Description:

Norton AntiVirus 2001 is a desktop anti-virus solution that protects users from viruses, worms and other malicious code. It features an improved LiveUpdate feature and new SmartScan technology. LiveUpdate automatically senses an open Internet connection then checks and automatically retrieves and installs any available virus definition updates, which ensures that users have the most up-to-date protection against malicious code. New SmartScan technology intelligently finds all files with executable code that must be scanned for viruses, thus eliminating the need to scan all files in the system, providing unmatched protection and performance. SmartScan also improves file-scanning performance and minimizes the system impact of constant background monitoring for viruses in AutoProtect. Norton AntiVirus 2001 provides users a bootable CD allowing them to easily startup their systems in the event of an emergency situation. Also included is a utility which assists users in creating emergency boot disks if their computer will not support a bootable CD. Norton AntiVirus 2001 continues to scan e-mail automatically as it is received, detecting viruses in attachments before the user accesses the attachment, eliminating the risk of unknowingly forwarding the virus to others.
