Symantec's program includes a solid firewall that excels at keeping unauthorized computers at bay.  It also offers convenience by reducing the unnecessary warnings about granting access to popular web browsers, such as Internet Explorer and Firefox.  This software does however, display an important warning when detecting an unsecured wireless connection.  It includes a confidential toolbar that blocks out phishing web sites and the Browser Defender utility that checks for exploits in versions 6 and 7 of Internet Explorer.  While Symantec's new product does come equipped with parental control options; these features are readily available for download on their website.

Many Internet users are unaware that most anti-virus programs quickly become out of date as new and more sophisticated viruses enter the world of cyber-space everyday.

Anti-virus software must be consistently updated in order to remain effective. In some cases it is necessary to buy an entirely new program to help keep your computer virus free.

Most anti-virus programs allow you to update the original program by downloading the newest and most recent updates to their virus protection system. These updates can then provide protection for your computer against new strands of viruses waiting to infect your computer.
