Modernized tidy Battleship

Norton Security with backup incorporates all previous tools under a sleek surface.
Symantec has his old proven Antivirushaudegen missed the necessary modernization.
Bad versions were never in time but lost it in the jungle of the bundles offered
and even the menus were very overloaded.

It is advisable to choose the product key via email,
goes faster than the paper box that already contains only one card with code.
The 126 MB of software can be downloaded in the form after entering the Keys.
Prior registration with name and e-mail is compulsory - like now with all my come under AV packages.

Not only the software, the profile on the Web Administration at Norton is exemplary lean and self-explanatory.
This is very useful in order to keep an overview of what is license for that device in use.
In addition, you can use any individually solved by a device, reinstall renew.

The installation itself takes less than 5 minutes and requires no reboot unexpectedly.
Noticeable impact on system performance or extended boot time is not noticed.
So far there were no incompatibilities with Windows 8.1.

Under the heading Security antivirus features are included.
Here can perform scans / schedule, launch updates and subcomponents Enable / Disable.
The full scan takes compared to other virus scanners quite long.
20 minutes for the SSD and 2 hours for 2 terabytes of media data on magnetic disks.
However, since the number of scanned files some was significantly higher than other scanners,
Norton examined by default already more than others and is not per se more slowly.

In our identity can make anti-phishing settings and to activate the Identity Safe for password storage.
Allows you to install Norton in the browser plug-ins, you will be on web pages with password entries
Please annoyed for my taste a bit too often with pop-ups, but to activate the Identity Safe.

The point backup.
One can choose the backup to make a drive or online store in Norton, with the license you get 25GB,
more you can get on further opening the wallet.
All important basic functions to perform and schedule are shown available and understandable.
In addition to a complete backup can be individual files to restore.

On the PC / notebook you beside antivirus / firewall, identity protection and backup also
Disk Optimizer, data garbage collector and StartManager the previous system tools onboard.
The first two tools you have to be careful to click on it and it is optimized and deleted without further demand.
But personal highlight for me is the Start Manager.
The lists very clearly on all programs that are ensconced in the boot.
Besides being able to prevent the launch of delaying, also details were provided as the use of resources and how widespread the program is.

But the most powerful feature is hidden under the little inconspicuous button settings above.
This shows that Norton Security is not a pretty painted small patrol boat,
but also has the big guns of the battleship still below deck.
Again, try a clarity was hinzubekommen,
but the wealth of configuration options and sub-menus provide only experienced users shining eyes.

Kudos to the inconspicuous Help Buttons in the form of framed question mark.
Although you need Internet access, but the assistance provided creates a balancing act of richness and of course,
from which other products may be cut three or four wheels. And all in German.

Conclusion. There are certainly one or the other edge, the grind and make round leaves,
Symantec Norton Security for me but here currently created the most compelling and powerful package.
With 10 licenses and versions for PC / notebook / tablet / smartphone, it is also comprehensive and very attractively priced.
On my PC any case the package remains top.
