Hi all,
I have seen many people don't know which antivirus will suits their need and what is the most common feature that makes the specific security suite a perfect fit for you. So, here I am just giving my short review on Norton Security Premium after a week of usage. It may help some people find the suitable security suite.
Last used AV - Emsisoft Antimalware
Currently Using - Norton Security Premium (or Deluxe, doesn't matter if talking about Windows PC only)
Power User Level - 4/5 (This level decides how much I know about AV and their tweaks in Settings)
First thing I noticed different from Emsisoft is there are lot of settings you can play with in Norton. Scan time for Quick Scan is comparable on both. But Norton Insight feature gives Norton an edge over Emsisoft. It is a very useful feature that use the leverages of large Norton community. Also, I liked their graphical report which is missing in Emsisoft though it is also a deal breaking feature.
However, I felt that Norton LiveUpdates are little slow in processing the update and get installed. But, if get installed in background, it should not be a decision making mark. Moreover, you have cloud storage and Password Manager which is a plus if you get all in one subscription though I am not using them for now. You have peformance Optimiser Tools which is good. In short, with Norton installation on my PC, I can uninstall 3-4 software that will not be useful as basic functionality of all is present in Norton whereas Emsisoft is just a security suite with no addon tools.
This is just a real life review which doesn't include the technical aspects of both. You can search on google if you want to compare them. This is just random stuff I thought and have posted it.
Pardon me for my english usage here as this is just a casual review
