Symantec has released the latest version of its antivirus software along with the new Internet Security product that is aimed at minimizing cybercrime. The popular security software provider has supplemented the launch with the release of its latest Cybercrime report where it claims that close to 65% of the global internet users have fallen prey to cybercrime – including online credit card theft, identity theft and computer viruses.
Speaking about the products itself, the new Norton Antivirus comes with features such as the Reputation service that instantly checks for the source of files, Pulse updates that dynamically updates the local virus database as well as a SONAR Behavioral protection system. The Internet Security 2011 software too comes with similar features in addition to the Download Insight that warns users of dangerous files before they are installed.
The two softwares are available on the Symantec website at an annual cost of $39.99 and $69.99 respectively.
