NEW! Phishing ProtectionThis new feature identifies and warns
you to prevent you from visiting phishing Web sites. Many of
these phishing Web sites only stay active for a short period of
time, so protection must also be immediate. When you visit Web
sites, Phishing Protection automatically checks the site against
a global "blocklist" of known phishing Web sites that is updated
in real time. Norton Internet Security also uses an advanced
analytical process to determine if the sites visited are
fraudulent based on specific characteristics. Phishing Protection
automatically identifies and blocks you from visiting a phishing
Web site, protecting you from online identity theft. Real time
protection provides immediate threat knowledge about these
transient, fraudulent sites.
NEW! Wireless intruder detection and blockingThis feature
identifies other computers on the same wireless network that are
trying to communicate with your computer. If you connected to a
public network such as a coffee shop or airport, the feature
automatically blocks these computers from connecting to your
computer. If you are connected to a private network, such as a
home or office, you can freely communicate with other computers
you own, so you can share files, printers, etc.
ENHANCED! Intrusion PreventionThis feature uses advanced
intrusion prevention technology to shield newly discovered
vulnerabilities in the Windows OS or popular program
applications. It prevents crimeware from using the network layer
to enter through security "holes" in the operating system and
commonly used programs.
This feature does not wait for specific virus, ware and other
threat signatures to be published before protecting the computer.
Instead, it shields the detected vulnerability and blocks attacks
attempting to enter a computer by exploiting this specific
security hole. Benefits
ENHANCED! Auto-Protect BlockingDetects and blocks incoming
viruses, ware and unwanted adware threats as they attempt to
install and execute on the system. Auto-Protect Blocking now
blocks both threats and high security risks from ever installing
on the system. The easy "install and forget" feature does not
require you to make constant security decisions to keep your
computer safe and protected.
ENHANCED! Threat Category Protection TechnologyEnhances the
threat prevention capabilities from protection against individual
worm threats to protection against entire categories of viruses,
worms, Trojan horses, and ware.
Rather than block individually identified threats, this feature
now matches individual but unknown threats to known worm and
virus families and blocks them from installing on the system
without requiring specific virus or worm signatures.
ENHANCED! Rootkit protectionPatent pending, advanced technology
that detects camoued threats at all system levels
(application, user mode, OS File system and Disk Level). Unlike
ware, rootkits are a new technique to stealth threats by
placing them deep in the operating system. These threats exhibit
no symptoms that are noticeable on the system. Symantec has
developed low-level inspection techniques that bypass normal
methods, allowing Norton software to detect and remove threats
that are invisible to Windows or other security software.
ENHANCED! Packer supportMany virus writers use packer tools to
package up a virus such that the virus becomes obfuscated and
difficult to detect. This feature will now focus on unpacking the
virus so the original signature can be detected.
ENHANCED! Smart FirewallThis feature automatically and
continuously configures itself to allow good programs to
communicate over the Internet while also automatically detecting
and blocking ware, viruses, worms and crimeware from trying to
communicate out over the Internet. These security decisions are
made without requiring you to take action. This feature uses
continuously updated security information that is automatically
delivered to your computer by Symantec Security Response.
Programs blocked from outbound communications may transmit
sensitive personal information, infect other computers, contain
botnet commands given by hackers controlling your computer
remotely.
ENHANCED! Scanning Capabilities
* Preinstall Scan detects and cleans ware, viruses and worms
on an already infected system. The enhanced pre-install scan now
detects and removes high-risk ware before installation.
* QuickScan runs invisibly after latest receipt of virus
definitions to help ensure that your computer is fully protected
against even the newest threats. QuickScan has now expanded to
search for other areas on the system such as "My Documents" and
other areas of common infection.
* Full Scan now includes a foreground and background throttling
mode. The background throttling mode performs the scan using less
processing power so users can continue working on their system
without major performance impacts.
