Also in the new version well - despite new user

Before I tested several other security suites, but was disappointed by either the detection rate of the virus scanner, the speed or the stability of the programs.

For me it is important that

- My PC is not ausgebemst noticeably, ie file access and program starts are not significantly slowed,

- The program is stable, ie no crashes, the PC "freezes" or cause blue screens,

- And the recognition rate of Vienscanners is high.

These 3 requirements are met Norton IS fully with me.

I use the software on 5 computers with completely different configurations (from the office computer via the notebook until SpielePC) without problems.

The update to the 2012 version is free for registered users within the period of use.
Just after the update search (right click on the NortonIcon in the tray and "Check for new versions" - download, install, reboot, ready)

The new features of the 2012 version differ in my opinion only Maginal from the previous version:

The surface was "verschlimmbessert". I found them in advance clearly informative and user-friendly. Individuele settings are more difficult to find, because hidden behind a number of menu items. Apparently Norton wants to prevent inexperienced users "adjust" too much.

New is the so-called. "Norton Management" with which you manage licenses, that may transfer to other computers. I could this function only after a zealous search found (click on "Manage" (= "flower symbol")) in the gadget, then click on "Getting Started", then download and install, then registration and administration of licenses via a web interface) Then gets the PC has been installed on the License a name and then appear on the registration page. Later this License can be deactivated and activated on another PC. Undoubtedly an advantage over the previous version, in which the activation could pick again without any major problems and is far better than other manufacturers, which can be moved by the activation only via a telephone support to unlock the License again. However, it remains to be seen whether the Lizensverwaltung also the practical test.

Highlight is the new bandwidth management, virus definitions in the UMTS network (for cost reasons) only loads when they are important. This saves data volume for those who do not have Flash.

Otherwise, there will be "many improvements" in the virus detection, which I can not check.

For me, this program is a strong buy recommendation in the 2012 version. It now runs on different computers for a few days crash-free and I feel no loss of speed compared to the previous.
