Cons
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed.""The solution can improve the security modules.""Having a dashboard that shows the different functions of Norton Security Premium can convince end users that the software is more than just an antivirus solution. This product offers several features, but end users think that it's just one out of the box solution, because the different functions are not explained in detail.""It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data.""Sometimes the program is too complex.""During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved.""The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem.""Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."

More Norton Security Premium [EOL] Cons →

"I would like to see an improved user interface and some automation.""VirusTotal is hard to understand because you need to know Google Docs to create queries, and it doesn't have documentation for that."

    Overview

    The more connected you are and the more your personal information is out there, the more security you need. Do you watch videos or shop on your tablet? Use your smartphone to pay bills or check your balances? Your personal information is in multiple places. Keep it private across all of them. Norton Security Premium provides one easy solution to protect your computers, smartphones and tablets, even on multiple operating systems: Windows, Mac, Android and iOS — and Windows 10. Plus, only Norton shows you if that Android app you’re about to download will impact your battery life, has potential privacy risks or contains malware, before you even install it from Google Play.

    VirusTotal is a comprehensive online service that analyzes files and URLs to detect malware and other malicious content. It provides a centralized platform for users to scan suspicious files and URLs using multiple antivirus engines and various other tools. With its vast database of antivirus signatures and behavioral analysis capabilities, VirusTotal offers a powerful solution for identifying and mitigating potential threats.

    One of the key features of VirusTotal is its ability to scan files and URLs using more than 70 antivirus engines simultaneously. This multi-engine approach enhances the detection rate and reduces the chances of false positives. Users can simply upload a file or enter a URL to initiate the scanning process, and within seconds, they receive a detailed report highlighting any potential threats detected by the antivirus engines.

    In addition to antivirus scanning, VirusTotal also provides other analysis tools such as file and URL reputation checks, file behavior analysis, and static analysis. These tools help users gain deeper insights into the nature of the file or URL being analyzed, allowing them to make informed decisions about its safety.

    VirusTotal's extensive database of antivirus signatures and its continuous updates ensure that users have access to the latest threat intelligence. This enables the service to detect even the most recent and sophisticated malware strains. Furthermore, VirusTotal allows users to contribute to its database by submitting suspicious files, thereby enhancing the overall security ecosystem.

    The user-friendly interface of VirusTotal makes it accessible to both technical and non-technical users. The scan results are presented in a clear and concise manner, making it easy for users to interpret and take appropriate actions. Additionally, VirusTotal offers an API that allows developers to integrate its scanning capabilities into their own applications or workflows.
