What's New in Norton Internet Security 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------

- Support for Microsoft Vista.

- Support for 64bit processors on Microsoft Vista.

- New look: Norton Internet Security 2008 features a new user interface that makes it easier to perform tasks, configure settings, and get help.

- New Feature: Integrated network mapping provides a view of your home network.

- Fewer Alerts: When your computer is in a protected state, the Personal Firewall makes decisions about allowing and blocking communications to and from your computer. This automatic decision making process minimizes the number of notifications and dialog boxes that ask you what to do when a network event occurs.

- Trust Control: Detects when your computer connects to a new network. You can then allow or block connections from computers that are connected to that network.

- Security History: Security History lets you monitor the security tasks that your product performs in the background. In addition, alerts that you have received can be reviewed at any time in Security History. This means that if you cannot review an alert when you receive it, you can review it later in Security History. In addition, you can manage quarantined items in Security History.

- Support for IPv6

- Performance Improvements: Network throughput performance, Boot time performance, memory usage, and user interface performance have all been improved.

- Installation tasks have been streamlined.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Allowing applications that have been blocked by the Norton Internet Security Firewall

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Norton Internet Security 2008 is designed to automatically determine if Internet traffic should be permitted on a per-application basis. In rare cases Norton Internet Security may block a legitimate application.

If you encounter an issue accessing the Internet with an application after installing Norton Internet Security 2008, you can investigate and unblock blocked applications in the new Security History window.

Note: You should allow a blocked application only if you are certain that the application

is legitimate.

To allow an application that has been blocked:

1. In the main Norton Internet Security window, on the left side, under Quick Tasks, click View History.

2. In Security History, in the Select View drop-down list, click Firewall-Traffic.

3. Click any event that may correspond to the connectivity issue you are

having, and then click More Details.

4. Review the details of the event.

5. In the Actions section, in the Select drop-down list, click Allow.

6. Click Apply.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation on removable drives, FireWire drives, etc.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This product should not be installed on any type of storage media that may be inaccessible at times. This includes network drives, removable drives, hot-swappable drives, and USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) drives that may be disconnected.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation on multi-boot computers

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Norton Internet Security cannot be used on computers that have more than one operating system (such as Windows 98 and Windows 2000) installed on the same primary partition.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation on computers running server services

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Symantec does not support running any version of Norton Internet Security server editions of Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Order of installation for Symantec products

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The following products integrate with one another and use shared components: Norton Internet Security , Norton SystemWorks

If you need to install two or more of these products from different product release years, install them in chronological order. For example, first install Norton SystemWorks 2005, and then install Norton Internet Security 2008. If Norton Internet Security 2008 is already installed on your computer, you should uninstall it, install Norton SystemWorks 2005, and then re-install Norton Internet Security 2008.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Uninstalling Norton Internet Security

--------------------------------------------------------------------

If you need to uninstall, do not use installation-monitoring products such as Norton CleanSweep. Norton Internet Security includes an uninstaller that is specifically designed to uninstall Norton Internet Security.

To access the uninstaller, use The Add/Remove Programs option from the Windows Control Panel.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Upgrading operating systems after installing Norton Internet Security

--------------------------------------------------------------------

If you upgrade your operating system after Norton Internet Security is installed, you may encounter problems. Please run Symantec’s LiveUpdate to update Norton Internet Security prior to upgrading your operating system.

If you have already upgraded your operating system and you are encountering problems that LiveUpdate does not fix, you should uninstall and then re-install Norton Internet Security.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Browser compatibility

--------------------------------------------------------------------

-Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher / Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or higher, is required to display the product's user interface. (pre-release versions are not supported)

-Norton Internet Security is typically compatible with any web browser. Certain features, such as Phishing Protection, were designed to integrate with Internet Explorer, and they are only available when used with Internet Explorer.

Adding computers to Trust Control

To allow connections from individual computers:

1. At the left of the main window, in the Network Status section, Click "Configure" button.

2. In the "Network Security Overview" page will be displayed. Once you are finished reading the features, Click "Close" button.

3. You will see the Network Security Map page with PCs connected to your network including your own "MY PC". Click on any "Unknown" PC Icon to see the device details and Click on "Trust Level" text link.

4. In the "Edit Trust Level" window, select the trust level you want to set by clicking on the radio button next to the trust level you desire. Then click "OK" button when finished.

5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to set trust level for other PCs.
