It is important to me that not only did I feel good data security, this must also be tasächlich available; sure you can probably but unfortunately never be. Now I have again initially for one year alone.
In addition to a peripheral protection from Trojans, viruses and spyware, the program should run fast and scan as well - which succeeds relatively well, a real-time protection is also essential, especially in online activities. A good configurable firewall prevents (hopefully) malicious accesses to the PC.
For PC's etc. a program package is such but now indispensable. I have collected in the past with McAfee very good experience, but also had Norton installed on a PC a few years ago and was happy with it. Which manufacturer the current No. 1 now or not, everyone must choose for yourself (regular testing of the programs give a clue). As a brand manufacturer with regular virus update and good performance to do with Norton certainly nothing wrong. Due to the size of the package Norton receives advance ever solid 5 points - but since you have only one year of coverage, follow-up costs have to be planned, but always with current software that identifies new threats.
Major impressions in shorthand:
+ Easy installation - my old McAfee product has been uninstalled, the new software has been deployed
+ Running on my Windows 8 machines properly and quietly in the background
+ Installation after activation / registration relatively easily and quickly
+ Circumferential protection for PC, Mac, Smartphone and Tablet
+ Even if no longer quite current PC's still sufficient performance
+ No brake system - scans with acceptable times, for example, time-controlled possible.
+ Lost devices (eg. B. smartphone) can be located
+ Quite clear and easy to understand - that I know comparatively already McAfee
+ Reasonable price for multiple devices (provided they all be used in the household!)
+/- For only one year - then again follow-up costs (as most paid providers also)
+/- 1-year subscription is the installation and activation, so no matter whether you have already been included up to five devices in the protection
+/- After registration ready
- No real media present when a system is already infected, there is probably a problem here, as long as no antivirus program was uploaded.
The Norton Security (PC, Mac, Android, iOS) (incidentally, without typical year, z. B. 2015) is a relative worry-free package. The menu is clearly designed and easy to understand. Automatic updates are preset, so that even laymen can have peace of mind quickly. Who wants bolted to the settings around a bit. Whether iOS devices (no contact with the Windows world have etc.) require protection, everyone needs to evaluate itself .... On my Mac I have not installed Norton.
The price / performance ratio is not objectionable, provided that you have appropriate equipment 5 in the household - therefore (scarce) 5 points.
