Symantec released Norton Internet Security 2008

29th August 2007

Symantec has announced new versions of the products Norton Internet Security and Norton AntiVirus for computer security.
The package offers a number of new technologies designed to protect users, from previously unknown types of attacks as well. The system Browser Defender, in particular, allows blocking attacks like drive-by downloads, during which malicious modules are inserted into a computer without the knowledge of its owner or when visiting some of the sites. Norton System Identity Safe, in its turn, protects the personal information when filling in various forms in the Internet. In addition, developers draw attention to improved support and increased performance.
Products Norton Internet Security 2008 and Norton AntiVirus 2008 have Sonar technology (abbreviated from Symantec Online Network for Advanced Response). The system protects the computer against the so-called attacks Zero-Day, that is, against exploits that use yet unpatched bugs, and also against malicious programs, which have not been recorded in the anti-virus database. The work of Sonar is based on the analysis of changes in the system.
Packages Norton Internet Security 2008 and Norton AntiVirus 2008 has already gone on slae. Norton AntiVirus 2008 with a license for one user, and one year subscription for updates is valued $40. The price of Norton Internet Security 2008 with a license for three users is $70.
