Norton Internet Security 2013 For 90 days
Notoriously slow to respond to trends, the consumer security field is surprisingly not taking Windows 8 lying down. Norton and many of its competitors are optimizing their suites for Microsoft's new operating system ahead of its release, and Norton is combining that strategy with efforts to protect you on social networks, protection against scams and other social engineering attacks, and a bolstered firewall.
Installation
Norton has gone to great lengths to improve its installer over the past three years, and it finally figured out how to bring you a feature we'd been long requesting: the restartless install. It may sound minor to longtime PC fans, but it makes a huge difference in your workflow. It's what people expect from mobile, so why not on Windows?
Once you run the installer, the program is ready to operate in about a minute -- impressively fast, and doubly so considering past performance. The installation process is also the first time that you will interact with Quorum, Norton's behavior-based detection engine. You'll be asked to participate by sending anonymous data to Symantec's cloud. Opting out of the data submission, according to Symantec, will not affect your security.
Running the trial of Norton also requires registering the program. Like many programs, Norton used to force your default browser to open and take you to the company's registration Web site. However, version numbers have largely gone the way of the mobile app. That is, just as mobile app version numbers aren't readily exposed, neither are they readily apparent in Norton, either. The idea is that, like Chrome's and Firefox's rapid-release cycles, new features will be pushed to Norton more often than once a year, and updates will be seamless.
Will it happen? That's hard to say, given the Windows security business' glacial pace of improvement. But it's certainly a step in the right direction that Norton competitors would do well to emulate.
Overall, Norton's installation experience was fast and hassle-free, with a minimum of configuration options, which all appeared necessary.
