New Norton protection for 2007
If you don't have anti-virus software -- or if it isn't updated automatically online -- do not connect to the Internet. And, don't swap foppy disks, cd's or dvd's!
Should viruses and worms enter your system, they can corrupt and destroy software making your system unusable. Worse, you could lose email, address books, your term paper, important financial records or precious family photos. New threats emerge daily. Be smart, get protected and stay protected.
Viruses and worms can be stopped by any good antivirus program. Some block spyware that can that be used to track your shopping/web surfing habits. In some cases, spyware can be used to steal your identity. Many new security pacakages are classified as "internet security" packages. In addition to a complete anitivurs solution, they include a firewall to block unwelcome traffic into and out of your computer. It's easy to buy one tool to do it all and one of the best security tools that I've used is Symantec's Norton Internet Security. Symantec's Norton AntiVirus is a top tier anitvirus. It's been overhauled for 2007 and it's getting great reviews. Norton Internet Security has the same great antiivurs but adds the firewall and includes a license for up to 3 computers. This makes it a great buy for the modern family with several computers or the small office. Norton products are famous for their value and completeness. It's the premier antivirus and very competitively priced. The new version is very user friendly. More importantly, independent labs rate as strong a protector as any on market (which, incidently, is stronger than most).
No product is perfect and, I think due to Norton's huge success, it hated in some corners. I have used it for years on several different systems. It has always been steady and reliable.
Norton requires XP Home or Pro. (They do have a Apple OS Tiger version.) They also charge for live telephone support but there online chat and email support is free. If you must have free telephone support, you may want to look at other vendors.
If you're not running that, there are many other great antivirus products out there: CA's eTrust, McAfee, BitDefender, and others conveniently listed at Symantec-Shop.com. Again, no product is perfect but you probably won't go wrong choosing any major brand.
Norton is unquestionably top tier - a world leader in security. Don't just take my word for it. Most professionals I know have long trusted and recommended Norton for the desktop system. The major tech publications always rate it very high.
Don't put off buying an antivirus or renewing your existing one. After relative quiet period, new viruses outbreaks are likely in the next few months.
