At an event held in Mumbai today, Symantec announced the launch of "Norton AntiVirus 2007" and "Norton Internet Security 2007".
The company says that both these products are leading security applications that have been enhanced in technology and performance to protect users from today's online threats.
"Norton AntiVirus 2007" is a proven and trusted solution that gives consumers advanced protection against viruses, spyware, and related risks. On the other hand, "Norton Internet Security 2007" is a powerful security suite that includes the antivirus and and antispyware protection of 'Norton AntiVirus,' and safeguards against the latest online dangers by providing sophisticated new phishing protection, an enhanced firewall, and defense against software vulnerabilities.
Speaking on the occasion, David Hall, marketing manager - regional consumer product, Symantec, said, "Over the past year, the Internet threat landscape has taken a dramatic turn. In addition, security vulnerabilities in operating systems and applications are being discovered and exploited more rapidly than ever. And Symantec is committed to delivering proven products that help users stay ahead of this changing landscape."
"With the release of 'Norton AntiVirus 2007' and 'Norton Internet Security 2007,' we are providing consumers world-class protection that automatically identifies and neutralizes online threats, as soon as they attempt to attack a user s computer, without requiring the user to make complicated decisions about their security," Hall said.
"Norton AntiVirus 2007" delivers potent new technology that blocks attacks from entire worm and virus families without requiring individual signatures for each new threat, and provides proactive protection for users even before a new worm or virus is created and released. It also incorporates enhanced scanning capabilities to ensure that high-risk spyware is detected and removed prior to installation.
Where as, "Norton Internet Security 2007" includes all the features in 'Norton AntiVirus 2007' and enhances its detection, blocking, and removal tools with innovative transaction security technology that protects consumers against the latest online attacks. This sophisticated fraud detection technology allows users to enjoy zero-hour protection against known and unknown phishing sites. As a result, users can always be protected, even when they are the first visitors to a fraudulent site.
The Intrusion Prevention feature in "Norton Internet Security 2007" offers critical protection against recently discovered vulnerabilities in Windows OS and other popular applications. With this security application, all viruses, worms, and hackers attempting to infect a person s computer through these vulnerabilities are immediately blocked from ever getting on the system.
Meanwhile, both "Norton AntiVirus 2007" and "Norton Internet Security 2007" are backed by Symantec Security Response, a team of intrusion experts, security engineers, virus hunters, and global technical support teams that work in tandem to provide extensive coverage for enterprise, businesses, and consumers.
While the suggested retail price (SRP) of "Norton AntiVirus 2007" is Rs 1,899, "Norton Internet Security 2007" comes for a SRP of Rs 2,899. Both the products carry one-year subscription to Symantec' protection updates.
Available for purchase through the Symantec online store at www.symantecstore.com, as well as various retail locations and online retailers, current users of Symantec products, or 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.
