Do you think Avira and/or Avast technologies will be integrated into Norton products?

[QUOTE="Anthony Qian, post: 954849, member: 91446"] I use Norton for a long time and I think Norton can improve in the following 3 areas: [LIST=1] [*]Cloud protection. Avira's APC is an excellent example of good cloud protection. Norton takes hours to respond to new threats, whereas APC can respond in seconds. [*]False positive rate. Norton's detections, especially WS.Reputation.1 and Heur.AdvML.B, have a high FP rate. [*]Behavior detection. Norton's SONAR depends heavily on Internet connection and cannot recover encrypted files. [/LIST] I think it will be difficult to merge the AV signatures because Symantec (Norton), Avira, and Avast use different methods to detect threats. Instead, merging cloud reputation datebases is possible. [/QUOTE]
