Norton 2011 BETA started

Norton 2011 BETA started

Thanks.

 

I did like the GUI of last year more.
But more important, I don't see any new feature.

So this is just a minor product update. New GUI, under the hood improvements. That is really a drawback of the companies with year-versions. Most updates are just a refreshed GUI and some small improvements. Basically like ESET going to 4.2 or avast going to 5.1 or whatever.

But Norton AntiVirus 2010 was really nice, so 2011 will also be good! (I don't care about suites, all bloatware (tuneup, backup, parental control, antispam and so on [nothing wrong with a firewall though].)

 

Stay calm the beta just started. Wait until more information is provided.

Thanks.

 

@ all

Here is a brief summary of some new features of NIS 2011. More info to come.

Thanks.

 

Time to test it now, but at present there is no impressive feature yet.

 

I'll test it also tonight, maybe we should compare testing results .

Thanks.

 

What were you expecting to be there that isn't. Its good that there is no bloat added. Norton is a more-focused company. This is the new Norton!

 

I am expecting Auto-USB scanning feature like KIS had...and many more.

Can't able to re-call at present

 

for quite some time now i may add.

Design looks good,lets see whats new in this gr8 suite...............

 

Not able to test now my country is restricted

@AvinashR and Legendkiller

Were you both able to download

 

Not too many interesting features that are new I'm afraid, but what the heck, it's Norton so how can I possibly not test it. I'll go through some serious malware and see how it acts (yes, MDL, NOT to see how many it "catches", I always only use it to see it's behavior), since everything will be run in the sandbox of COMODO anyway. With the bugfixes provided by COMODO, there shouldn't be a problem.

 

I was able to download the beta downloader, nothing more than that. Could someone please upload the full beta installer somewhere? Thank you


EDIT: NVM, I was able to get it working on a second try. Anyone tell me if you need the full installer and I'll upload it for you.

 

If it is legal to upload the BETA then please upload for me

Thank you raven211

 

NIS 2011 beta downloader
http://rapidshare.com/files/377038992/NISBetaDownloader.exe.html

I've been running the program from hours and it is working great here - on Windows 7 x32

It isn't that minor product update . Yes , innovative new feauture (in-the-Cloud) was introduced in version 2010 , now this and other technologies are improved . SONAR is stronger than ever.

 

LOL at you! People are having trouble to download the actual installation file - not the downloader itself, that's the easy part and activation code is eventually needed too.

 

Norton 2011 already started..wow
sum new features..new gui...
looks promising..
and Kaspersky has also started beta i guess
when will d oder vendors start dere's ?

 

How long did last years public beta last for? It'll be a while before I get a chance to install this.

 

I'll try to download the BETA hope it works

Thankx

 

If you visit Norton Beta Center , you'll see that this will last till 27th Septemter . Version 2011 final will be released in October this year.

 

Whoa...The BETA will last for 6 long months

 

It isn't long . I think the product may also be released in September.

 

Yeah u's right its not such a long period...Only 6 months

 

From my experience I know that the majority of vendors test their new products for about half an year . Moreoever , the can't release version 2011 in June of 2010 .

 

But that's a very less time, i guess.

Anyways lets see how efficient will it become...
