Editorial Review: Product Description: Norton AntiVirus 2007 blocks viruses and spyware with advanced protection. It helps protect your entire computer by stopping viruses, worms, and spyware. Norton AntiVirus works in the background so you can surf the Internet, read the news, play games, and download software or music without disruption. It also scans and cleans all email and instant messenger attachments, preventing you from receiving threats, or spreading them to others. With set-it and forget-it functionality, Norton AntiVirus checks for updates continuously and automatically blocks new and emerging threats from getting on your system. In addition to protection updates, Norton AntiVirus provides new product features as available throughout your subscription period. Amazon.com: Norton AntiVirus 2007 blocks viruses and spyware with advanced protection. It automatically detects and removes viruses, spyware, unwanted adware, and Internet worms, and provides protection updates. Your purchase provides a full year of protection with regular updates from Norton to combat the latest Internet threats. The purchase of this product contains a licence for one user. The 2007 version includes the new Security History feature to let you review detections and other actions taken by Norton AntiVirus. Also new for this release is Cookie Tracking Support, which gives you the ability to remove detected tracking cookies.
The new Security History is a convenient, centralized location where you can review detections and other actions taken by Norton AntiVirus. AntiVirus 2007 continues to offer Auto-Protect, Worm Blocking and more alerts. It also provides the option to allow Norton AntiVirus to automatically take action or be alerted prior to taking action. This "set-it-and-forget-it" solution lets you view alerts when you want to, so you can let Norton AntiVirus take care of the rest. At your convenience you can visit the Security History to view detections made and actions already taken by Norton AntiVirus. Tracking Cookie Support is also new for AntiVirus 2007. Upon scanning the system, tracking cookies will be detected and you will have the option to delete tracking cookies or ignore them. For some sites, you may want to allow cookies so that you don't need to sign into the site each time you visit it. But other cookies you may want to delete, such as those from third-party advertisers. Internet Worm Protection has been enhanced for 2007 so that it now protects against entire categories of spyware, viruses, worms and Trojan horse programs. Rather than block individually identified threats, this feature now matches individual but unknown threats to known worm and virus families and blocks them from installing on the system without requiring specific virus or worm signatures, giving you zero-hour protection. This technology helps protects against new spyware, viruses and worm threats before they are even created. Rootkit protection has been improved for AntiVirus 2007 to better guard against hidden threats such as rootkits, a type of virus that exhibits no discernible symptoms in order to evade detection. Previous versions of Norton AntiVirus already protect against user mode and application level rootkits. Leveraging VxMS technology acquired by Symantec through its merger with Veritas, Symantec has increased detection of emerging stealth threats by including patent-pending rootkit protection at the deepest level within the operating system. This protects against kernel mode rootkits that have dropped a driver onto the system. These threats may be invisible to Windows or other security software, but can be detected and removed by AntiVirus 2007. Norton AntiVirus protects your computer with three distinct types of scans.
The Norton Protection Center has been completely redesigned to communicate security status simply and efficiently. You can browse easily through each drop-down category to view the status of the category's security features. Overall computer status is always visible via the Norton Status icon on the taskbar or in the Windows system tray icon. The improved Auto Protect Blocking detects and blocks incoming viruses, spyware and unwanted adware threats as they attempt to install and execute on your system. Auto Protect Blocking now blocks both threats and high security risks from ever installing on the system. It is always running invisibly in the background to protect your computers. The easy "install and forget" feature keeps you from having to make constant security decisions to keep your computer safe and protected. Packer support has also been updated for 2007 to protect against virus hidden in compressed files or other masking technology. Many virus writers use packer tools to package up a virus such that the virus becomes difficult to detect. Sympack will now focus on unpacking the virus so that it can be detected. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Excellent Tool!!This product helps to protect and safeguard my computer from unwanted attempts at hacking into my system. A must have for the mobile professional. Rating: - Decent, but not as good as the old NAVThis is a decent version of Symantec's Norton Antivirus line. It did slow my XP system down at first, but has run well on my laptop's Vista system. I got it to work well with XP by disabling some of the alerts and reducing the threat levels to medium. Thus said, it's reliable and it has done a good job of blocking two threats. However, my only drawback is that you have to pay extra to get a multiple user version whereas the old days it would install on all my computers without having to purchase ...

LiveUpdate notice is a new feature that will give you pop-ups on your desktop about new products, new features, upgrades etc. I guess too many people opt-out on email notices, so they decided to just put it on your desk top... advertising about their products. It will also be in 2008. I would rather take my chances with nothing, than ever use a Norton product ever again. Rating: - Imagine everything that 2006 was and NAV 2007 has more bloat to spare!!I am so disgusted with NAV 2007. I do not advise anyone to waste their money on this bloated product. I installed it 3 days ago and I wished I had followed my gut feeling to not buy NAV anymore. I have been a faithful NAV customer since 2001, but that will change when this version expires, or I decide to chuck it and the money I invested in it, sooner. This 2007 version has slowed my computer down so much, it is appauling. My computer crashes and I have to reboot to be able to search the ... Read More Rating: - Honest and Intelligent ReviewI have read many people have had serious issues with this software, however, that mostly stems from computer and software ignorance rather than Norton 2007 being a poor program. Many people complain this program slows down their computer to the point they cannot use it. First of all, you don't need to set this software to run a virus scan when you turn on your computer. If you do this, you're simply an idiot. This program prevents you from acquiring viruses in the first place so running a scan at start up ... Read More |
