Microsoft launched the Windows Vista operating system for their corporate customers last month. And security application maker Symantec has launched their product for this platform.

The company has made available beta versions of the Norton range of Anti-Virus products for consumers and a production version for enterprise clients. The corporate consumers can get the Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 10.2, which is designed to provide automatic defense and response against viruses and spyware/adware for the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.

Symantec claims that this corporate edition application has been redesigned to make use of the new Vista architecture. Jeremy Burton, group president, Enterprise Security and Data Management, Symantec spoke about this product release: “Businesses deploying Windows Vista are offered new opportunities but are also faced with potential security, availability, performance, and compliance risks. Symantec uniquely provides businesses of all sizes best-of-breed, Windows Vista-compatible software that helps mitigate IT risk.”

This application comes with Symantec Client Security 3.1, which provides antivirus and antispyware for client systems on the Windows Vista platform.

Rowan Trollope, vice president, Consumer Engineering, Symantec had more: “As we near the consumer Vista release scheduled for January 2007, we want to reassure our more than 50 million active users that our leading PC security products will be available from day one to protect their PCs from today’s evolving online threats. With the beta release of Vista compatible versions of Norton AntiVirus and Norton Internet Security, users of the latest Windows operating system will be able to completely secure their computers with the award-winning Norton products from Symantec.”
