Side-effect repair automatically cleans up registry entries, files, and load points after hard-to-find spyware infections. Administrators can set their own security spyware and adware policies on an application-by-application basis, and gain maximum control over protection settings via the existing Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition management console. Enhanced client tamper protection helps guard against unauthorized access and attacks.

An optional add-on subscription service, Symantec Premium AntiSpam, powered by Brightmail technology and response, enables organizations to achieve high detection rates of over 95% and the industry’s highest accuracy rate against false positives (99.9999%).1,2 Multi-layered spam prevention leverages multiple filtering technologies – including spam signatures, heuristics, reputation filters, language identification, and proprietary methods – with automatic updates occurring every 5-10 minutes. No new software or hardware is required, and the service requires no additional IT administration or tuning once deployed.
