Norton antivirus 2005 – long on dependability, NAV's (Norton antivirus 2005) strengths continue to be its well-designed interface and impressive virus-blocking performance history

 

 

Norton antivirus 2005 can be relied upon, regardless of whether the virus has been contracted via a floppy disk, an Internet download, a CD-ROM drive, your office network, or an e-mail message attachment.

Symantec's always dependable Norton 2005 (NAV) is designed to protect your computer from every imaginable type of virus.

Norton antivirus 2005 scans for and removes the more advanced Macro viruses (including Word and Office varieties), normal viruses as well as polymorphic viruses. Norton 2005 will even scan up to one level deep within compressed files.

A welcome addition to antivirus 2005 is the QuickScan feature automatically searches for viruses following all updates.

After Norton antivirus 2005 performs its quick pre-set-up scan, it will install itself, then downloads the latest virus definitions and program files. It finishes up by running a comprehensive post-setup scan. Here you encounter about a 45 minute or so period when you will not be able to use your computer because the system scan tends to create a major demand for resources.

While on the subject of less than positive aspects of antivirus 2005, its worm blocker does not come up to matching the level of protection offered in other competing antivirus packages with firewall protection.

In summary, Norton 2005 takes less time to set up and configure than in past versions.

Norton’s antivirus 2005, with its clean, well-organized interface remains one of the best in the antivirus market. Norton AntiVirus 2005 scans and cleans inbound and outbound email as well as instant-messenger attachments.

This year's version adds Norton Internet Worm Protection. This is a lightweight firewall feature that blocks nasty pests such as the Blaster and Sasser worms, including unsolicited inbound traffic.

Unlike a full-on firewall, however, Worm Protection won't block outbound traffic.
