symantec reveals 2005 product updates.

norton has unveiled some of its new features in its forthcoming 2005 product lineup.

first to be released is its antivirus suite for 2005:

Quote:

Norton AntiVirus 2005 now includes a 30-second QuickScan, which runs during AntiVirus's LiveUpdate automatic software update and checks for active viruses in system memory and other critical areas. More significantly, perhaps, Norton AntiVirus 2005 supplements traditional e-mail virus protection with new Internet Worm Protection to combat threats that automatically scan IP addresses for open ports.

norton personal firewall 2005 will ship in september along with other products listed below:

Quote:

The new version of Norton Personal Firewall includes new privacy controls that let users seamlessly send personal data to trusted sites while interrupting data transmissions to nontrusted ones. This combats the more sophisticated types of online phishing--hoaxes designed to lure users into divulging sensitive information to sites that mimic legitimate sites such as eBay, AOL, and financial services sites.

norton antispam 2005:

Quote:

The third security suite application, Norton AntiSpam 2005, aims to protect users against fraudulent or "spoofed" e-mail messages, which do not reflect the return address of the actual sender. It can also filter messages by foreign language.

norton internet security 2005:

Quote:

The full Norton Internet Security 2005 suite includes the AntiVirus, Personal Firewall, and AntiSpam products plus parental Web controls and a new Outbreak Alert window. The Outbreak Alert utility runs in the background to alert users if they have inadvertently turned off virus protection (during software installation, for example). The window also displays the number of critical-level active viruses.
