PCWorld: New Norton Security Products For 2011
New features include the ability to delete fake anti malware software and the ability to assess a potential Internet download based on its reputation.
“Norton on Wednesday announced its 2011 versions of its Norton Internet Security suite and Norton Antivirus software. Norton also announced a new application–Norton Power Eraser–that is designed to remove the increasingly common fake antivirus malware.
New features for Norton’s 2011 product lineup include new “reputation-based” detection technology (where the software will check a downloaded file to see if it can be trusted, based on whether it’s a known download from a known company, etc…), bolstered behavioral malware detection (detecting malware based on how it acts on your PC), and new system performance monitoring tools.”
