Utilizing
new, state-of-the-art technology, Norton AntiVirus 2004 provides
consumers with core protection against certain emerging non-virus
threats such as spyware and keystroke logging programs. Norton
AntiVirus 2004 empowers home and small office users to proactively
ward off privacy and security breeches that are often caused
by the presence of these non-virus threats.
The new expanded threat detection capabilities of Norton AntiVirus
2004 will include scans for programs on the user's computer
that can be used with malicious intent to compromise the security
of a system, spy on the user's private data, or track users'
online behavior. To help ensure maximum protection Norton AntiVirus
2004 will identify and block these threats at the point of entry
to the system, detecting the threats during scans of email and
instant message attachments, or during scheduled or on-demand
system scans.
The new, real-time compressed-file scanning feature prevents
users of file-exchange services from sharing or downloading
infected files even if those files are compressed. Additionally,
as a measure to protect users from pirated or counterfeit
software, Norton AntiVirus 2004 will also now include a product
activation component.
Like previous versions of the product, Norton AntiVirus 2004
will continue to help users achieve maximum protection with
minimum effort by automatically scanning all files for malicious
code, and automatically removing viruses, worms, and Trojan
horses without requiring user intervention. Protection is
further enhanced by Norton AntiVirus's consistent ability
to protect automatically against both inbound and outbound
online threats at all points of entry. Unlike many of its
competitors, Norton AntiVirus 2004 will also install out of
the box with all key protection settings and technologies
active by default, including real-time scanning, automatic
updating, and sophisticated heuristics.
To ensure Norton AntiVirus 2004 users' protection stays updated
against new online threats, Symantec's LiveUpdate will check
for new antivirus updates whenever the user is online. LiveUpdate
will then automatically and unobtrusively download updates
in the background to minimize disruptions, thus allowing users
to achieve the continued peace of mind that comes with knowing
their antivirus product is working at its best.
