A year has passed since I published a poll with which I wanted to find out what version of Norton Internet Security visitors uses.

The poll results encouraging, because we can see that users prefer to use the latest versions of software, that are faster and more reliable than previous ones. It's good, because the Norton Internet Security product is being actively developed, and each year the Symantec corporation implements new technologies to ensure the security of users' computers. Thus, using the latest version of the program can be sure that your PC is safe.

Spam. In some ways, it's the electronic equivalent of junk mail and junk phone calls. Spam is not only an unsolicited and annoying nuisance, it's also a pervasive problem that's clogging and overwhelming the Internet's email systems.

In other ways, spam is worse than junk mail or junk phone calls. Although some spam is simply unwanted but legitimate advertising, much of it is worse. It can include everything from scam offers to malicious code--all designed to wreak havoc on your financial well-being or on your computer.

You might also want to take a look at Windows 8 Security about the enhanced security features of Windows 8 and the page about Windows 8 and Norton Security Products.

Windows 8 is coming soon. If you update to Microsoft’s new Windows 8, you will still need Norton’s powerful protection from dangerous and emerging threats.

Norton is designed from the ground up not just to work with your PC, but to be the best protection for you and all of your devices. It's what Norton does. In fact, keeping your stuff safe from online threats everywhere is the only thing Norton does. You can be sure that all of our PC protection, Norton AntiVirus, Norton Internet Security and Norton 360, will provide the robust security solution you expect from an industry leader.

You have almost certainly heard by now about the exciting changes from Microsoft planned for Windows 8. If you have followed the press or, better yet, played with the Windows 8 Developer Preview, then you know that this OS could change the way people think of the traditional PC. By incorporating a “touch-first” interface and introducing the Metro-UI to PC users, Microsoft is attempting to combine the rich functionality we have come to expect from our laptops and desktops with the convenience and simplicity provided by tablet, or “slate,” devices. Consumers currently have a lot of options when it comes to Android tablets, full functioning e-Readers, and, of course, iPads. Windows 8 provides an all-in-one option for people who do not want to learn how to use a new operating system just so that they can surf the web from their couch.

In addition to the new range of computing experiences that Windows 8 provides, Microsoft is hoping that Windows 8 will also change the game with regard to Windows security. The folks in Redmond have been getting more serious about security for some time now. The Vista operating system, while a failure in terms of sales, was an honest attempt to lock down the operating system. This effort was tuned in the Windows 7 release to wide acclaim. With Windows 8, Microsoft is raising the bar once again by updating the default security solution provided with the OS, enhancing its reputation-based security, and by adding functionality to watch for the deadliest threats.

Security Technology and Response (STAR) is the Symantec division responsible for the innovation and development of Symantec’s security technologies, which address protection in five areas: file, network, behavior, reputation, and remediation.

Within Symantec, Security Technology and Response (STAR) oversees the research and development efforts for all of Symantec’s malware security technologies. These form the core protection capabilities of Symantec’s corporate and consumer security products.

The Security Technology and Response (STAR) organization, which includes Security Response, is a worldwide team of security engineers, threat analysts and researchers that provide the underlying functionality content and support for all Symantec corporate and consumer security products.

With Response centers located throughout the world, STAR monitors malicious code reports from more than 130 million systems across the Internet, receives data from 240,000 network sensors in more than 200 countries and tracks more than 25,000 vulnerabilities affecting more than 55,000 technologies from more than 8,000 vendors. The team uses this vast intelligence to develop and deliver the world’s most comprehensive security protection. There are approximately 550 employees in STAR.

Some years ago, traditional antivirus technologies were all that was needed to protect an endpoint from attack. However, with the dramatic shift in the threat landscape over the last few years, it is no longer reasonable to think that antivirus-based technologies alone are sufficient. To address this, STAR has developed a collaborative eco-system of security technologies to protect Symantec’s users from malicious attacks.

Although our goal is never to allow a threat to reach a machine, in the real world there are still situations where a user's system can get infected. Such circumstances likely include:
1) Users who previously had no installed security product;
2) Users whose product subscription expired;
3) Users attacked by a new zero-day threat;

Symantec remediation technologies address these situations by providing capabilities to clean up already infected machines. The core set of these technologies is built into all our malware security products.

The newest addition to the suite of protection technologies developed by STAR, reputation-based security, addresses the latest development in the threat landscape, that of micro-distributed malware. Using the combined wisdom of over 130 million contributing users, our reputation system learns which applications are good and bad based on the anonymous adoption patterns of our users. It then uses this intelligence to automatically classify virtually every software file on the planet. This reputation data is utilized by all of Symantec's products to automatically block new malware and, conversely, to identify and allow new legitimate applications.

Millions of end users today are tricked into clicking on malware that are masquerading as video players or rogue antivirus applications that do nothing except infect the user and social engineer the user into paying for software that doesn’t do anything. Drive-by downloads and web-attack toolkits are silently infecting users who visit mainstream websites by the hundreds of millions. Some malware will install rootkits or inject malicious code into running programs and system processes. Malware today can be dynamically generated rendering file-based detection insufficient for protecting end users systems.

Network-based protection is a set of technologies designed to block malicious attacks before they have a chance to introduce malware onto a system. Unlike file-based protection that must wait until a file is physically created on a user’s computer, network-based protection starts to analyze the incoming data streams that arrive onto a user’s machine via network connections and blocks threats before they hit the system.

A common misconception about antivirus file scanners is that they simply look for known patterns in files in order to determine if a file is good or bad. Actually, modern antivirus solutions go beyond simple pattern matching and apply generic and heuristic techniques when looking for threats. In fact, the best antivirus engines provide multiple methods for identifying known and unknown threats. Symantec’s file-based protection is one such technology.

File-based security has a long history as one of the cornerstones of Symantec’s protection technologies. STAR continues to invest in and drive innovation to Symantec’s file-based security to keep current with the latest developments on the threat landscape. Having infected files on a target machine is one of the main methods for threats to maintain a presence on a machine beyond the initial attack. Because of this, file-based protection will always be instrumental in detecting, neutralizing and removing threats on Symantec’s customers’ machines.
