Adobe, ING DIRECT and Intel to distribute Norton security offerings.

Symantec have announced the expansion of their consumer reach with three new partnerships to distribute Norton security software to consumers. Norton Security Scan, an easy-to-use PC scanning tool that informs users if they've been infected with viruses and/or spyware, will be offered to consumers that install the Adobe[R] Shockwave[TM] Player. Norton Internet Security, an industry leading security solution that identifies and protects against new and emerging online threats, will be available for download through the ING DIRECT Web site. In addition, further expanding its relationship with Symantec, Intel will offer its Intel authorized system builders a complimentary 90 day subscription of Norton 360, the company's flagship consumer product, for installation on white box systems that are sold to end-users. "Through these agreements, our partners are helping their customers by arming them with powerful tools that help them identify, understand and deal with threats that may reside on their PCs" commented Symantec.
