Product description
Norton protection also uses "emulation" (running each file in a lightweight virtual machine) to cause online threats to reveal themselves - this happens in milliseconds as you double-click on files on your desktop. File signature data is now stored in the cloud, and Norton protection has undergone hundreds of optimizations on the antivirus engine to minimize impacting the user experience.
