2007 3 User Edition 10725608 Norton Internet Security 2007
automatically protects you from the latest online threats including
spyware, viruses, worms, phishing Web sites, and hackers, before
they can cause harm. Norton Internet Security is the #1 Internet
security suite protecting users from spyware, viruses and other
harmful attacks (Source: The NPD Group /U.S. Point of Sale
Information, June 2000–July 2006.). For 2007, Norton Internet
Security comes with newly developed technology for phishing
protection and detection and blocking of wireless intruders.
~The purchase of this product contains licenses for 3
individual users.
NEW! Phishing Protection—This new feature identifies and
warns you to prevent you from visiting phishing Web sites. Many of
these phishing Web sites only stay active for a short period of
time, so protection must also be immediate. When you visit Web
sites, Phishing Protection automatically checks the site against a
global "blocklist" of known phishing Web sites that is updated in
real time. Norton Internet Security also uses an advanced
analytical process to determine if the sites visited are
fraudulent based on specific characteristics. Phishing Protection
automatically identifies and blocks you from visiting a phishing
Web site, protecting you from online identity theft. Real time
protection provides immediate threat knowledge about these
transient, fraudulent sites.
NEW! Wireless intruder detection and blocking—This
feature identifies other computers on the same wireless network
that are trying to communicate with your computer. If you
connected to a public network such as a coffee shop or airport,
the feature automatically blocks these computers from connecting
to your computer. If you are connected to a private network, such
as a home or office, you can freely communicate with other
computers you own, so you can share files, printers, etc.
ENHANCED! Intrusion Prevention—This feature uses
advanced intrusion prevention technology to shield newly
discovered vulnerabilities in the Windows OS or popular program
applications. It prevents crimeware from using the network layer
to enter through security "holes" in the operating system and
commonly used programs.
This feature does not wait for specific virus, spyware and
other threat signatures to be published before protecting the
computer. Instead, it shields the detected vulnerability and
blocks attacks attempting to enter a computer by exploiting this
specific security hole. Benefits
ENHANCED! Auto-Protect Blocking—Detects and blocks
incoming viruses, spyware and unwanted adware threats as they
attempt to install and execute on the system. Auto-Protect
Blocking now blocks both threats and high security risks from ever
installing on the system. The easy "install and forget" feature
does not require you to make constant security decisions to keep
your computer safe and protected.
ENHANCED! Threat Category Protection Technology—Enhances
the threat prevention capabilities from protection against
individual worm threats to protection against entire categories of
viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and spyware.
Rather than block individually identified threats, this feature
now matches individual but unknown threats to known worm and virus
families and blocks them from installing on the system without
requiring specific virus or worm signatures.
ENHANCED! Rootkit protection—Patent pending, advanced
technology that detects camouflaged threats at all system levels
(application, user mode, OS File system and Disk Level). Unlike
spyware, rootkits are a new technique to stealth threats by
placing them deep in the operating system. These threats exhibit
no symptoms that are noticeable on the system. Symantec has
developed low-level inspection techniques that bypass normal
methods, allowing Norton software to detect and remove threats
that are invisible to Windows or other security software.
ENHANCED! Packer support—Many virus writers use packer
tools to package up a virus such that the virus becomes obfuscated
and difficult to detect. This feature will now focus on unpacking
the virus so the original signature can be detected.
ENHANCED! Smart Firewall—This feature automatically and
continuously configures itself to allow good programs to
communicate over the Internet while also automatically detecting
and blocking spyware, viruses, worms and crimeware from trying to
communicate out over the Internet. These security decisions are
made without requiring you to take action. This feature uses
continuously updated security information that is automatically
delivered to your computer by Symantec Security Response. Programs
blocked from outbound communications may transmit sensitive
personal information, infect other computers, contain botnet
commands given by hackers controlling your computer remotely.
ENHANCED! Scanning Capabilities
- Preinstall Scan detects and cleans spyware, viruses
and worms on an already infected system. The enhanced
pre-install scan now detects and removes high-risk spyware
before installation.
- QuickScan runs invisibly after latest receipt of
virus definitions to help ensure that your computer is fully
protected against even the newest threats. QuickScan has now
expanded to search for other areas on the system such as "My
Documents" and other areas of common infection.
- Full Scan now includes a foreground and background
throttling mode. The background throttling mode performs the
scan using less processing power so users can continue working
on their system without major performance impacts.
