There have been a ton of questions on how to migrate to the new Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition.
Probably the easiest way to remember this is the following:
CROSSGRADE at RENEWAL.

For current customers on SAV CE, when you are up for renewal, simply use the cross grade sku to get SEP SBE.

Below is a great URL that gives a summary on migration paths as well as price impact:

Monitoring for virus coming from the Internet would really help in preventing infections, at least on the entry-point where a client accesses a malicious website.
My first step would be to get the reports from the SAV or SEP reporter. The file would contain information on the infection particularly the path where the infection was detected.
Internet files would be stored in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Take note of the computer name, the username, and the time of infection.

I'm using Internet Explorer History Viewer and checking the remote PCs visited sites (assuming that the user hasn't yet deleted the history) and cross checking the sites visited at the time of infection.
The application shows the history in html table format so it's easy to see the sites visited.

I also use Norton Safe Web to get additional details on the website that was visited....

When was the last time you considered your handheld or mobile device as a real threat?

There is a lot going on in the mobile security arena these days, and I'll try to explain a few of the considerations we review at Symantec, and what you can do about these new threats. Let's start off with a few basic premises for sake of discussion.

1. Smartphones play an increasingly vital role in today’s business and they frequently contain a wealth of sensitive information.
2. Smartphones represent the new computing platform paradigm for both business and leisure; however, these devices have become the new vulnerability.

So, what does this mean? As you know, many smartphones are more of a mini-computer than a phone.  As such, these devices are "endpoints."  These devices house sensitive information that is typically a blend of both professional and personal content. Lost smartphones are a serious threat for...

What changed everything was when the hackers, miscreants and ne'er-do-wells moved from fame to fortune. Once these guys figured out you could make money, malware became crimeware and nobody writes malware for bragging rights anymore. It’s for the moola.

So it’s been hard to explain Conficker/Downadup. It’s been plenty famous. But it wasn’t doing anything to make money. That changed shortly after the E variant came out. (If you can’t keep the varinants straight, don’t feel bad. Most people can’t. Want to see a terrific visual explanation? Check out the video Ben Narhorney put together to explain it all. You can see it on the Symantec Security Response YouTube channel. There are other great videos there too.

So how did Conficker move to fortune? Well it wasn’t by changing its own behavior. It was much more simple than that. It downloaded...
