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.
