Written by IT News on 1:35 PM

As of this week, the general public can test the beta versions of Norton Internet Security 2009 and Norton Antivirus 2009. Scientists from Symantec, developer of the Norton range of security solutions, say that substantial changes are made to the software so that it can work quickly without consumed a considerable amount of system resources.

Rowan Trollope, senior vice-president of consumer products, explains, "Based on customer feedback, we watched efficiency as a key element in this release. Norton 2009 products are designed to provide users of award-winning security they count on, while ensuring their Computers running quickly. Our goal is to create the fastest security product in the world, hands down.

Unlike NSI 2006, 2009 software version requires 300% less disk space. If necessary NIS 2006 about 300MB of disk space to function properly, NIS 2009 requires only 100MB. How could achieve such representation? Symantec's decision is that the issue is to eliminate some redundancies, which have to penetrate into the software, year after year.

NAV 2009 takes less time to perform a virus scan because previously scanned files that do not change over time is marked as "trusted files and ignored on future scans, this feature is named after Norton Insight. Media files such as music and films not changed, so there is no need to over and over again. Consumers should be warned that however, a few days ago, multimedia sisters Trojan were discovered in the wild.

I honestly doubt that NAV 2009 will be fooled by this, especially since malware Security database is updated every 15 minutes or function called Chip for updates. The idea behind this is that rather than provide a large update for a long period of time, the software will be able to provide better security by making small updates more often.
