These threats are either detected and blocked before they get to your computer or removed entirely if you have already been infected prior to installing the program. The antivirus protection covers you for email and instant messages, which probably represent most of your online communications. How does Norton Antivirus 2008 compare to the 2007 version? There are several differences. One of the most important ones is that Norton Antivirus has become faster, addressing previous negative reviews of the product emphasizing its slow performance and the fact it was a system ‘hog’. Symantec began working on these issues on the 2007 version thanks to a dedicated performance team and in this latest release, results really do show: the user interface is now 22% faster, a quick scan completes in 39% less time and memory consumption has been reduced by 69%. Quite an achievement! Norton Antivirus 2008 also adds a couple of new features to the 2007 version: • Network Mapping gives you a view of your home network at all times. All devices connected to it are visible, including wireless ones. Each device’s security level is continuously monitored and suggestions can be made to improve it. • Norton Antivirus 2008 also uses Symantec’s SONAR technology (Symantec Online Network for Advanced Response) which detects malicious programs based on how they ‘behave’ on your computer. This is in addition to the more common signature-based protection which compares applications on your system to known malware. • There’s also a new functionality Symantec calls One-Click Support, allowing users to solve common issues with the Auto-Fix feature directly from the interface and to contact support technicians by phone, email or live chat. Are you convinced already? Guarantee your protection against online threats with top-of-the-line security software. Order Norton Antivirus 2008 Now!
