Norton, consumer division of Symantec Corporation, last Saturday launched their 2011 product line-up in the local market that includes Norton AntiVirus and Norton Internet Security (for Windows and Mac).
Gaurav Kanwal, consumer sales manager, India and Saarc, Symantec and Asif Mahmud, director, Computer Source, unveiled the new products at an event at a hotel in the capital.
While addressing the media, Gaurav said to combat fast-changing modern threats, Norton uses a statistical detection technique. Symantec maintains a huge database of all programmes found on computers whose owners have agreed to enable 'Norton Community' trackinghundreds of millions of them.
"If a programme hasn't already been categorised, Norton uses the database to check the programme's 'reputation.'", said Gaurav.
Apart from it, every scan result window includes a link to click if anyone thinks there's still a problem. This link opens the download page for Symantec's free Norton Power Eraser, an aggressive cleanup tool designed specifically to remove threats that may balk ordinary antivirus scans or prevent Norton from installing properly, said Gaurav.
"Our extensive network combined with Symantec's technological leadership is a formula for success. With the launch of Norton 2011 in Bangladesh, we are reinforcing our commitment to ensuring seamless availability of world class online security for consumers in Bangladesh," said Asif.
Norton Internet Security 2011 and Norton AntiVirus 2011 are now available for purchase in Bangladesh through various retailers.
