    Norton Antivirus 2008 is a full-featured antivirus and antispyware product. It includes several options that are commonly passed over by other suites while still leaving many out that would be useful. The Norton scanning engine is one of the most complete on the market, but suffers from issues with system resource usage and overzealous integration with your computer that can cause freezing or simple hanging application.
    Ease of Use:

    Norton Antivirus 2008 is very easy to use. It comes with a default configuration that is sufficient to protect most home computer systems. It integrates with the start bar with an icon that is large and easy to spot. The icon also includes a way to tell if your system is protected or needs intervention from the user.
    http://di1.shopping.com/images1/pi/9f/a2/39/44903845-300x300-0-0_Symantec+Norton+Antivirus+2008+5+User.jpg
    Effectiveness:

    Being VB100%, W.C.L 1 and 2, as well as ICSA certified means that Norton Antivirus 2008 is equipped to handle all of your virus scanning needs. The scanner has proven to 3 independent labs that it has the ability to detect and remove viruses and variants of all viruses that the Norton virus engine was tested against.

    The antispyware capabilities of Norton Antivirus 2008 were less effective than the virus scanner. It missed all of our tests while finding only a single tracking cookie on our whole test system.

    We noticed that Norton Antivirus still suffers from some pretty significant issues with the program eating up resources and just slowing down our test machine overall. This is something to keep in mind while making a decision on an antivirus solution.

    Updates:

    As of 2008, Norton Antivirus updates its virus signatures as needed. The averages on the web have mentioned update time frames between once a day and 3 times a day. We experienced updates once a day during our testing period. This is a great improvement over the old system of looking for and installing updates only once a week.

    Feature Set:

    Norton Antivirus 2008 includes an antispyware scanner, Instant Messenger protection for MSN, Yahoo, AIM, and Trillian, as well as the ability to lock down program settings to help prevent other users on the computer from changing your settings. Symantec has still neglected to include parental controls with Norton Antivirus as well.

    Ease of Installation:

    While the installation of Norton Antivirus 2008 was rather long, it didnt require much intervention. It did require that we sign up for a Symantec account in order to complete the install. This account is used for downloading updates as well as keeping track of updates and other support information.

    One additional thing to note is that uninstalling Norton Antivirus did not remove everything that was installed. There are several registry entries and directories left behind as well as the LiveUpdate program that has to be removed separately.

    Help/Support:

    Symantec has always been hit on their help and support by reviewers. This fine tradition doesnt end here as there seems to have been no changes since our Internet Security Suite review of Norton Internet Security. While they still offer free online chat and email support, their phone support option is still $9.95 per incident. Beyond this, they estimate a 30 minute wait time. We expect more for paid support options.

    The live chat option is also much less useful than we initially thought. It requires Internet Explorer to function requiring an additional product install in order to get support. Once the application is installed, you still have to wait for a rep to become available. We stopped waiting after 25 minutes. For most people, this would probably be a bit more time than expected to wait for support.

    McAfee is an industry leader in computer protection and VirusScan is their #1 defense against viruses. This software comes with a ScriptStopper to prevent viruses from propagating from one computer to another via email, and WormStopper.

    Some downsides to the program are that it doesnt provide instant message protection, P2P/file sharing protection or registry startup protection. Check out the Gold product if youre looking for these features.

    Ease of Use:

    If you use the default settings, setup is a breeze. The default settings provide very good protection against viruses, Trojans, worms, malicious ActiveX controls and Java applets.

    The SecurityCenter has several tabs besides the VirusScan tab. There is one for Personal Firewall+, Privacy Service and SpamKiller. These are other programs offered by McAfee.

    Effectiveness:

    VirusScan boasts one of the best virus detection records. The software received the VB100% award for 2007, the ICSA award for 2007 and passed both level 1& 2 Checkmarks from West Coast Labs.

    Updates:

    McAfee VirusScan 9.0 automatically downloads updated virus definitions from the Internet on a regular basis. Staying up to date will dramatically decrease any possibility that a virus will infect your computer. On Average, McAfee comes out with new virus definitions on a daily basis.

    You will have to register and login to get updates making the process longer than it needs be.

    Feature Set:

    McAfee VirusScan offers a rich list of features. You can set VirusScan to scan your computer at a preprogrammed scheduled time. The program also scans for spyware and adware.

    You cant add several tasks to the Scheduled Scan. It would be great to be able to scan all files once a month and only program files weekly or any other tasks you would like to set up.

    McAfee has an Antivirus Emergency Response Team that continually monitors the worldwide virus activities to provide you with the utmost safety. The always-on protection guards against viruses, spyware and other Internet threats that may enter your PC via e-mail, instant message attachments, Internet downloads, and web browsing.

    Ease of Installation:

    We didnt encounter any problems during the installation process.

    Help/Support:

    McAfee has plenty of help options, including documentation, email and phone support. We were disappointed with their email response time – it took 5 days to respond and they didnt answer all of our questions, hence the low rating.

    Features:
    6-in-1 Prevention and Protection

    * Safe Search, Safe Surf. McAfee® SiteAdvisor™ adds ratings to websites to help you avoid online dangers.
    * Home License Subscription Service. Automatically delivers the latest software features and threat updates and lets you easily manage security subscriptions for all your PCs.

    * Stops Hackers. Protects and conceals your computer from hackers.

    * Improves PC Health. Cleans clutter off your computer so it stays healthy and secure.

    Additional Benefits

    * Always On, Always Protecting. 24/7 virus and threat protection from McAfee® Avert® Labs continuously monitors worldwide virus activities and provides rapid anti-virus protection and removal solutions.

    Sent is a small console utility intended for sending “net send” messages within local area networks using command line.
     

    Like WinSent, the Sent utility allows to send short text messages using computer network name, user login, nickname. Sends broadcast messages using workgroup or domain name. Sent is capable to send message at once to several recipients.

    This utility can be used:

    • as a “net send” command replacement in Windows versions, that have no such command (Vista, 98, 95)
    • when the Messenger Service is off (you are using WinSent, for example)
    • just as an improved “net send” command with additional features.

    For message transmission the Sent uses full implementation of the protocol, that is used for message exchange by software products like Microsoft WinPopup, Windows NT Messenger Service (net send command), etc. Therefore the Sent is fully compatible with it.
     
    Sent can send messages only and cant receive the messages. To receive the message sent with Sent you can use one of the following software products: WinSent, Windows NT Messenger Service (net send), Microsoft Winpopup.

    Sent works with any versions of Windows (95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista) including Windows Vista, where Messenger Service and net send command are missing. 

    WinSent Innocenti version 2.0.2.320

    Free LAN messenger. An easy-to-use program, intended for instant messaging within local area networks. Fully compatible with WinPopup and Windows NT Messenger Service (net send), that is capable of receiving messages and incapable of sending a message.
