What's new and improved:
Stronger Security and Data Protection
With Norton Security Console and Norton Security Inspector, customers have a simple and easy way to view browser security settings, Windows password strength, and risks within hidden shared folders, as well as unneeded services. Simplified fix and undo functions make it easy for anyone to use, even if they have limited computer knowledge. Less User Interaction Required
With its smart learning feature, Norton Internet Security 2006 improves its out-of-thebox protection.
The application learn mode function requires less interaction during installation by finding and automatically configuring the firewall so that customers can continue to use all of their favorite software without being constantly interrupted with security questions. Firewall alerts deliver a more streamlined experience by informing the user of the threat level an application represents when connecting to the Internet. Adaptive Personalized Protection
The new Norton Protection Center is a common console that automatically/dynamically tailors itself to an individual user's preferences, behavior and environment to provide a personalized view of their computer protection status.
