About computer viruses
Computers are at risk from viruses regardless of being
connected to the internet. A virus enters a computer without the user’s knowledge of
consent via many means, including email attachments, floppy discs and Instant Messages.
Within minutes of the virus becoming enabled it have spread to other computers by sending
out unsolicited emails to your friends, changing the settings of your system, corrupting
important files so they are no longer retrievable, and maybe even making your computer
unusable and reformatting your hard drive.
The first acknowledged computer virus was created 25
years ago, and since then the number of infections has increased day by day. Not all
viruses will cause serious damage, but they are an annoyance and can cause reduced
performance and system crashes. Alongside viruses, Spyware has also become a major problem
in recent years. Spyware secretly installs itself on a computer and can monitor your
behavior, and in some cases can steal your personal information and send it to another
computer.
To protect you from these malicious programs, AntiVirus
products, such as Symantec’s AntiVirus 2007, have been
developed to provide maximum infection security. Using computer scanning technology as
well as monitoring emails and Instant Messages, an AntiVirus program will keep your
computer safe from old and emerging threats.
User reviews Norton Antivirus 2007
Gerard T. - " I personally like this 2007 version, since I was very
upset with 2006 which was very slow. The interface is user-friendly and easy to follow. I
can still expect the improvement in the next 2008 version because 2007's auto-load is
still comparatively slow compared to other competitors. The Norton definition needs to be
updated faster, like Kaspersky does. "
Hank B. - " I have used NAV for years
and years, although my colleagues say there is better, faster, more technical virus
protection out there, I find Norton Antivirus rugged and reliable, and has caught every
virus that has ever sneaked into my system. Easy to set up, and use. Claims to be Vista
compatible with a downloadable upgrade, but I don't know, since I gave up on Vista long
before I had a chance to install NAV on it. XP loves it. Seems to use resources
appropriately. "
