The Church of England's publishing arm has advised clergy to ignore Symantec security warnings, after its Norton Antivirus product wrongly identified church software as spyware.
Computer security firm Symantec this week claimed 300 changes in the new versions of Norton Internet Security and Antivirus would address past performance problems.
Computer security vendor Symantec has opened test versions of two of its Norton 2009 products to the public.
Symantec is using interesting techniques to tackle performance requirements in its upcoming Norton 2009 security suite, according to the company's vice president of consumer engineering, Rowan Trollope.
Yahoo's e-mail service is not infected with a computer virus, despite a warning from Symantec that says it is.
Today, Symantec released Norton 360 Version 2.0, but I wonder whether the security giant has learned from its past mistakes?
Norton AntiVirus 2006 improves its detection and removal of spyware and adware but lags behind the more proactive McAfee VirusScan 2006.
One big reason viruses are still rampant on the Net: Too many people don't use antivirus software. The way to get them to change their ways is to make that software free.
Exploit codes that take advantage of a security vulnerability in Symantec's Norton AntiVirus software have been published on the Internet, which could leave users vulnerable to an attack.
A series of follies by antivirus provider Symantec could well lead customers deeper into a quagmire of confusion and panic, says Fran Foo.
Security software vendors may soon side with US government authorities and intentionally fail to report "certain spyware" to customers if ordered by a court to remain quiet, according to a survey of leading firms.
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.
As we await final code and therefore test results on the overall performance of this year's version of Norton AntiVirus, the new interface and features alone do not suggest an automatic KO in our latest antivirus roundup of 2008 products.
McAfee Internet Security 2008 trounces Norton Internet Security 2008, offering a better designed product with more security tools.
By rewriting much of the code, Symantec made Norton AntiVirus 2007 faster and lighter than its 2006 version, but a few glitches here and there keep us from granting it our Editors' Choice award.
Norton AntiVirus 2006 improves its detection and removal of spyware and adware but lags behind the more proactive McAfee VirusScan 2006.
