Norton Internet Security 2004 Virus Detection via Norton AntiVirus Forrest Stroud
Virus Detection via Norton AntiVirus
Norton AntiVirus has been fully integrated with NIS to provide the ultimate in virus protection. Norton AntiVirus delivers Bloodhound heuristic technology, automatic e-mail scanning, task-based scanning, automatic background scanning protection (via the AutoProtect tool), compressed file detection and repair (ZIP, MIME/UU, LHA/LZH, ARJ, CAB, PKLite, and LZEXE formats currently supported), a Scan and Deliver feature, Quarantine capabilities, and much more.
In addition to its standard virus detection capabilities, Norton AntiVirus works in conjunction with NIS to ensure maximum protection for your workstation. For example, if a Java applet of ActiveX control is allowed to pass through the NIS firewall, Norton AntiVirus automatically steps in and scans the program for any signs of malicious code before allowing it to install and run.
