Advanced Security Technologies

Norton AntiVirus 2011 still offers its traditional signature based protection. Although they have developed other technologies to supplement the protection capability of signatures, signatures are still very important. Norton’s massive and constantly growing database of recognized malware will ensure the protection of your computer against threats.

Norton Insight technology allows the software to scan files that are at risk and skip trusted and unmodified files, so the scans run significantly quicker. SONAR 3 is Norton’s next advanced security technology. The abbreviation means Symantec Online Network for Advanced Response. It’s a proactive method of identifying malware by observing the behavior of files in real time, in order to block viruses before they infect your computer.

Norton offers another form of technology to detect the latest new or troublesome viruses that cannot be detected by other approaches. Its two main features are Download Insight and Reputation Technology. Download Insight is mainly designed to block new malware before you mistakenly download it.

Norton allows you to see the relevant information on any file, which is acquired by hard work that is focused on research and private information provided by the Norton Community Watch. Relevant information is displayed automatically when you try to download a file, so you can make an educated decision. If you do not want this feature, you can simply set the software to display information only when a risky file is detected.

Proudly Made by Symantec

Norton Reputations is a security approach introduced by Symantec. It involves a special algorithm to examine files and identify their threat based on their reputation, source, digital signature, age, and popularity. This technology is not just a tool or feature, it is an approach which works with a number of other Norton technologies to provide efficient security to users. Norton is also capable of searching all your current files and provides you with information on each. The software can also increase your awareness of how every computer and people’s computing habits are in contrast to the other users around the world.

Professional testing that was performed by a number of organizations meant that they agreed on the efficacy of Norton as an antivirus software. Norton is recognized for its speed and efficiency in threat detection and is rated as one of the fastest.
