05.09.2008Neowin Review: Symantec Norton Internet Security 2009
Back when I got my first PC, there wasn't a need for Antivirus software, malware wasn't heard of, and Spam came in a can, and could arguably
be called a tasty treat. Now, you just about can't run a PC without some sort of Antivirus/spyware protection, especially if you're connected
to the internet (something we'd only be able to use if we were students at the local college). Back in late 1990, Symantec released their first
Antivirus software, called Norton Antivirus (from the original company name, and founder, Peter Norton). At the time, it was considered one of, if
not THE best AV software out there.

29.07.2008Symantec patches critical Norton flaw
A bug in the way Norton
AntiVirus software uses the
ActiveX programming language
could cause serious problems
for users of Symantec's
products.
On Thursday, Symantec
patched the flaw warning that
a bug in two ActiveX controls
used by Symantec's client
software could allow an
attacker to run unauthorized
software on a victim's
computer. Security vendor
Secunia ApS
rates
the problem as "highly
critical."
The flaw is an "input
validation" error, meaning
that Norton doesn't properly
check the data it's receiving
to ensure that it can't be
mistaken for malicious
commands. The bug affects
users of the 2006 versions of
Norton AntiVirus, Norton
Internet Security, and Norton
System Works. Norton Internet
Security 2006, Anti Spyware
Edition is also affected. ..

09.12.2006Symantec Sets Next Release of Norton 360
Symantec's security software is gearing up for the New Year with a few enhancements. The Cupertino-based security vendor slated the release of
Norton 360 Version 2.0 Beta for early January. While the basic Norton 360 engine is the same, version 2.0 is designed with a stronger focus on
usabiilty. The new beta version 2.0 offers expanded PC security, identity protection, and more backup and PC tuneup options. It's also accessible
and easy-to-use, offering a direct link to streamline user feedback. Symantec will introduce the premier version of Norton 360, which will include
improved antispam accuracy and enhanced control features, near the end of the first quarter.
Although the product was initially designed
for the security novice, a Symantec survey found that at least one third of its users were tech savvy. "It resonates with anyone who wants security
but doesn't want to deal with it," said Jeff Kyle, group product manager for Norton 360. "We weren't sure if the advanced users were really
ready for that. But the buying behavior has shown Norton 360 resonates well across all segments."

The Web browser moves to the fore in the release of Norton 360
Version 2.0. Two key features are Identity Protection, which now supports Firefox, and Browser Protection, which Symantec claims will protect against
drive-by-downloads delivered by maliciously tampered Web sites.
Symantec has written definitions to automatically detect when

04.03.2008America to crack down on blogger payola
US regulators are to crack down on bloggers who fail to disclose money or gifts received from companies when reviewing their products. In the new
policy from the Federal Trade Commission, offending bloggers could eventually face fines of up to $11,000 (£6,900) per violation, according
to the BBC. So-called payola schemes have increased in recent years, with marketers realising the potential of encouraging bloggers and forum
contributors to produce reviews or testimonials on their products in exchange for money of freebies. Although the guidelines released by the FTC are
not binding by law, they are interpretations of the law that hope to help advertisers comply with regulations, such as those on disclosing
endorsements.

06.10.2009Symantec false positive cripples thousands of Chinese PCs
A signature update to
Symantec's anti-virus
software crippled thousands of
Chinese PCs Friday when the
security software took two
critical Windows .dll files
for malware.
According to numerous blog
entries from Chinese computer
users, a virus signature
database seeded yesterday
mistook two system files of a
Chinese edition of Windows XP
SP2 as a Trojan horse which
Symantec dubs
"Backdoor.Haxdoor." The
anti-virus software -- Norton
AntiVirus, for example, or the
anti-virus component of the
Norton 360 or Norton Internet
Security suites -- then
quarantined the netapi32.dll
and lsasrv.dll files.
"With these files
removed, Windows XP will no
longer start up, and even the
system Safe Mode no longer
functions," said one user
writing to the
alt.comp.anti-virus newsgroup
