Explaination on Insight
Created: 24 Jan 2012 | 5 comments
Hi All,
Am not clear on Symantec Trusted and Community Trusted, can anyone have simple example to understand differences between this?
As I understand Symantec Trusted is known files of windows environment and Community Trusted means those files relates to personal software and reported to Symantec Security Response Team for verifying and they tag as clean and known files.
Please correct me. Thanks in Adv.
Regards,
M.R.

You think correctly.
This is a an explanation taken from www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO55250:
Symantec and Community Trusted
This level skips files that are trusted by Symantec and the Symantec Community.
Symantec Trusted
This level skips only files that are trusted by Symantec.
Symantec Community are all the users of Symantec products. So the files signed by Community as Trusted, are in the category "Community Trusted".
Please keep in mind that the suggested security option is "Symantec Trusted"
What are the Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) versions released officially?

Symantec Trusted : All files
Symantec Trusted : All files signed by symantec and Norton
Community Trusted: its from Norton Community

Correct.
Hello,
You are almost correct. Let me get that corrected.
Symantec Trusted are the Symantec signed Files, whereas Community Trusted are the files which are Symantec and Norton signed, Microsoft Catalog Signed, or Authenticode Signed.
and other files are based on Reputation:

Re
Thanks for the clarification but how can be sure that a Community Trusted file is safe, does Symantec Security Response Team analysed the actual files?

Hello, Yes, Community trusted
Hello,
Yes, Community trusted file is safe as Security Response Team analyse these files as well.
In case you have any doubts on a specific file you can always upload the file in zipped folder to Security Response team for confirmation.
