Good test :)

Download Insight is literally solid except in such instances where undetected samples manage to run unless SONAR took down.

I think it's a time for them to implement lock down like Hardening Mode from Avast since capable for inexperienced users.

Thanks @safe1st for testing one of my favourites, it did quite well also. :)

Yes, Norton is one of my favourites too :)

I would like to see few samples run offline with Norton

Nice test And Norton online protection is very good.

Sounds good. Test on offline/ no connection

Everyone, do remember that this test was done with SONAR on aggressive(I'm glad someone bothered to test it out. Thanks for the video @safe1st)
So, the default setting could be way different than what we saw.

Yes could be different result. But, its only change 1 setting. I dont think if that make beginner or medium user confuse about it...

Thanks everyone
Have a great Sunday! :)

really good protection but high cpu usage version 22.XX.XX
thanks buddy for review :)

Norton and Symantec are not as CPU and Ram heavy as it used to. Its now very fast and light.

Hi

I see there's a firewall setting. So is Norton Security Standard or Norton Security Deluxe being used for the test? Or both also have firewall and Sandbox?

According review by pcmag Norton Security Deluxe has a sandbox so is there one in the Standard edition as well?

Symantec Norton Security Deluxe (2017)

Thanks
It will also be available in the standard edition.
