According to Symantec, the new Norton Internet Security 2009 and Norton AntiVirus 2009 will set a new industry standard for speed and performance.

The Norton 2009 products were designed with a “zero-impact” performance goal, supported by more than 300 improvements that span nearly every aspect of the product, from the scanning engines to the user interface.

Reengineered for speed, Norton 2009 includes hundreds of performance enhancements and introduces new technologies including:

 * Community intelligence-driven Norton Insight technology removes the need to scan common files, thus greatly reducing the number of files that have to be scanned regularly
    * Pulse Updates every 5 to 15 minutes deliver the latest protection updates faster than any other competitor

 

Norton 2009 includes the Norton Protection System, a multilayered system of technologies that work in concert to stop threats before they impact you. The Norton Protection System includes:

    * Industry-leading browser protection for both Firefox and IE safeguards you from Web-based attacks
    * Enhanced Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) engine for multimedia attacks
    * SONAR advanced protection for real-time protection from unknown threats
