Blocks spyware and viruses with advanced protection

Product Information

What makes Norton AntiVirus a smart choice?  You're not only protecting yourself, but you're also preventing the spread of infected files to family, friends, and others.  From the moment you install it, Norton AntiVirus continuously and automatically detects, removes, and blocks spyware, viruses, and other security risks.  And, when exchanging files through email or instant messaging (IM), Norton AntiVirus scans and cleans attachments.

Whether you send and receive files, surf the Internet, or download software, Norton AntiVirus is always working in the background to protect you from viruses and spyware. 

Norton AntiVirus 2008 with Antispyware blocks spyware automatically, detects and removes viruses and worms, and prevents virus-infected emails from spreading.  Includes protection updates and new product features as available throughout the renewable service period.  The Security technologies include Antispyware, Antivrus, Internet Worm Protection, and Rootkit Detection.
