Norton is easy to use and could be controlled with a few clicks. Norton ups the ante of protection by replacing infected files with its original versions if possible.

Summary

Just like all the top selling anti-virus software being reviewed, more advanced options are only available thru higher priced versions or add-ons. Norton however, still comes pricier compared to the other anti-virus software in our list. On the good side, Norton does bring solid value for your money with excellent protection, trouble free surfing and a whole lot of features designed to keep you out of trouble.  The ability to use these anti-virus software on three computers could also offset some of the initial costs of installing the software.
