Norton is trying to win the hearts from the geeks community with its newly launched Norton 2009 products - super light on resources and lighting fast to be installed. Over the pass few years, in our opinion, Norton failed to attract wave of computer users to use Norton like it did many many years ago. It seems that the onset of free anti-virus software from the “Triple A’s - AVG, Avast, Avira” manage to shy most of the consumers away from Norton and other subscription based anti-virus vendors. Can Norton be king again with its Norton 2009?
“Today’s Norton is now proven to be faster and stronger than ever before,” said Rowan Trollope senior vice president, Consumer Business, Symantec. “The products run light on the system, install in less than a minute and include industry first features like Norton Insight, which dramatically reduces the number of files that have to be scanned.”
“This is the highest quality consumer product we’ve ever shipped,” Trollope continued. “We’re especially pleased to be able to offer free support via web, email, chat or phone to every 2009 customer.”
