Editor Reviews

Norton Antivirus 2008 is the latest in Symantec’s series of computer infection protection. By being fully updatable, this program will keep your computer safe from the many new viruses that are discovered weekly. It also features spyware protection and email scanning to ensure your computer is free from spreading unwanted and malicious programs. Instant messages are also automatically scanned so the level of virus protection offered here is incredibly high.

A negative side of Norton Antivirus 2008 is that it might slow down older PCs with low memory, although this is true of all modern security software. It has complex scanning technology which is why it may reduce the performance of some older computers.

Norton Antivirus 2008 is a reliable tool which will protect your computer in the fight against viruses.
