Norton AntiVirus 2007 blocks viruses and spyware with advanced protection. It automatically detects and removes viruses, spyware, unwanted adware, and Internet worms, and provides protection updates. Your purchase provides a full year of protection with regular updates from Norton to combat the latest Internet threats. The purchase of this product contains licences for 3 individual users.

The 2007 version includes the new Security History feature to let you review detections and other actions taken by Norton AntiVirus. Also new for this release is Cookie Tracking Support, which gives you the ability to remove detected tracking cookies. <table align=right width=220 cellpadding=10> <tr> <td><img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/software/detail-page/nav07_screenshot-sm.jpg" border=1 align=top>
<small><b>The improved user interface in AntiVirus 2007 contains a convenient, centralized location where you can review detections, items repaired, and action required. View larger. </b></small>
</td> </tr> </table>

The new <b>Security History</b> is a convenient, centralized location where you can review detections and other actions taken by Norton AntiVirus. AntiVirus 2007 continues to offer Auto-Protect, Worm Blocking and more alerts. It also provides the option to allow Norton AntiVirus to automatically take action or be alerted prior to taking action. This "set-it-and-forget-it" solution lets you view alerts when you want to, so you can let Norton AntiVirus take care of the rest. At your convenience you can visit the Security History to view detections made and actions already taken by Norton AntiVirus.

<b>Tracking Cookie Support</b> is also new for AntiVirus 2007. Upon scanning the system, tracking cookies will be detected and you will have the option to delete tracking cookies or ignore them. For some sites, you may want to allow cookies so that you don't need to sign into the site each time you visit it. But other cookies you may want to delete, such as those from third-party advertisers.

<b>Internet Worm Protection</b> has been enhanced for 2007 so that it now protects against entire categories of spyware, viruses, worms and Trojan horse programs. Rather than block individually identified threats, this feature now matches individual but unknown threats to known worm and virus families and blocks them from installing on the system without requiring specific virus or worm signatures, giving you zero-hour protection. This technology helps protects against new spyware, viruses and worm threats before they are even created.

<b>Rootkit protection</b> has been improved for AntiVirus 2007 to better guard against hidden threats such as rootkits, a type of virus that exhibits no discernible symptoms in order to evade detection. Previous versions of Norton AntiVirus already protect against user mode and application level rootkits. Leveraging VxMS technology acquired by Symantec through its merger with Veritas, Symantec has increased detection of emerging stealth threats by including patent-pending rootkit protection at the deepest level within the operating system. This protects against kernel mode rootkits that have dropped a driver onto the system. These threats may be invisible to Windows or other security software, but can be detected and removed by AntiVirus 2007.

Norton AntiVirus protects your computer with three distinct types of scans. <ul>

  • The <b>Preinstall Scan</b> detects and cleans spyware, viruses and worms on an already infected system. The enhanced pre-install scan now detects and removes high-risk spyware before AntiVirus is even installed. </li>
  • <b>QuickScan</b> runs invisibly after you receive new virus definitions from Norton. QuickScan helps ensure that your computer is fully protected against even the newest threats. QuickScan has now expanded to search for other areas on the system such as "My Documents" and other areas of common infection. </li>
  • <b>Full Scan</b> is a full-system scan that now includes a foreground and background throttling mode. The background throttling mode performs the scan using less processing power so users can continue working on their system without major performance impacts. </li></ul>

    The <b>Norton Protection Center</b> has been completely redesigned to communicate security status simply and efficiently. You can browse easily through each drop-down category to view the status of the category's security features. Overall computer status is always visible via the Norton Status icon on the taskbar or in the Windows system tray icon.

    The improved <b>Auto Protect Blocking</b> detects and blocks incoming viruses, spyware and unwanted adware threats as they attempt to install and execute on your system. Auto Protect Blocking now blocks both threats and high security risks from ever installing on the system. It is always running invisibly in the background to protect your computers. The easy "install and forget" feature keeps you from having to make constant security decisions to keep your computer safe and protected.

    <b>Packer support</b> has also been updated for 2007 to protect against virus hidden in compressed files or other masking technology. Many virus writers use packer tools to package up a virus such that the virus becomes difficult to detect. Sympack will now focus on unpacking the virus so that it can be detected.

    4 out of 5 stars WORKS FINE ON MY 3 COMPUTERS.......2007-06-04

    However, once you install it (and register it with Symantic) on one computer, the 1 year clock begins to countdown,
    even on the 2 remaining installs.

    So if you wait 2 months and install it on a 2nd & 3rd computer, you only
    have 10 months left on each.

    Also, if you have any time remaining from the previous install (2006)
    - you lose it!

    I had 2 months on one and 1 month on the other and all I got was a total of 1 year each on all 3 - so they will all expire on the same day!

    I also had to uninstall Norton's own FireWall before the Antivirus could be installed.

    Apart from all of this, it works fine and seems to get along with the Norton SystemWorks Premier (with Ghost) on all 3 machines.

    Hopefully, by 2008 all the bad Press will be removed as well.

    5 out of 5 stars Norton Anti-Virus 2007.......2007-05-29

    I ordered this product for three downloads. So far I have used two of them. After reading some of the other notes regarding this product, I deleted any Norton products left on the computer and then I downloaded. I had no problems. Last week I did have to redownload the product on one of the computers as Norton wanted me to download again. It took a while but wasn't really that bad. This was definitely worth the money that I paid. I also received it in a few days.

    5 out of 5 stars Much better than NAV 2006.......2007-05-21

    It works to protect against viruses without constantly bugging me like the competition. I used this product to upgrade from NAV 2006 & it loads a lot faster on startup. Runs fine on my older system with only 512MB of RAM.

    1 out of 5 stars Do Not Buy ANy Norton Software.......2007-05-21

    Not only does Norton software slow down computers and messes up programs, but they support service is disgusting. I bought Norton antivirus one year ago. I renewed my subscription, in the meantime my computer crashed, I junked it, got a new one, and trie to re-download the Norton Program, (note my subscription is valid for 11 more months). Well, after a 30 minute on line chat I was informed that I have to fork out more money and buy an upgrade. Does that make sense?

    4 out of 5 stars Norton - Bugs and all.......2007-05-21

    Norton has struck again. I have loaded two of the three licensed instlls of Norton and am thus far batting .500. The version in my laptop XPPro, works very well. The version on my desktop is irritating the daylights out of me as it keeps asking for the virus update to be run as it claims to be outdated. OK, I will play your game once or twice, but even after running and getting an all-current response the prompt comes up immediately to update because you have not updated since Pluto was a pup! ARGGGGGHHHHH!Norton AntiVirus 2007
