My NIS2010 Review:

Installation
Installation on my Core2Quad Q6600 and 8Gb RAM took only 1 minute and 48 seconds to complete from start till end. End here meaning after logging in to my account as well. Final running product. Best part is, it does not require a REBOOT! Awesome! Running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

GUI
This is the nicest GUI i have seen. Although alot of getting used to it is required, but still it is straight forward and easy to catch up to its new style. Love the option to change the theme. Nice feature there. But more themes or custom themes option would have been better though.

Updates
I ran the LiveUpdate and it seems to be completed fast. I am using a 2MB line and it took me only +- 1minute to download and apply the updates.

Scans
QuickScan: took me only less than 2 minutes. WOW Factor!! But how much did it actually scan? Well i will find out more on that later on.
FullScan: Will try it overnight as i need to use it at the moment for some high processing and massive HDD utilisation.

Features
The best feature here i like is the Application Ratings. It seems to monitor the process i am running on and provides a result of it based on norton users. This is done via the Norton Network which i logged on. Really good as malware can be traced based on reports by other users. Network Security is a plus point for me as i use Wifi all the time. Another feature i want to highlight next is the Silent Mode. This you have to try it to find out. I was really curious to find out and i was shocked. It is a good thing btw. So give it a try and shock yourself.

Conclusion
I have given up on Norton a long time back, but after trying today the NIS2010, i am impressed. Lots of improvement and better usability. It runs so well and blends in with your programs quietly. It does not bother you like how others does. This is what i want exactly. There are many other features which is not mentioned but what is the point of telling it out? You should find out about it on your own. It is more fun to explore and learn rather than being spoon fed. Anyhow, well done norton. Keep it up.
