Review: Norton Internet Security 2010

TrustDefender and the Trojan Vundo story
Even with anti-virus protection, this is the story of Vundo Trojan
infecting a protected computer anyway. A different anti-virus product
removed the Trojan, but it kept coming back, so here’s how the Trojan

to protect users from malware, viruses, rootkits, spyware and trojans,
