Virus and threat protection features

	Norton AntiVirus for Macintosh version 10.0 includes
	these antivirus features:
Auto-Protect	Provides virus and threat protection as soon as you start
	your computer and constant protection while you work.
	It eliminates viruses, including macro viruses, and
	quarantines and repairs damaged files. It also checks
	for viruses every time you use software programs on
	your computer, insert CDs or other removable media,
	use the Internet, receive email, or copy or save files to
	your computer.
Mount Scan	Scans removable disks, including CDs, Zip disks, and
	flash drives, to ensure that they don’t contain viruses.
	Mount Scan allows you to select the kinds of media that
	Auto-Protect scans for viruses when you use them with
	your computer. This feature lets you prevent scanning of
	specific types of CDs and DVDs, or an iPod, that you
	know are virus-free and that you don’t want scanned
	every time you use them with your computer.
SafeZones	SafeZones are locations you designate on your computer
	that are protected automatically. Whenever a file is
	copied, changed, or added within a SafeZone, Auto-
	Protect scans the file for viruses. You can select specific
	folders on the computer as SafeZones, or select the
	entire hard disk as a SafeZone. If you select the entire
	hard disk as a SafeZone, Auto-Protect scans every file
	that is created, copied, or modified on your hard disk.
	By default, your entire computer is considered a
	SafeZone.
LiveUpdate	Downloads and installs the latest program updates and
	virus definitions automatically to protect your computer
	against new threats. Norton AntiVirus uses virus
	definition files to recognize viruses and intercept their
	activity.
Bloodhound	Bloodhound is the Norton AntiVirus scanning technology
technology	for detecting new and unknown viruses. It detects
	viruses by analyzing an executable file’s structure,
	behavior, and other attributes, such as programming
	logic, computer instructions, and any data contained in
	the file.
