More informations about this product

Description

Norton Internet Security 4 is a suite of three applications designed to protect against security threats that can harm a Macintosh computer.

  • Norton AntiVirus continuously detects, removes, and blocks spyware, viruses, and other security risks. It also scans and cleans attachments exchanged through email or instant messaging (IM).
  • Norton Confidential protects passwords and other personal information, allowing the user to bank, shop, and do business online without threat of identity theft.
  • Norton Firewall protects against unwanted network connections from other computers. It can also be set to block particular applications from communicating out to the Internet or to allow them to do so.
Not Compatible with Mac OS v10.7

This product is not compatible with Mac OS v10.7 (Lion), though there may be some limited functionality.

Here are some notable features of this product:

  • Norton DeepSight Community blocks attackers that have been reported by Symantec users worldwide. Norton DeepSight automatically contacts Symantec to get an updated list of attackers.
  • Vulnerability Protection guards against application and operating system security holes.
  • Individual files can be locked, preventing them from being opened or deleted, whether deliberately by hackers or inadvertently.
  • LiveUpdate automatically downloads and installs the latest product and security updates.
  • Location Awareness automatically adjusts settings when a notebook computer connects to a new network.

The donation includes one year of virus protection and scanning engine updates.
