By Mike Williams

First appearing back in 1991, Norton AntiVirus is one of the most long-lived security packages around. These days there’s Norton software for PCs, Macs and mobile devices, covering security, backup, search, optimisation and more.

The modern Norton AntiVirus Basic is mostly about the fundamentals. It boasts detection of known threats, intelligent behaviour monitoring and an excellent file reputation service to spot new dangers, and one of the best antiphishing filters you’ll find anywhere.

There are a few worthwhile extras, like the Norton Identity Safe password manager, but the package isn’t trying to win you over with the length of its feature list.

The price is relatively high at an initial £25 ($31) for a one computer, one-year licence, and £30 ($38) a year after that.
