How They Attack (Vulnerabilities):
Vulnerabilities are flaws in computer
software that create weaknesses in the overall security of the
computer or network. Vulnerabilities can also be created by improper
computer or security configurations. Threats exploit the weaknesses
of vulnerabilities resulting in potential damage to the computer
or personal data.
How Do You Know:
Companies announce vulnerabilities as
they are discovered and quickly work to fix the vulnerabilities
with software and security "patches"
What To Do:
Keep software and security patches up
to date.
Configure security settings for operating system, internet browser
and security software.
Develop personal security policies for online behavior.
Install a proactive security solution like "Norton Internet
Security" to block threats targeting vulnerabilities.

How They Attack (SPAM):
Email SPAM is the electronic version
of junk mail. It involves sending unwanted messages, often unsolicited
advertising, to a large number of recipients. SPAM is a serious
security concern as it can be used to deliver Trojan horses, viruses,
worms, spy ware, and targeted phishing attacks.

Messages that do not include your email address in the TO: or
CC: fields are common forms of SPAM
Some SPAM can contain offensive language or links to Web sites
with inappropriate content

Install SPAM filtering/blocking software
If you suspect an email is SPAM, do not respond, just delete it
Consider disabling the email’s preview pane and reading
emails in plain text
Reject all Instant Messages from persons who are not on your Buddy
list
Do not click on URL links within IM unless from a known source
and expected
Keep software and security patches up to date
Spy Ware Removal and Protection
How They Attack Spy ware (Spy ware):
can be downloaded from Web sites, email
messages, instant messages, and from direct file-sharing connections.
Additionally, a user may unknowingly receive spy ware by accepting
an End User License Agreement from a software program.
How Do You Know:
Spy ware frequently attempts to remain
unnoticed, either by actively hiding or by simply not making its
presence on a system known to the user
What
To Do:
Use Norton Internet Security to proactively
protect from spy ware and other security risks
Configure the firewall in Norton Internet Security to block unsolicited
requests for outbound communication
Do not accept or open suspicious error dialogs from within the
browser
Spy ware may come as part of a "free deal" offer - do
not accept free deals
Always read carefully the End User License agreement at Install
time and cancel if other “programs” are being installed
as part of the desired program
Keep software and security patches up to date
Phishing Protection
How They Attack (Phishing):
Phishing is essentially an online con game and phishers are nothing
more than tech-savvy con artists and identify thieves. They use
SPAM, malicious Web sites, email messages and instant messages
to trick people into divulging sensitive information, such as
bank and credit card accounts.
How Do You:
Known Phishers, pretending to be legitimate
companies, may use email to request personal information and direct
recipients to respond through malicious web sites.
Phishers tend to use emotional language using scare tactics or
urgent requests to entice recipients to respond.
The phish sites can look remarkably like legitimate sites because
they tend to use the copyrighted images from legitimate sites.
Requests for confidential information via email or Instant Message
tend to not be legitimate.
Fraudulent messages are often not personalized and may share similar
properties like details in the header and footer.
How Can You Help:
If a legitimate Web page has been misidentified
as a known or suspicious phish site, please report this misidentified
page to the Symantec Security Response team at Submit false positive
phish Web page .Norton Authenticated Web page has been verified
by Symantec as belonging to the company represented. Please use
the Norton Authenticated Request Form for legitimate Web sites
you want to be evaluated as Norton Authenticated.
Malware Protection
How They Attack (Malware):
Malware is a category of malicious code
that includes viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. Destructive malware
will utilize popular communication tools to spread, including
worms sent through email and instant messages, Trojan horses dropped
from web sites, and virus-infected files downloaded from peer-to-peer
connections. Malware will also seek to exploit existing vulnerabilities
on systems making their entry quiet and easy.
How Do You Know:
Malware works to remain unnoticed, either
by actively hiding or by simply not making its presence on a system
known to the user
What To Do:
Only open email or IM attachments that
come from a trusted source and that are expected.
Have email attachments scanned by Norton Internet Security prior
to opening.
Delete all unwanted messages without opening.
Do not click on Web links sent by someone you do not know.
If a person on your Buddy list is sending strange messages, files,
or web site links, terminate your IM session.

them to your system.
