Threatfire (a very similar product) doesn't prevent low-level disk access, so I wouldn't rely on Norton Antibot to provide protection against this very specific threat. As I've said, the best protection against low-level disk access is using a LUA.

OTOH, Norton Antibot is a good behav. bocker.

Where can I download this new version? At the Symantec site I can't see where it is... and when I try to update I get the following from Symantec:

Good News! Your Norton AntiBot subscription is current. There is no need to renew at this time. and No updates available. My product version is 1.0.1310.

Hello,
Can it stand with KIS? Does it include LiveUpdate as I don't like to use LiveUpdate for only AntiBot

It feels light but it takes up CPU Time so may be a drain on older machines.
