Symantec offered today via their download servers Norton Internet Security 2011 and Norton Antivirus 2011 v18.1.0.37 Final RTM. Like I wrote before regarding NIS 2009, same positive words are (even more!) valid for today’s released Norton 2011 AV products: “without any hesitation I highly recommend Norton Internet Security 2011 to all people looking for a top-notch, reliable, easy to use all-in-one security suite.” Of course I also highly recommend NAV 2011: like NIS, great product for an acceptable price.

I installed NIS 2011 on top of my NIS 2010 , the upgrade was no problem, all previous 2010 settings remained unaltered after the upgrade. The upgrade was accomplished within 1 minute, reboot was required.
