Latest Norton Ghost is Windows 7 Compatible and Offers Blu-ray Disc Support<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Version Now Features Cold Imaging and ThreatCon Integration\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sydney, Australia \u2013 November 18, 2009 \u2013 <\/strong>Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC), makers of Norton security software, announced today the worldwide release of Norton Ghost 15, one of the industry\u2019s most advanced PC backup and recovery solutions. Windows 7 compatible Norton Ghost 15 now offers 25G and 50G Blu-ray Disc support. This version also introduces a new cold imaging feature that images computers without installing the product.\u00a0 In addition, Norton Ghost uses Symantec\u2019s powerful ThreatCon indicator to automatically back up PCs in the event of a severe security threat.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Norton Ghost 15 is a robust and professional-grade backup solution for both home users and small businesses. With Norton Ghost, lost or damaged files can be recovered and restored in the event of a system failure, even if the computer\u2019s operating system does not start. It also allows backup of an entire system or specific files and folders while saving recovery points to offsite locations using FTP.\u00a0 Norton Ghost is also flexible, allowing users to decide when to back up their system, either on a schedule or based on an event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNorton Ghost has been the essential imaging and recovery product since 1996,\u201d said Dave Cole, senior director of consumer products, Symantec.\u00a0 \u201cConsumers PCs have never been more central to people\u2019s lives, or more at risk due to cybercrime and critical failures. Ghost 15 not only is a powerful disaster recovery tool, but also it adds important features such as Windows 7 compatibility and Blu-ray Disc support to keep current with the way people are using their computers today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition, Norton Ghost works with both 25G and 50G Blu-ray Discs and most storage drives, including external hard drives, networked drives, and recordable and rewritable CDs and DVDs.\u00a0 It also includes a hot backups feature, which lets users back up their computers without having to shut it down first.\u00a0 Norton Ghost is also supported by Windows 7 Bitlocker, providing enhanced data protection through drive encryption and integrity checking, keeping stored data safe and protected.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Norton Ghost 15 now also includes cold imaging technology, which backs up files without installing the product, saving users time and money. After purchasing a new computer, users can image the PC immediately before any software is loaded so that factory settings remain intact.\u00a0 Also, cold imaging allows easy back up of a system by simply booting to the recovery environment (a light version of the Windows operating system) from the Norton Ghost CD, and then initiating a backup.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Backing up isn\u2019t just about saving files from accidental data loss; these days computers can fall prey to damage from cybercriminals.\u00a0 That\u2019s why Norton Ghost 15 leverages Symantec\u2019s ThreatCon, which uses intelligence from Symantec Security Response to automatically backup files whenever the landscape reaches a specific threat level.<\/p>\n

Pricing and Availability<\/strong><\/p>\n

Norton Ghost 15 is now available for purchase through the Symantec Store at www.symantecstore.com.au<\/a>, for AUS$99.99 and will be available in select retail locations in the coming weeks.\u00a0 In addition, Norton offers other backup solutions including Norton Online Backup, which provides automatic protection for your important digital photos and files, and Norton 360, an all-in-one solution for protecting your PC and all your online activities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
