Symantec plans to introduce a security product later this year that will take on Microsoft's forthcoming Windows OneCare and Vista security technology.
After poking around the Windows Vista networking stack, Symantec researchers have tried out privilege-escalation attacks on an early version of the Windows XP successor.
Security researchers worked overtime in 2007, which turned out to be a nightmare for software vendors from day one.
Symantec's next-generation security software is officially named Norton 360 and faces a delay from the original September due date.
Security vendors are claiming Microsoft was deliberately withholding access to its Vista spyware product, but the software giant denied the charge.
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.
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.
Security researchers worked overtime in 2007, which turned out to be a nightmare for software vendors from day one.
Coming off a good quarter for Symantec's consumer businesses, CEO John Thompson warns against viewing Windows Vista as a solution to security woes.
Apple computers have built a solid reputation on being virus-free, but is the reality different from the image?
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.
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.
For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance. We recommend it over McAfee Total Protection and Microsoft Windows Live OneCare.
McAfee Internet Security 2008 trounces Norton Internet Security 2008, offering a better designed product with more security tools.
