Norton Internet Security 2010 (beta)

Last year, Norton Internet Security 2009 made quite an impression. Symantec rewrote the suite from the ground up for improved performance anc gave the Ul a substantial overhaul. Judg¬ing by the free public beta, Norton Inter¬net Security 2010 focuses on keeping the product's impact small while enhancing malware detection and giving users better access to useful information.

Symantec has long been working to keep unnecessary minutiae out of the user's face. The 2010 beta goes a step further and moves much of its detailed reporting to a new loca¬tion on the back of the main window. Click "Flip Screen" and the main window visibly turns over to show a chart of CPU or mem¬ory usage and a visual timeline of events like scans and detections. Another new interface element. Vulnerability Protection, brings up a list of applications with known vulnerabili¬ties, and Norton Insight checks all the pro¬grams on your system against Symantec's database and identifies trusted programs.

Also, the SONAR 2 reputation-based technology plus standard signature-based detection gives NIS supercharged malware ability, setting new records on our tests for malware removal and detection. Aside from the bummer of adding 31 percent to the boot time, NIS 2010 beta is really an impressive product.

PROS: Record-breakingly effective antimalware protection. Accurate, simple spam filter. Full-featured parental controls through OnlineFamily.Norton. Flexible user interface. Small perfor¬mance impact. Scary details hidden, yet easily accessible if wanted.

CONS: Increases boot time more than the Norton 2009 suites.
