In an attempt to keep its consumer security software from bogging down computers, Symantec is looking in a different direction. Currently, its security software embeds itself into a PC operating system to scan for behavior that indicates malware. However, in the upcoming release of Norton 360 for example, Symantec will incorporate a new statistical approach to detecting malware. Instead of directly linking to the OS, it will search for patterns. This method is theoretically less likely to bog down a system. On a broader scale, Symantec is trying to make its next generation of products faster and less of a drag on PCs in general. Its new goal for installation time is less than one minute, a number that currently ranges from 8-10 minutes. Another goal is reducing the size of programs by four times.
