Description Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition provides automated virus protection for
workstations and network servers (application, domain controllers, file and print servers) to
maximize enterprise-wide system uptime. Centralized configuration, deployment, alerting,
and logging enables administrators to manage the network to determine which nodes are
vulnerable to virus attacks. Integrated response content from the leader in information
security helps organizations maximize uptime, reduce cost of ownership, and ensure the
integrity of their data.

Potential virus threats are automatically submitted for analysis to Symantec Security
Response, which provides repair and response content. A forensic tracing feature helps
administrators determine the source of blended threats that spread through open file
shares. Advanced behavior blocking prevents client systems from being used for
malicious outbound activities, such as sending worms via email. LiveUpdate™ technology
provides a single update to protect the enterprise from viruses, malware, and spyware.
Client compliancy technology allows the administrator to ensure that mobile and remote
systems connecting to corporate resources via VPN are compliant with security policies.
