Norton AntiVirus 2012 beta offers an early look at the next generation of Symantec's antivirus engine.
Despite the beta tag, the program installed smoothly and easily on our test system, and was immediately ready to go (no reboot required). A simpler interface means you can be running your first scan in just a couple of clicks. And performance wasn't too bad, either: nothing exceptional yet, but that's no surprise for a beta, and Norton say they're looking at optimising speeds in more than 50 areas, so we'd expect considerable improvements over time.
AntiVirus 2012 also offers comprehensive real time protection, even in this early release. Its Auto-Protect system runs constantly in the background, watching the files you access, detecting and removing threats before they can do any damage. Download Insight 2.0 uses data from other Norton users to warn you about dangerous files, and Symantec's SONAR behaviour monitoring has been enhanced to pick up even more malware.
The program has plenty of other features to offer, and the best way to explore these is via the settings dialog. You'll discover how you can schedule scans to run when your PC idle; check your emails and instant messages for viruses; and find controls to monitor your browser, network, application performance, and many more.
It's all surprisingly complete, then, and doesn't feel like a beta at all. But even if you're less lucky, and run into problems, then the new Autofix feature may be able to address them automatically. Just click Support > Get Support and it'll try to solve any issues it finds with your installation.
Please note, you need a product key to use the Norton AntiVirus 2012 beta. You must register first at http://us.norton.com/beta/register.jsp?pvid=nav2012beta and you'll receive a 14 day license code.. Symantec will provide a means to extend this before it runs out, but it may not be wise to do that; the program will have bugs, and you shouldn't rely on it for long-term protection. By all means take a look - it's impressive - but when you're done, we'd recommend you uninstall Norton AntiVirus 2012 and replace it with a finished, feature-complete product.
