threats and privacy intrusions.
Personal Firewall
Protects your computer from Internet attacks, dangerous Web content, port scans, and other suspicious behavior.
Spam filtering features
As email becomes more popular, many users are receiving an increasing amount of the unsolicited commercial
email messages known as spam. Not only does spam make it difficult to identify valid email messages, some
spam contains offensive messages and images.
Norton AntiSpam incorporates several powerful features to reduce your exposure to unwanted online content.
Ad blocking features
Many Web sites are using more aggressive techniques to draw attention to the ads on their pages. Some have
begun using larger, more prominent ads, while others rely on ad windows that appear when you enter or
leave the site. Along with increasing the amount of time that it takes to display Web pages, some ads contain
offensive content, cause software conflicts, or use HTML tricks to open additional browser windows.
