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.
Security giant Symantec has refused to detail how its global plans to slim down its workforce will affect its Australian operation.
Symantec plans to introduce a security product later this year that will take on Microsoft's forthcoming Windows OneCare and Vista security technology.
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.
If you ran a software company and an independent security researcher contacted you with proof that your product contains security vulnerabilities, how would you react?
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.
What's easier to manage 200 Mac OS X systems without antivirus or 200 Windows systems running a leading antivirus package?
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.
Norton AntiVirus 2006 improves its detection and removal of spyware and adware but lags behind the more proactive McAfee VirusScan 2006.
A series of follies by antivirus provider Symantec could well lead customers deeper into a quagmire of confusion and panic, says Fran Foo.
Norton Internet Security 2009 hits all the right security notes and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks, though the lack of adequate technical support may continue to frustrate.
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 2007 makes significant gains over last year, including cutting-edge rootkit and behavioral monitoring features found nowhere else, but the overall package could be serious overkill for the average desktop owner.
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.
