Computer security vendor Symantec has opened test versions of two of its Norton 2009 products to the public.
Symantec is urging its customers to patch their security products after being warned about a critical vulnerability that could allow hackers to execute code remotely.
Late last week Trend Micro released its Internet Security 2009 and Internet Security Pro 2009 products, touting enhanced performance, features and better end-user education.
Computer security giant Symantec this week said it would not integrate the software of recent acquisition PC Tools into its mainstream Norton suite, instead using the products as its low-cost option for countries such as India and China.
Norton AntiVirus, one of Symantec's most popular Internet security products, contains a security flaw that could allow a malicious user to disable the software's auto-protect feature, according to an advisory by security Web site Secunia
Today, Symantec released Norton 360 Version 2.0, but I wonder whether the security giant has learned from its past mistakes?
Symantec is about to launch Norton 360 in Australia and although the product seems to have some interesting features, it will take more than marketing hype to persuade me that the company has stopped making bloated and unreliable software.
The next time you're buying antivirus software, don't go direct to Symantec or McAfee. Don't download free antivirus. And definitely don't see Harvey Norman. Ask your bank they're quite literally giving the stuff away.
Symantec published its 10th Internet Threat Report this week and quietly admitted a few days later that its predictions of increasing Mac-targeted spyware threats have not been realised.
This week Symantec made beta versions of its flagship Norton Internet Security 2010 and Antivirus 2010 products available for testing. We put NIS 2010 through its paces to see how it stacks up.
Norton Internet Security 2009 hits all the right security notes and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks. We take you on a tour.
Serious security flaws have recently been discovered in popular desktop firewalls from Norton and Internet Security Systems.
The security software maker smooths a wrinkle in its product activation technology that was causing its Norton family of security applications to fail.
Symantec on Tuesday plans to launch the Symantec Internet Threat Meter, a free service meant to inform consumers about the state of Net security.
While Symantec's protection is solid, the overall user experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be much, much better. Not all the features work together and use fewer system resources.
Norton Internet Security 2006 is a solid security suite, but it bogs down PC performance. Though it's a reasonable upgrade for entrenched Norton fans, it offers users less bang for the buck than ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.
There's little new in Norton Internet Security for upgraders, and newbies can do much better with ZoneAlarm Security Suite.
An excellent all-in-one PC defence: Norton Internet Security 2004 is the best all-in-one security suite, thanks to its fine spam filter.
Norton Internet Security 2010 builds on the immense progress it made in last year's version, maintaining a low system profile while strengthening its security framework. It's not perfect, but even Symantec's detractors should check it out.
