Members' Rating

Poor

Typical price:£ 44

Verdict

Norton AntiVirus 2005 is a tenacious virus fighter that, given its premium price, should also -- but doesn't -- include a firewall. It's a good bet for Norton users who want to upgrade, though... Read Full Review.

Pros

  • New inbound port blocking to prevent worm intrusions
  • Faster preinstallation scans
  • Improved interface

Cons

  • Doesn't include a fully-fledged firewall
  • Real-time scanner doesn't look for spyware
