Symantec security software bundled with Intel mobos

Symantec Corp will help safeguard users of Intel desktop motherboards worldwide by providing Internet security checking and access to security protection through the new Intel desktop utilities solution. Users will be given the option to scan their computers for potential security risks from viruses, hackers and privacy threats. 

Intel desktop utilities will allow users to monitor and control system variables using a tabbed interface. One of the tabs in the
new Intel desktop utilities will be marked security. When users select that tab, they will have the opportunity to purchase Norton internet security via download or they can click on a link to go to an Intel co-branded version of Symantec security check to review the security of their PC. The Intel desktop utilities feature will be included with all Intel-branded motherboards shipped worldwide beginning in mid-2004. 

"We are pleased to extend Symantec´s award-winning internet security solution to Intel customers around the globe", says Matthew Moynahan, VP, Product Management, Symantec. By teaming Norton Internet security with Symantec security check, users can test their computers for known vulnerabilities and then install an all-in-one solution to help protect their computers from these threats.
