let me preface, I will soon be upgrading to NIS2009, but for now and a few weeks will have NAV2008 so my question is in regard to how NAV2008 will help.
The site in question is www.4shared.com
I check safeweb.norton.com and it showed it as a clean site. But some commentors indicated be careful of the downloads
I know th site indicates all uploads are checked for virus/spyware/maleware/etc ( by Kaparsky- Would feel better if the used Norton) at the time they are uploaded to the site
I guess that makes downloads safer?
If I went to download a file My Norton Antivirus 2008 would detect something bad provided Norton had a definition for it right?
would it block the download if it were malicious? and I'd be notified before the download was completed right?
are such sites where "shared files" ar uploaded to a central website safere than the p2p file sharing directly from computer to computer?
