Norton Antivirus Product Support and Norton 360 Support

The best bit about Norton's Antivirus 2011 is that the recommended upgrade from any previous version is free, fast and quite simple. Norton Update Center also has the same applications for Norton Internet Security and Norton 360. Norton 2011 products are sold with multi-user licenses so that you can activate the antivirus on another system with the same product key. If your Norton product came preinstalled, then you will be able to use it on only one system until you purchase the subscription. There are also some problems that are commonly seen with the NAV installation. Auto Protect most often faces unexpected errors and the Scan Disk does create temporary subdirectories that are a bit difficult to remove even after uninstalling Norton.

The software also sees some conflicts with Netscape, most commonly a blocked messenger and much slower mail. Although the product description claims the antivirus is a lightweight 8 MB of memory, each virus definitions update alone uses up half that much. The core computer and networking protection features are intact in the Norton 2011, but you will face problems if you have multiple users working on your computer. For Norton on Windows XP, each user gets a separate temporary directory, which makes debugging on different users a bit of a half baked job. On the upside, the boot able recovery tool automatically sets up a USB based bootable device for Netbooks which can come in handy. It also does the same for CD and DVD based devices.

Symantec Antivirus has some utilities that remove temporary files created by Scan Disk and online support for much improved virus definitions. Users who pay for the complete utility may find this something of a letdown. Users of Norton Antivirus 4.0 have also reported computer freeze-ups. Going to the task manager then would create an error message. Norton AV 2011 on Windows 7 faces trouble enabling Intrusion Protection and Product Protection. The only cause of this irregularity is due to partitioning the disk on your computer. There are also some internet and browser security options lacking in the newest Norton AV, but these can be easily substituted. With Norton's core security functionality, getting the add-on applications should be a breeze.

What you do get with Norton technical support for Norton Antivirus is all third party security benchmarks to go with your PC security. The comparatively smoother installation is exposed to such in-built utilities as Quorum, Symantec's cloud protection, a web interface for your desktop, and improved management for web based features. With fewer configuration options when you install Norton Antivirus 2011, it should be easy to work with the two windows for computer and network protection. The crowd sourced Norton Community Watch and better navigation adds up the 'must have' on any Antivirus for Norton AV 2011.
