WHAT CAN NORTON ANTIVIRUS 2009 WITH ANTISPYWARE DO FOR ME?
Need more details? Norton Antivirus 2009 with Antispyware protects you not only against the most common online threats such as viruses, Trojan horses, worms and spyware, but also malicious software you probably have never heard of: rootkits, bots, browser exploits and the like. Its strength is really built upon two key technologies from Symantec:
1. The Norton™ Protection System provides multiple layers of protection that work together so they neutralize threats before they even reach you:
- SONAR, Symantec's malware detection technology based on application behavior;
- IPS (Enhanced Intrusion Protection System): dedicated protection engine for multimedia attacks;
- Browser exploits protection for Internet Explorer and Firefox: vulnerabilities in browsers can't be used to install spyware or cause crashes, for instance;
- Antibot protection: so hackers can't take control of your PC;
- Norton™ Recovery Tool to repair systems that have been deeply infected and help rebooting them.
2. Virus detection via signatures: Norton Antivirus 2009 with Antispyware compares application code to known malicious software and if there's a match, the application is promptly removed.
WHAT ARE THE MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE 2008 VERSION?
How does Norton Antivirus 2009 with Antispyware compare to the 2008 version? There are several important differences:
- Norton Antivirus 2009 with Antispyware is much lighter on system resources, both CPU (processor) and RAM (memory), while delivering shorter boot and scan times. Independent, third-party testing laboratory PassMark Software measured quick-scan times of just 33 seconds during evaluations in August 2008!
- Norton™ Insight: this new community intelligence-driven technology from Symantec contributes in a large part to the quicker scan times. It flags as 'trusted' common files that do not change over time, thus eliminating the need to scan them regularly. On the other hand, files that are more at risk at checked every time.
- The Norton™ Protection System ensures threats are neutralized before they even reach your computer.
- A new feature called Silent Mode temporarily suspends alerts and updates so your computer is never annoyingly slowed down during gaming, movie playback or presentations, for instance.
- Another new feature called Rapid Pulse Updates delivers protection updates to your computer every 5 to 15 minutes. More frequent updates that are smaller in size means your level of protection is always as current as possible and your computer's performance is less disrupted as they happen.
