Protection Against Viruses
and Spyware:
Norton Internet Security 2004
includes Norton AntiVirus 2004, which
introduces expanded threat detection. This new
technology identifies certain emerging non-virus
threats such as spyware, adware, and keystroke
logging programs. These rogue applications can
compromise system security, pry into confidential
data, and track online behavior.
Norton AntiVirus 2004 also
proactively protects users of file-exchange services
such as peer-to-peer networks by scanning for
viruses in compressed file archives. Norton
AntiVirus scans both incoming and outgoing email and
automatically removes viruses, worms, and Trojan
horse infections as well as viruses hidden in email
and instant message attachments. In addition, worm
and script-blocking technologies automatically
defend users against known and unknown threats
without the need for virus definitions. As a result,
Norton AntiVirus will effectively protect Norton
Internet Security 2004 users against an expansive
range of malicious online code.
Filtering Unwanted Email:
Norton Internet Security 2004 also
includes the new Norton AntiSpam 2004, which
automatically detects and filters out unwanted
commercial email, or spam, at the desktop. Spam is a
growing threat both to productivity and security. It
can clog email systems and often proliferates online
scams. Norton AntiSpam 2004 works with any standard
POP3 email program and will integrate automatically
with the latest versions of Microsoft Outlook,
Outlook Express, and Eudora to efficiently filter
and eliminate incoming spam directly from the user's
email in-box. Norton AntiSpam 2004 offers multiple
filtering layers to minimize the false positives
that typically plague other spam-fighting products.
As a result, users will be able to continue to
receive the email they want while unwanted messages
are filtered out.
Securing Users On Wireless
Networks:
Norton Internet Security 2004
includes Norton Personal Firewall 2004 as
well. This new version of Norton Personal Firewall
introduces innovative technology to help laptop
users get immediate protection from online threats
regardless of the network to which they connect.
When a laptop user connects his or her PC to a new
or previously saved network, Norton Personal
Firewall 2004 will adjust firewall settings
accordingly. This technology ensures that users who
connect to multiple networks in multiple locations
enjoy appropriate online protection wherever they
go. Norton Personal Firewall 2004 also includes a
new usability component that gives users control of
firewall settings from the convenience of their
Internet Explorer Web browser.
Norton Personal Firewall features
robust intrusion detection technology to thwart
serious threats such as Bugbear, Nimda, and Code
Red. This system will add another full layer of
security to the perimeter protection of the
firewall. The intrusion detection system will
inspect the actual content of the Internet traffic,
automatically and effectively blocking Internet
attacks.
Norton Internet Security 2004 also
includes powerful privacy protection technology.
This feature prevents confidential information from
being sent without user authorization to unsecured
Web sites or through email, Microsoft Office
attachments, and instant messaging services. For
additional security, Norton Internet Security
provides tamper-proof password protection that
prevents security settings from being turned off
manually or by a Trojan horse virus.
Blocking Inappropriate Web
Content:
Norton Internet Security 2004 also
helps parents keep their children safe from
inappropriate material while online. Norton Parental
Control blocks access to newsgroups and Web sites
that may not be suitable for children. For increased
flexibility, Norton Parental Control will enable
users to set up different Internet access privileges
for each child and adult using the PC.
Symantec's automatic LiveUpdate
ensures that all products in the suite are kept
current with recent protection updates and
technologies to guard against the latest Internet
threats. In addition, to protect users from pirated
or counterfeit software, Norton Internet Security
2004 now includes a product activation component. As
a result, Norton Internet Security 2004 is designed
to provide users with maximum online protection
while requiring minimum user intervention.
