Symantec has recently announced new versions of their corporate anti-virus software for Microsoft Windows Vista operating systems.

Beta versions of Symantec AntiVirus 10.2 are available on the Symantec Windows Vista Information Center (http://www.symantec.com/vista/index.jsp) to current Symantec customers testing the Microsoft Vista operating system. Since Symantec's first beta version was posted in December 2005, there have been more than 70,000 downloads from customers wanting the real-time automated protection of Symantec AntiVirus while testing Microsoft's new operating system. Symantec's Vista Information Center also includes information on product compatibility with Windows Vista and information for executives considering a move to Microsoft Windows Vista.

In addition to providing comprehensive malware protection for every network tier, Symantec AntiVirus Enterprise Edition 10.2 now adds antivirus and anti-spyware client support for the Vista platform. The software not only offers adware and spyware protection for enterprise workstations and network servers, but also includes Symantec Client Security 3.1, which provides proactive client protection, anti-spyware, firewall and intrusion prevention technologies under a single console. Symantec AntiVirus Enterprise Edition also provides content filtering and spam prevention for the Internet gateway and Domino and Exchange environments.
