Scores Perfect Threat Detection Rate<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Symantec security solutions earn accolades from Dennis Technology Lab, AV-Comparatives and AV-Test.org\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sydney. \u2013 Oct. 28, 2009 \u2013 <\/strong>Symantec Corp.<\/a> (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced that its industry-leading Norton security products received top reviews from three respected, independent testing bodies, Dennis Technology Lab<\/a>, AV-Comparatives.org<\/a> and AV-Test.org<\/a>. These independent reports highlight that new Symantec technologies including codename Quorum and advanced heuristics are proven to increase effectiveness in providing protection against today\u2019s real world threats. These groundbreaking technologies are currently available in the newly announced Norton 360 version 4.0 beta<\/a>, Norton Internet Security 2010 and Norton AntiVirus 2010.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese tests covered important, but very different benchmarks in security testing and yet each one arrived at the same conclusion \u2014 Norton is a best-in-class offering,\u201d said Stephen Trilling, vice president, Security Technology and Response, Symantec. \u201cSymantec\u2019s products, with our new reputation-based security technology and advanced heuristics, demonstrated their ability to protect against millions of threats while maintaining among the lowest false positive rates and the highest performance across all tested products.<\/p>\n

Dennis Technology Lab<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dennis Technology Lab recently tested the effectiveness of 10 well-known security offerings in a real-world anti-malware comparison test. Designed specifically to reflect a customer\u2019s experience as closely as possible, the test exposed each of the 10 products to genuine Internet threats the way real users could have encountered them.\u00a0 Each test system was instructed to visit genuinely infected Web sites and downloaded files exactly as an average user would.\u00a0 The report shows that Norton Internet Security2010 achieved a perfect detection rate, and was noted as \u201cthe only product to do so\u201d defending against all threats and fully protecting the system from attack or compromise. In stark contrast to the Norton results, the report noted that the average detection rate across all products tested was 78 percent.<\/p>\n
