Norton Antivirus software started its business in 1991.
Previously, the software was very heavy and made the system very slow. Now the company
has improved the software and it has little impact on the system performance. There
are four versions of the antivirus, which include Basic, Standard, Deluxe, and
Premium. In this article, we will talk about the Basic version.
Cost
The cost of the basic version is lowest among all the four
versions. Users will also get the facility of Norton Identity Safe Password
Manager. The company provides protection to only one system and the license
expires after one year. So users have to update the license to enjoy the
services. There are no discounts available for the Basic version but for other versions,
the company provides discounts.
Set Up

version. Users have to purchase and install it on the system. The installation
of the software is easy as users have to perform a few clicks to install the
program. Users also get the options of certain browser extensions with the
installation of the software, which are Norton Safe Web and Norton Identity
Safe. These extensions come free with
all the packages and provide Norton online support.
Features of the Basic version
The interface of the software is stylish and contains many
options and controls. As soon as the software is launched, it provides the
details regarding the last scan along with the number of days left for the
expiry of the software. Users can either scan the whole system or can save a
custom scan according to which the software will scan the system.
If the system is facing an attack, which the software cannot
remove, then it uses Norton Power Eraser, which detects the threats and removes
it. Another option, which the users can use is Norton Insight, which scans all
the running process and notifies about any danger.
The default settings of the basic version are enough to
protect the system from various kinds of dangers. The software also provides Norton online support as there are many browser extensions that users can install.
