More informations about this product

Description

Norton Confidential for Macintosh protects passwords and other personal information, allowing the user to bank, shop, and do business online without threat of identity theft. Confidential runs in the background, opening a window only when an issue arises that needs the user's attention.

Confidential for Macintosh has four main components:

  • Phishing Protection: Confidential can install a toolbar in Safari, Firefox, or both for informing the user of any security problems. It keeps and updates a database of known phishing websites and blocks them. Since new phishing sites appear daily, rendering a comprehensive list impossible, Confidential also scans pages for earmarks of phishing and warns the user before allowing the browser to access potentially dangerous sites.
  • Information Guard: Confidential keeps a list of sensitive information — credit card and bank account numbers, names, addresses, or any other information of importance — and monitors the user's Internet connection to ensure that the information is never transmitted from the computer by accident. Depending on the program settings, Information Guard can warn the user of a potential breach or block the transfer altogether.
  • File Guard: A password is required when any program attempts to access information in a file or folder that the user has designated as protected.
  • Vulnerability Protection: Confidential keeps and blocks a list of digital signatures with known vulnerabilities. Users may choose which signatures to block or allow.

This donation includes 25 CD-ROMs for installation on 25 Macintosh computers.

Note: Although Symantec does not provide telephone technical support for donated products, it does offer free online technical support on its award-winning website.
