Norton Antivirus Basic Review

Norton Antivirus Basic is the first version of this virus. It was developed and released by NortonLifeLock as part of the Norton family of antivirus software products. It utilizes heuristic and signature algorithms to identify malicious viruses. This variant is not compatible with the Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) because it requires Service Pack 1 to properly execute. That is why it is strongly advised that you do not install this software on your machine if you want to keep on using your current OS.

Unlike other variants, this one does not have a utility to delete malware from your computer. Some antivirus software programs have added utility to remove malware like ransomware. However, Norton Anti Virus Basic does not have this feature so you will have to manually select the options to remove it. This is a slight problem, but if you think about the fact that the worm that causes the problem is supposed to be killed by an antivirus, then it is a trivial one.

The good thing about Norton Antivirus Basic is that it is very simple and easy to use. It has been designed in such a way that even people who are not familiar with computers will find it very easy to handle and operate. That is why there is no need for you to purchase this software if you don’t have any intentions of using it. It is also very cheap that you can buy a new subscription for less than forty dollars.

One great feature of this version of Norton Antivirus is its parental control utility that has been integrated into it. With this, children can limit the time that their kids can use the Internet and the sites they can visit. It also has a blacklist feature that helps you manage your files. You don’t have to manually add or remove files from the list. The program even lets you recover files that have been accidentally deleted.

Another good feature of Norton Antivirus Basic is its ability to detect and remove a wide variety of malware like spyware, adware, Trojans, worms and viruses. Unlike most antivirus programs that can only detect viruses and malware on Windows systems, this program can detect threats that may be hidden on different platforms and portable devices. It detects threats that run silently on a PC or tablet without any alerts. If you are an office employee then you would definitely be very happy to know that you can keep your work email folders safe from malware and other threats. You will definitely appreciate the anti-worms and malware that this antivirus has.

For those of you who are thinking of purchasing this product, there is a free version called Norton Antivirus Plus which is also free of charge. This version has only been made to detect threats that are associated with phishing scams, malware and viruses and therefore it doesn’t protect you against email hoaxes and other spam and unsolicited messages. While the free version is great, it is best to use the paid version to keep yourself protected from all malware and other threats. You can get the download link at the end of this article. Good luck in securing your data!
