Norman Antivirus and Antispyware 5.81 Overview

Norman Antivirus and Antispyware 5.81 is a solid product that suffers from some small quirks that hold it back from being a top 5 product. The scanning features that are included with these are great as far as detection of viruses and spyware are concerned.
Norman Antivirus and Antispyware 5.81 include the basic antivirus and antispyware scanning. Also included are quarantines for both, as well as task scheduling and email protection. The email protection is based on the protocol that is used for gathering and sending email rather than integrating with specific email programs. This allows scanning of email attachments to occur no matter what program you use to handle your email.
