Do you want to know, which antivirus software is better – Avast vs Norton? If yes, read on my detailed comparison.
Avast is a leading Internet security software, which is based on the real time protection and infection avoidance technology. It provides high level of protection for your personal data and hardware.
Norton is a very popular piece of software that many people use to protect their computers against viruses, spyware, Trojans and other malware that are often targeted at your computer on a daily basis.
Comparing these two antivirus program, I must say that Norton has wider capabilities. The biggest advantage that Norton has to offer comes from its antivirus interface, which is one of the first and still best I've ever seen on any PC. This is clearly an edge over not having an antivirus at all and is a clear advantage over competing antivirus pieces of software.
Norton Features:
Avast Antivirus not only offers high quality antivirus protection with multiple advanced features but also adds a firewall, a dictionary, a key logger, a safe driver manager, and so on. Avast also comes with the industry's only VirusBarrier utility which is another important option that helps protect your computer from malicious codes and other threats.
When you activate game mode, your computer will run in the highest security state, blocking pop-up windows, running background tasks, etc. Avast will basically do everything it can to ensure that your device is kept safe while you are online. This is particularly helpful if you use Internet for playing online games (adders, etc). It also has a "boot scan", which will scan the system for any errors and show them to you, allowing you to decide whether to repair or uninstall the virus.
Norton includes high quality, many upgrades, easy-to-use interface, wide ranging virus protection, malware detection and removal, user-friendly toolkit and so on. It offers a free live support forum that allows customers and other technology enthusiasts to speak with the developer and get questions answered about the product and installation.
The features that it provides to users are very comprehensive. It can detect all kinds of common viruses circulating around today such as: malware, adware, spyware, and the like. One other aspect of Norton that is great is its mobile security protection feature. Such protection gives users the ability to remotely monitor their systems, which is useful if you are at work and need to have access to your PC at all times, yet want to be able to take care of your computer in the event of an emergency.
