Security against emerging threats

Norton AntiVirus 2007 and Internet Security 2007 give consumers advanced protection against viruses, spyware and latest online dangers

Symantec Corp launched Norton AntiVirus 2007 and Norton Internet Security 2007, security applications that have been enhanced to help users to be ready against online threats.

Norton AntiVirus 2007 give consumers advanced protection against viruses, spyware and related risks. Norton Internet Security 2007 is a security suite that leverages the antivirus and antispyware protection of Norton AntiVirus plus provides safeguards against the latest online dangers by providing sophisticated new phishing protection, an enhanced firewall, and defense against software vulnerabilities.

To meet the threat posed by virus writers who are rapidly creating variations of existing malicious code rather than developing entirely new threats, Norton AntiVirus 2007 is delivering new technology that blocks attacks from entire worm and virus families without requiring individual signatures for each new threat.

"Over the past year, the Internet threat landscape has taken a dramatic turn.  Large, widespread virus outbreaks are being replaced by groups of higher frequency, low-visibility attacks aimed at financial gain rather than notoriety.  In addition, security vulnerabilities in operating systems and applications are being discovered and exploited more rapidly than ever," said David Hall, Regional Consumer Product Marketing Manager, Symantec Corporation. 

The suggested retail price of Norton AntiVirus 2007 is Rs 1,899 (includes one-year subscription to Symantec's protection updates). The suggested retail price for Norton Internet Security 2007 is Rs 2,899 (includes one-year subscription to Symantec's protection updates). Current users of Symantec products (online users) may upgrade to Norton AntiVirus 2007 or Norton Internet Security 2007 for an estimated retail price of Rs 1,899 and Rs 2,305 respectively.
