Gerry Egan, Product Manager for Symantec, explains the new Reputation-based security technology in the upcoming Norton 2010 product release.

The wait is over. Apple has, finally, entered the tablet market with the iPad. Mike Romo, Sr. Product Manager for Mac products, has some initial thoughts...

In an early-2009 literary flourish we condemned spammers to hell, discussed the Tedroo spambot’s increased momentum due to the shutdown of other botnets, posted screenshots of the Tedroo spewed pharmaceutical spam and related scam sites, and noted its distribution via malicious pdf files. Tedroo’s increased presence and its distribution is continuing into 2010.

Over time, once-zippy computers can start to lag, getting bogged down with unnecessary programs, too many temporary files, broken registry keys and all sorts of other digital gunk. Today we're announcing the newest weapon in the fight against PC sluggishness and data loss.

Bad reruns used to be limited to summer TV programming. With Microsoft Security Essentials, bad reruns have now come to consumer security. But instead of just being boring and unoriginal, this rerun leaves consumers dangerously under-protected.

Symantec Senior Development Manager Gavin Anderson explains Norton SafeWeb Technology:

We’re excited to tell you about the new and improved version of Norton Safe Search, now available as part of the Norton Internet Security 2010 public beta. Norton Safe Search takes the site ratings provided by Norton Safe Web a step further by delivering a fully customized search results page with built-in security features such as filtering out unsafe sites, an interstitial warning page, Privacy Safeguard, and other options such as allowing users to display only safe shopping sites.

It’s G.I. Joe week here at Norton, and to celebrate the upcoming movie, we want to give you stuff.

Gerry Egan, Product Manager for Symantec, explains the new Quorum technology in the upcoming Norton 2010 product release.

There's evidence that the Conficker botnet (oh, did you really think they distributed those millions of bots without a plan to monetize them?) is now being used on a "for hire" basis. A story from the UK referencing a new report from Cisco, states that malware called Waledec is being distributed via Conficker's millions of infected computers. Waledec uses your system to send out spam and spread itself to other computers.
