Whole Security - SONAR 3

SONAR 3

SONAR 3 came with Norton 2011 public beta. It is currently available for Norton 2010 customers with legitimate subscriptions through update, Norton 2011 customers and Norton 360 v.5 public beta users. SONAR 3 is fine-tuned to better detect fake antivirus software and it is better integrated with the network component. " In SONAR 3 we have further enhanced our integration with the network component in order to classify, convict, and remediate malware on the basis of its malicious network activity. With this feature in place, we will continue to block and remove many new variants of malware that leave their network footprint unchanged." According to Symantec it is now monitoring about 400 aspects of each application to determine whether it is safe or harmfull.
