Norton antivirus beta defies cyber threats

NORTON’S Anti Virus version 2010, the new antivirus software released in March 2009 Symantec Corp., aims to identify in advance the viruses and malwares that might affect computers with online-application access.

The new detection method called reputation-based (quorum) reveals malicious activity or programs before it can be clicked or downloaded by a user based on the number of users, publisher and origin.

“This detection explains where the threat came from and what it may cause to applications installed in a user’s system. It provides ‘insights before install,’” explained David Hall, security expert and regional consumer product marketing manager of Symantec in Asia-Pacific told reporters during a live teleconference.

Although other detection methods in the form of signature, uncovering threats and comparing it to archived virus, and heuristic, concealing malicious activity through file analysis and file emulation, are still helpful, these two can no longer recognize recently released malware samples.

The executive shared that failure to identify such malware and threats could lead the threat to their proliferation in a system and even hide underneath an operating system, thus, even when safe boot is carried out, the condition of the system remains the same.

With an average of 200 million malware spread on the Web every month, according to Symantec, protection of users extending to that of other computer users are always at risk.

To prove the effectivity and efficiency of Norton Beta, AV-test.org conducted an observation of the product on July 6 using operating platforms of Windows XP and Vista.

It noted, “We have tested the dynamic [behavior-based] detection with a few recently released malware samples which are not yet detected by heuristics, signatures or the ‘in the cloud’ features and found that about 80 percent of them are properly identified and remove virus from computer.”

Inside Microsoft’s anti-virus

Microsoft recently officially announced its free, real-time consumer anti-malware solution for fighting viruses, spyware, rootkits and trojans.

Termed Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE), it aims to help users fight the threats that plague Windows PCs which are traditionally considered more prone to malware attacks than their Mac and Linux brethrens.

Microsoft described MSE as "a no-cost anti-malware solution that provides consumers with quality protection from threats including viruses, spyware, rootkits and trojans."

Here's a peek into the Microsoft's free security software.

Previously code-named 'Morro', MSE is the company's new anti-virus/anti-spyware for basic use. The programme replaces subscription-based OneCare service.

A beta of MSE was released recently in English and Brazilian Portuguese for public download at microsoft.com/security_essentials for the first 75,000 users.

The company is likely to release a second public build, either a Beta Refresh or a Release Candidate by September. Microsoft aims to release the final product "before the end of the year".

While OneCare offered a Managed Firewall, PC Performance Tuning, Data Backup and Restore, Multi-PC Management, and Printer Sharing, MSE is reportedly closer to Forefront Client Security, Microsoft's antivirus product for the enterprise.

MSE will not have some of OneCare's features such as backup management, wireless network management and optimisation.

MSE will offer antivirus basics, including built-in and customisable scan options, a scheduler, automatic definition file updates, a real-time defense shield and rootkit protection. Unlike Windows Live OneCare, MSE will not require a Windows Live ID, or any personal information. It will however, require WGA validation

Available free of cost, the programme is thrifty on resource usage, making it ideal for low-bandwidth scenarios as well as on less powerful PCs. According to Microsoft it is suitable for even low-powered PCs such as Netbooks.

The software weighs in a rough 3MB for a 32-bit version and 7MB for a 64-bit version.


According to reports, Microsoft Security Essentials comes with a new feature called Dynamic Signature Service that checks for malware even before the malware's specific signature has been identified.

Microsoft says Security Essentials copies the behaviour of programmes before they run, and uses the signature created during the process to look for any suspicious behaviour. The Dynamic Signature Service then determines what action needs to be taken against the potential malware.

The programme also offers real-time protection, and warns if a user is downloading malware or if the system has been infected. The software scans the system once a week by default. MSE will compete with rival subscription programmes from McAfee and Symantec and with several other free packages.

Microsoft offers free Anti-virus

A trial version of Microsoft's liberated anti-virus code has been launched in the US, China, Brazil, and Israel.

Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) promises to provide grouping with base protection against viruses, trojans, rootkits and spyware.

The code giant has been criticised in the time for imperfectness to include liberated section code with Windows.

Its first section package, Windows Live OneCare, failed to attract some customers and will be discontinued.

Microsoft is hoping that MSE, available as a liberated download from its site, will prove more popular. It has said it will automatically update it for users.

However, rival section vendors have questioned whether Microsoft can compete with more established anti-virus players.

\"Early reviews of the beta are display that it under-performs when compared to existing freeware products, and substantially below paid solutions,\" said section firm Symantec in a statement.

\"Referring to Microsoft's base anti-virus and anti-spyware creation as an essential section resolution is misleading. Consumers requirement firewall protection, web protection, anti-spam and identity safeguards,\" it said.

J.R Smith, chief executive of section firm AVG, said Microsoft's entry into the section market could \"further confuse consumers most the inexplicit section of their computer\".

\"It's important to discern that Microsoft's persona in the internet section demesne is much like your relationship with your trusty kinsfolk doctor. They can support diagnose the problems. In addition, they treat some general ailments. In the end, though, they are not a replacement for a specialist when you requirement one,\" he said.

Initially 75,000 trial versions of MSE, codenamed Morro, will be available in the US, Brazil, China and Israel.
