Norton Internet Security
2009, the award-winning PC security program from Symantec, offers automatic,
comprehensive protection against viruses, spyware, phishing, and hackers. Now
offering improved speed and performance, it remains one of the more popular
security programs available. Startup and scan times have been decreased, and you
get an always-on firewall that monitors traffic both in and out of your
computer. Its web site authentication technology even warns you if you navigate
to a known "phishing" site, which can look like the real thing to the untrained
eye.
Stop unwanted web traffic Internet
Security 2009's most important feature is the two-way firewall, a crucial
feature not usually found in standalone anti-virus packages. Unlike the basic
firewall that comes with Windows XP, which
filters only inbound connections, Norton's firewall protects against both
inbound and outbound connections. For protection against constantly emerging
new threats, Norton now offers Rapid Pulse Updates, the download service that
provides new features, product updates, and threat advisories, which are
delivered every 5 to 15 minutes.
Protect your PC from viruses Internet
Security 2009 is designed to detect and remove spyware and viruses, block
worms, and locate potentially malicious rootkits, using the included AntiVirus
software. Integrated with the rest of Norton's security technologies, it can
start up with Windows and run in the background, preventing many types of
threats from ever damaging your system. It runs more efficiently than previous
versions, and the new recovery tool can attempt to repair infections on
compromised PCs.
New and additional features Internet
Security 2009 includes email and instant message scanning to protect against
infected attachments. Two layers of spyware protection are included. The
AntiVirus program blocks it from hijacking your computer, and the firewall
prohibits it from accessing the internet. Finally, the website inspection
feature can examine any site you browse to make sure it is not a fraudulent
site trying to lure you into entering sensitive personal
information. |
