Norton AntiVirus 2008 is the premier antivirus program, the standard that other antivirus programs are compared against. From its release in 1990 for MS-DOS, Norton AntiVirus has constantly been improved and updated to catch any and all threats that show up. NAV 2008 first detects and removes any existing infections. Then, as you operate your computer, the real-time protection scans every incoming email and each and every file you execute, constantly looking for viruses and other malware. It even looks inside zip files and other archives. You can set it to clean files without even prompting you or other computer users, perfect for not confusing computer newbies. It even cleans floppies to protect against boot sector viruses.

The protection stays updated by Symantec, with 100% of viruses and worms being caught, according to av-test.org. Renewal of your subscription is a snap, too, or just get two years to start with.

Additionally, spyware can't communicate back to its creator, and virus infected emails from your computer are stopped, by a small built-in firewall, because, as you may know, it's your address book the viruses will be using, and the last thing you need to to mail an important client a virus.

Or get Norton Antivirus bundeled in Norton Internet Security and get full protection that you can use on 3 PCs with one license.
