NIS 2010 and SONAR 2,3?

Hi Nortoners :) Im a newbie :D

 

I have a question about SONAR.

 

Some ppl said Norton 2010 products is now using SONAR 3, some other said only some features of SONAR 3 adopted to SONAR 2 while in the blog.. it is said that all Norton 2010 users will also benefit from this (what does this mean? > <)

 

Which one is correct? and how do we check if its SONAR 2 or 3 in the application?

 

Many thanks for the help :)

Sonar is Symantec's approach to unknown virus. Nis08 nis09 came with Sonar 1. Nis10 came with an improved sonar version 2. Pretty sure only nis11 came with Sonar 3. I don't think there is a way to check what version of sonar the product is using, not that I know of. To be 100% sure you are using sonar 3, just upgrade to the latest 2011 product for free! The upgrade link is in my signature.

Hello

 

I believe that Sonar 3 is being used now by N360 version 4 although that is considered as a 2010 product and the next version probably won't be out till next year in March or April 2011.
