First Class Client - is it Protected by Norton AntiVirus

We are using the First Class client, for taking school courses.

  It has some tech. info here:

Do you know if Norton AntiVirus will stop bad files from being downloaded with this client?

 

I can't tell if Network Intrustion Prevention will monitor and stop files coming through this client or not.

 

Any comments, especially from Symantec employees, would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I will pass the info on to our school board, to help about 1800 other people.

Regards,

Jim
