A major update to the Vulnerability Protection feature in Norton AntiVirus and Norton Internet Security has been posted to LiveUpdate. This update is free to all customers with a valid subscription.
This update includes the several changes, including:
- Uses the latest Vulnerability Protection Engine from Symantec, which will result in faster network performance, and better detection of signatures, especially HTTP/HTML signatures
- Smaller signatures that download more quickly, and more frequent updates of signature data from Symantec Security Response
- New signatures to detect ICMP Ping and SYN floods
All customers will receive this update as part of their regular LiveUpdate download schedule, or you can choose to run LiveUpdate now to install this update immediately.
Norton Internet Security 4.1 or Norton AntiVirus 11.1 must be installed first before this update can be installed.
