Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus

[sOulbAit]

I was trying to verifiy if Norton Internet Security 2009 contains Norton Antibot.

I saw on one of the download pages that says it does (can't find that one again), but when I go to the Norton Internet Security 2009 products page, there is no mention of the Norton Antibot anywhere on that page.

I also opened Norton Internet Security 2009 and clicked on the help screen and there also is no mention of Norton Antibot listed in the help menu

If it is part of Norton Internet Security 2009, how do you find out more about it?

Thank you very much.

Hi

SONAR uses an algorithm to evaluate hundreds of attributes relating to software that is running on your PC, so it can spot malicious software, whether it's already been identified by Symantec researchers or not.

It basically supersedes Norton Antibot, with it's advanced protection properties.

Thank you very much johna.

Have a great day.

NIS09 intergrates the more "battle-tested" features of NAB. Running NAB alongside with NIS will create some redundancy; but it works.

Threatfire complments NIS 2009 very well.

What is NAT?

Tech0utsider, please see the Wikipedia description of Network Address Translation. Dieselman is referencing some of the inherent protective propers of working in a NAT environment.
