Norton AntiVirus for the New Millennium
The latest incarnation of NAV expands upon the powerful virus scanner by adding extensive Internet support. Newer releases automatically protect you from contracting a malicious virus via e-mail attachments, file downloads, ActiveX code, Java applets, Trojan horses, or any other Internet source.
The e-mail protection is particularly useful in that NAV can detect and disinfect any viruses found in e-mail messages — even in compressed attachments. The e-mail scanning engine works with Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora (Light and Pro), and Netscape (Mail and Messenger). The engine runs automatically in the background and only appears when a virus is found in a message attachment.
Additional features in NAV include:
· Text-based scanning for specific folders or directories, · Improved file detection and repair capabilities for compressed archives, · Graphical virus alerts that identify viruses within your system, · Improved updating of virus definition files via LiveUpdate, · Automatic virus alert messages that report new virus information, · Full Windows 2000 and Windows XP compatibility, · and much more.
