Norton Internet Security 2013 v20.3.1.22 (60-day)

Norton Internet Security 2013 is the next generation of Symantec's security suite.

There
are no major changes this time around - at least, not yet, and not that
we've spotted. The most significant and obvious tweaks have been made
to the interface. The style is similar to the previous edition, but it's
been optimised for touch (and if you install the package on Windows 8,
can now be controlled via a Metro app). Support for hardware
acceleration should improve its responsiveness, too.

The program
does also provide improvements in protection, although they're mostly
out of sight. The Insight file reputation database is now updated more
rapidly, for instance; Insight technology has been incorporated into the
firewall to "improve the ability to detect and block malicious network
activity"; SONAR now works in Safe Mode to detect more threats via their
behaviour; and Internet Security 2013 can work with new Windows 8
technology which allows it to launch earlier in the boot process, so
better protecting you from rootkits, malicious drivers and similar
low-level threats.

And in a relatively minor (though still
useful) tweak, Norton Internet Security 2013 actually downloads and
installs Norton Power Eraser for you. And as a result, if a scan
completes, and you follow the "If you think there are still risks, click
here" link, you're not left to sort things out yourself: you're able to
launch Norton Power Eraser with a click to (hopefully) find and remove
any particularly stubborn threats.

The other addition this time
is what Symantec call "Bandwidth Monitoring", which they say "will help
consumers avoid costly data overage fees by limiting non-critical
updates on bandwidth sensitive networks". This seems to be represented
by a new setting (Settings > Network > Network Security Settings
> Network Cost Awareness) which allows you to set a policy to govern
how the program uses a particular network connection. Options are "No
Limit" (do what you want), "No Traffic" (don't use this connection at
all), or "Economy": if this is some expensive 3G connection, say, Norton
Internet Security 2013 will use it only to download the most critical
program and virus definition updates.

Put it all together and the
new release represents a very significant improvement for Windows 8
users, more of a gently incremental change for everybody else.

Note that this is a special 60-day extended trial build of Norton Internet Security 2013.

Build 20.3.1 adds these fixes/changes:

- Resolved issue where Norton Autofix appears after patch installation, showing that one item has been fixed
- Fixed a few UI issues for the uninstall pages
-
Corrected an issue with Online Vault where customers who logged into
Norton Account during install had their passwords automatically
autofilled before they explicitly indicated via the Norton Toolbar that
they wished to use the linked Online Vault
