Keep the front door securely locked

Whenever you're connected to the Internet, your computer is exposed to many hidden dangers. Like a house with a lock on the front door, your computer needs some form of security. Norton Internet Security 2006 offers a protection package to keep you and your system safe online.

The threats come in many forms, including viruses, worms, hacker attacks, spyware and trojan horses.

Between them they can destroy your files, compromise your sensitive and financial information, bombard you with spam and expose you to inappropriate material.

Norton Internet Security 2006 combines a number of Norton products in one convenient application, including Norton AntiVirus, Norton Personal Firewall, Norton Privacy Control, Norton AntiSpam and Norton Parental Control.

Before loading the application it performs a system check-up and anti-virus scan to avoid any installation problems. Users are offered the choice of a regular or custom installation, which will allow control of different user accounts on your PC as well as parental controls.

After installation and online registration of the software, Norton Internet Security 2006 offers 12 months of protection updates, to ward off even the most dynamic threats.

The application will give PC users peace of mind when they are on the Internet. No vicious viruses, no being redirected to unwanted sites and none of those annoying pop-ups.

Even performing financial transactions, such as Net banking, is safe with the use of Norton, which locks out identity thieves and hackers.

Without protection, opening unknown e-mail attachments exposes your PC to viral infection. But Norton scans mail for threats before it lands.

Parents can take some comfort in the fact the application has controls to keep pornographic or violent material away from children. The software also allows the PC administrator to limit applications children can use online, including chat and newsgroup software. Norton Internet Security 2006 offers solid protection for all online activities.
