Norton delivers the industry’s number-one online-threat detection rating, fastest performance and new, free Norton Power Eraser

Viruses, cybercriminals, and other threats can make the Internet a dangerous place, even in Kenya.  But you can now protect yourself with the recently launched, Norton Internet Security 2011 available for purchase in Kenya. The fastest, lightest security suite you can buy, Norton Internet Security 2011 safeguards your computer without slowing it down. You’ll enjoy rock-solid security without sacrificing performance.

Norton Internet Security 2011 helps prevent cybercriminals from stealing your identity and hard-earned money when you search, surf, shop, socialise, and bank online. Improved Norton Safe Web warns you of unsafe websites and suspicious online merchants right in your search results. It even blocks known malicious sites to help keep you from getting scammed.

Norton Identity Safe remembers and secures your user names and passwords and then automatically enters them for you when you bank, shop, or socialise online. It prevents eavesdropping cybercriminals from swiping your information and saves you time.

Norton Internet Security 2011 also detects and eliminates viruses, spyware, and other threats, letting you email, chat, and download files without getting or passing on threats to family and friends.

Norton Pulse Updates provide mini-updates every 5–15 minutes, without interrupting you or slowing down your computer, to help ensure you are protected against new threats that appear. And in an emergency, new Norton Rescue Tools can help you get even severely infected computers up and running fast.

Norton Internet Security 2011 even identifies problems that could affect your computer’s performance and notifies you when an application is slowing your computer’s performance or using up system resources.

Norton is offering powerful free tools for consumers, regardless of the security they use, to provide all computers with a deeper level of protection. One of these free tools is Norton Power Eraser, which aggressively targets and eliminates the latest threats, including fake antivirus or ‘scareware’ programs. Fake antivirus programs imitate legitimate software and provide a way for cybercriminals to swindle consumers out of huge sums of money each year. Norton Power Eraser is freely available online and as a link within the 2011 Norton products.

The manufacturer’s suggested retail price for Norton Internet Security 2011 is US$ 69.99 for a three-PC license, which includes a one-year service subscription to use the product and receive Symantec’s protection updates.  Norton AntiVirus costs US$ 59.99 and both are available in Kenya and from the Symantec online store (http://store.norton.com/).
