  The majority of new viruses are spread through email. The VirusScan WormStopper eliminates new mass-mailing worms by detecting activity that might indicate a new, undetected worm is active on your PC.
  
  
• Hostile Activity Watch Kernel (HAWK TM )
  The Hostile Activity Watch Kernel (HAWK TM ) constantly monitors your computer for virus-like activity providing even more protection for Internet-based threats. It looks for events that may indicate new mass-mailers, or attachments with double file extensions. By monitoring for these typically malicious activities, HAWK notifies you and lets you take action before damage occurs. HAWK saves you time, and possibly data and money, that could be lost by virus infiltration.

  VirusScan 8.0 checks all entry points to your computer including the synchronization process with your PDA. By eliminating threats that could be transmitted during PDA synchronization, the integrity of your system cannot be threatened by the PDA entry point and your system is more secure.
