antivirus software takes this protection even further. It looks at applications which are slowing your computer down. Once an application is identified, you are notified so you can make necessary changes to improve performance. Files are checked as they come in to see how long they have been in use. If a file is new, it receives extra scrutiny. This catches cyber criminals before they can do extensive damage.
The Norton Control Center is a helpful tool in the fight again this type of crime. All information is contained on one screen. This makes it much easier to see where problems are occurring so you can decide on how best to fix them. E-mails and instant messaging are included in this protection. Many programs do not offer this feature.

StarReviews’ Norton AntiVirus 2011 Favorite Feature:
After reviewing this program, we are able to definitively state that the protection against junk mail is superior. Somehow my children would get on my e-mail and do something. This would result in me sending junk e-mails to anyone in my address book which would often offend others. With this program, I no longer have to worry about that happening. On a different note, although its not really much of a feature, we overly appreciated the faster scan times that come with Norton AntiVirus 2011. We ran a quick scan in what seemed like just a couple minutes and a full scan was done in the time it would take you to fix lunch. This is very impressive and means that you don't have to limit yourself to just a scan or two a week because of the time it takes to run them. You can now run a scan a day or even more to ensure that your computer is fully protected at all times and won't have to spend all day doing it in the process. This very well could be the deciding factor as to where Norton ends up on our list this year as it adds convenience, saves time, and is our favorite feature. If you are looking for something that runs quick and lag free, then this is your best bet.

The Norton AntiVirus 2011 Experience:
After using another antivirus software program for a number of years, I opted to try Norton AntiVirus as it came free with my new laptop. During the trial period, I never had any problems with viruses or other threats. For this reason, when my trial period ended, I opted to purchase the program for the other three computers in our home.
Upon installing the program on the two systems that had other antivirus software, I ran a scan on each. I was shocked to see how many items had been missed. This included cookies, Trojans and more. I love the fact that it checks e-mails and instant messages before they are sent so I know my friends are safe too. I haven’t had a single complaint about something they received from me since downloading this product. Furthermore, it scans incoming files to ensure my computer will not be picking up something that has been sent by a friend.
As of the time of this writing, I have found no problems with Norton AntiVirus 2011. When reading reviews from others who had used the product, some complained of installation problems but I had no issues in this area whatsoever.
