Norton virus protection free download

Posted by admin on 19 Feb 2008 | Tagged as: Anti Virus, Antivirus, Norton

With hundreds of viruses being discovered almost every other day, it has certainly become quite necessary to install an effective antivirus security system on your computer. However, if the high cost of most of these security systems is preventing you from doing so, I will recommend that you try out the free options for the time being.

Now, there is certainly no dearth for free security software, but since the aim here is to select the most-effective security system, it would be better if you opt for Norton virus protection. Norton free security is counted amongst the best in the free category and as such you can always rely on it till the time you have the requisite funds for buying a fully functional, licensed copy of antivirus security software.

Norton virus protection free download is available on many websites, but I would recommend that you download it directly from Norton’s official Website. Downloading from other websites may work just as well for you, but since there is always the risk that the download may actually turn out to be a spyware or other type of unwanted program, it’s quite unwise to take unwanted risks. If however, you were somehow forced to download from third-party websites, I would recommend that you do so only from reputed websites and not from websites that you might never have heard of before.

Some experts believe that Norton virus protection free download is not worth it since it does not actually remove or delete viruses. However, I do not agree because what is more important is detection. Removing viruses is just about deleting suspect files from your computer, something that can easily be done manually. Just follow the link as might be displayed in the Norton scan results and you will easily be able to remove all types of viruses from your computer system. Using Norton virus protection free is as easy as that.

Having realized the importance of protecting your PC from viruses, worms and Trojans, you might have already made up your mind for installing computer security software on your computer. However, if lack of funds are acting as a deterrent, I would recommend that you do not feel disheartened and instead try out the free options that might be available.

The market may be flooded with all types of free stuff, but if you ask me I would say that you look no further than Norton security. It’s simply because no other free computer security software is as effective as Norton security free, especially when it comes to detecting malicious software codes. Norton free may not actually remove the viruses from your system, but since detection is something that is more essential and since detected viruses can easily be removed manually, I don’t have to think twice before recommending Norton security.

So, if you are willing to try out Norton free, I will recommend that you download the free software directly from Norton’s Website. I lay stress on this because many other dubious websites also claim to offer Norton security free and it’s quite difficult to determine whether the thing you are downloading is actually Norton free or just a spyware disguised as Norton. Some reputed sites do offer original Norton free, but since there is just too much risk, I will recommend that you take due care while downloading Norton security free from websites other than those managed and hosted by Norton.

To know more about Norton security free and to make the best possible use of this free software, I would recommend that you read user reviews and comments. For troubleshooting tips and techniques, you can visit forums and chat rooms, specifically dedicated for Norton security software products. If needed, you can also contact Norton’s customer support, either through mail or phone.

Delete Norton

Norton free antivirus is certainly quite effective when it comes to detecting viruses, worms, Trojans and other malicious software codes, but just like any other high-quality product, it too has certain shortcomings. The most common complaint is that Norton slows down the system, so much so that it becomes quite difficult to carry out even the simplest of tasks on your computer. This problem however can be ignored because more often than not the problem is due to the system configuration and not necessarily due to Norton.

In case, you are not too sure as to what exactly is making your system slow down, I would recommend that you delete Norton and see if it makes any difference. If deleting Norton does make a difference to your computer’s speed, then you can keep it that way, but in case you don’t see any significant improvements, I would suggest that you reinstall Norton and keep using it.

The other most common complaint is that Norton disrupts the ‘Automatic Update’ function in Windows based PCs. There is still no reliable evidence that can comprehensively prove this, but since there are just too many people claiming this, you can bet that there is certainly something wrong somewhere. To check for yourself, you just have to delete Norton, restart your computer and see if you are able to get the Automatic Updates. It’s always better to perform your own checks rather than blindly follow what others might be saying or recommending.

To completely delete Norton from your system, you just have to click on Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Norton and press on the Change/Remove button. After restarting your computer, you then just have to check whether the targeted problem got resolved on not. If not, then there is no reason as to why you should not reinstall Norton and keep using it for protecting your computer.

Norton free virus scan

Free computer security products are readily available on the Internet, but you just cannot rely on them because most of them are either ineffective or contain spywares and other malicious software codes. So, if you still feel like searching for an effective free antivirus, I would have to say that you probably never understood the meaning of the popular saying, “there are no free lunches”. However, if you just do not have the funds right now to purchase the licensed copy of an antivirus software, my personal recommendation would be that you go for Norton free virus scan.

Some experts argue that this tool can also be classified under the ineffective category since it only detects and does not actually disinfect or remove identified viruses. However, I personally do no agree with that because the fact is that when it comes to detecting malicious codes, no other free tool matches the effectiveness of Norton free virus scan.

“But, what about disinfecting and removing the detected items?” you might ask. Well, I am again tempted to remind you that there is a limit to things that you can get for free. That apart, I would like to tell you that removing detected items is a lot easier than actually identifying them in the first place. So, if you use Norton free, you can be sure that 90 percent of the job is already done and the only thing that remains is removal. This you can do easily by following the link of detected items as displayed in the results page of Norton free scan, selecting the suspect file and using SHIFT+DELETE.

Norton free virus scan is certainly not a replacement for a fully functional, licensed copy of antivirus software, but since it is completely free and probably the most effective amongst the free category, you can always rely on it for providing basic level protection. That’s the best way you can utilize this free antivirus tool.
