Symantec's New Norton AntiVirus 10.0 for Macintosh Offers Enhanced Usability and Customization Features, "Tiger" Compatibility
Symantec has announced Norton AntiVirus 10.0 for Macintosh, which is scheduled to be widely available in May, and includes a new Global Threat Assessment dashboard to provide users with an overview of current virus threats. The product also includes a new Contextual Menu support feature and custom SafeZones for improved ease-of-use and efficiency. Norton AntiVirus 10.0 for Macintosh is also fully compatible with Apple's new version of Mac OS X 10.4 -- "Tiger."
"In today's fast paced online threat environment, it is important for Symantec to offer secure protection at all end points," said Matthew Moynahan, vice president Consumer Products and Solutions, for Symantec. "With Norton AntiVirus 10.0 for Macintosh, Symantec is pleased to add new customization and usability enhancements to support Mac users with the best possible virus protection solution, as well as support Apple's new Mac OS X 10.4."
New Global Threat Assessment Dashboard
Norton AntiVirus 10.0 for Macintosh includes a new Global Threat Assessment dashboard that provides the status of local computer virus protection and an overview of global threats allowing users to quickly and efficiently monitor their Macs' security. This new feature leverages "Tiger's" new dashboard functionality to offer the user a report and assessment of the three most recent and the three most critical virus threats on both the PC and Mac platforms. Norton AntiVirus also leverages the Symantec Security Response servers to download the most up-to-date threat information.
The Global Threat Assessment dashboard also allows users to easily monitor their security protection by showing the status information for Norton AntiVirus's Auto-Protect feature. Users can also use the dashboard to quickly view the last time virus definitions were updated.
Contextual Menu Support and Custom SafeZones
Norton AntiVirus 10.0 for Macintosh offers users the enhanced convenience of quick and easy manual virus scans. The contextual menu support feature lets users scan files and directories "on the fly" by right clicking/control clicking on a particular file or directory. Users can scan specific files and directories manually without having to launch the Norton AntiVirus application.
Designed with power users in mind, the custom SafeZones feature gives users an added level of convenience and works to optimize system performance. Users can specify particular areas of their drive, or specific volumes or files, to be or not to be routinely scanned for threats. Video and media editors, for example, with huge directories or volumes, can specify a SafeZone, to avoid time consuming scans of their entire hard drive. Smart volume scanning also allows Norton AntiVirus 10.0 for Macintosh to remember previously scanned CD or DVD media to eliminate unnecessary scans and keep users' machines running at peak performance.
Continued Core Protection
Norton AntiVirus 10.0 for Macintosh continues to offer important core protection features such as automatic detection of viruses, worms and Trojan horse threats. Auto-Protect functionality maximizes user protection by providing email scanning and monitoring of files and applications that get written to the hard dive. Symantec's LiveUpdate technology allows users to automatically receive the latest virus definitions for both Mac and PC viruses to always keep protection current. Norton AntiVirus 10.0 for Macintosh is also backed by the experts at Symantec Security Response to ensure users have the most advanced protection.
Norton AntiVirus 10.0 for Macintosh runs on Mac OS X and Mac OS 9 and is available now for pre-order at http://www.SymantecStore.com for an estimated retail price of $69.95. Current users of Symantec's Macintosh products, as well as users of select competitive products, can take advantage of an upgrade mail-in-rebate of $30.

Elgato Releases EyeConnect - UPnP AV Media Streaming Software for the Mac
Elgato Systems, creators of the award-winning digital TV recorder EyeTV for the Mac, today officially released EyeConnect, the Macintosh market's first fully integrated media streaming software based on Universal Plug and Play Audio/Video (UPnP AV). EyeConnect enables digital music, video, or photo content, including EyeTV recordings, iPhotos and iTunes stored on a Macintosh, to be played on a broad variety of UPnP AV certified devices throughout the home. EyeConnect supports all digital media formats and is capable of streaming slideshows, music and even HDTV in full video quality with Dolby Digital sound (see note).
Starting today EyeConnect can be purchased online at http://www.elgato.com for USD 99.00. A free, 30-day trial version is available for download.
``CES 2005 was bursting with announcements about new media players and devices that will revolutionize the media experience in the living room,'' says Freddie Geier, Elgato's CEO. ``Elgato's EyeConnect media streaming software addresses this rapidly growing market for home networking. In the first four months of this year the market has already seen a broad range of consumer electronic brands announcing their UPnP AV solutions. We want to give the Mac community the freedom of choice for their favorite living room equipment.''
The research company In-Stat ( http://www.instat.com ) expects media networking to continue to grow rapidly over the next few years. The integration of media ports into CE devices will continue, with many devices having Ethernet and 802.11x ports standard in coming years. Total media networking connections will grow from over 51 million in 2005 to over 223 million in 2009, a 29% annual growth rate. Much of the growth will be driven by PC vendors, who are rolling out Media Center PCs that fit both in look and function in the living room.
EyeConnect - Mac Entertainment unleashed With EyeConnect software, Mac users can effortlessly manage the wired or wireless streaming of stored multimedia content to multiple devices in a connected home environment. EyeConnect automatically determines the digital media formats supported by the UPnP AV certified device, which typically include MP3, AAC, JPG MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and many more. As an added benefit, the content remains organized as found in the user's Macintosh library. In addition, EyeConnect supports HDTV content as well as Dolby Digital (see note).
EyeConnect works with all UPnP AV devices and was tested successfully with the following products: Philips Streamium (SL300i, SL400i and MX6000i), Netgear MP115, D-Link DSM-320 MediaLounge, Buffalo LinkTheater PC-P3LWG/DVD, GoVideo D2730. These devices and many more like them support UPnP AV, which is a broadly accepted industry standard that enables digital content to be identified, managed, and distributed across multiple devices. It is supported by a wide range of consumer electronics companies including major players like HP, Netgear, Panasonic, Philips, Pioneer, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba and many more.
What is UPnP AV technology? UPnP AV (Universal Plug 'n Play) technology is an open networking architecture that employs TCP/IP and other Internet technologies for a seamless flow of digital content through a home. UPnP AV products work easily with each other and do not require complex configuration. EyeConnect supports the growing number of brand name digital media devices certified for UPnP AV.

Ergonis Software Releases Typinator Public Beta
Typinator automates entry of repetitive text and graphics across applications Hagenberg, Austria: May 10, 2005 — Ergonis Software today released Typinator Public Beta, a preview version of Typinator 1.0 for Mac OS X. Typinator, a typing automator, enables users to rapidly insert text and images into any type of application. Like PopChar, Ergonis Software’s widely used tool for inserting special characters into text, Typinator’s intuitive interface and ease-of-use result in immediate productivity gains, even for non-technical users.
Everyone, from office worker to executive, has experienced the tedium of repetitive, robotic typing. Even more frustrating are the errors that creep into re-typed text. While some applications, like word processors, may offer some typing automation capabilities, this support does not extend to other software applications. Developers also face similar frustrations, especially when using multiple development environments.
Typinator speeds repetitive typing tasks and eliminates manually introduced errors. To set up an often-used text or image in Typinator, you simply define an abbreviation along with its replacement text or image. When you enter the abbreviation in any application, Typinator will automatically expand it.
For business users, Typinator provides a layer of operational consistency and productivity across heterogeneous applications. A standard customer service response, a signature image on an email, a clause in a contract — each of these can be inserted into an application with just a couple of keystrokes. For technical users, Typinator automates typing of code and the implementation of documentation standards.
Two additional Typinator features greatly increase its practical value. You can define replacement text that contains an automatic insertion of the current date and time in any format you specify. Creating an order acknowledgement or shipping confirmations with this feature is a snap. You can also define abbreviations that are case sensitive, so that the replacement text will appear correctly at either the beginning or elsewhere in a sentence.
Typinator Public Beta is available for Mac OS X 10.3 or later and is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 (”Tiger”). Ergonis Software distributes its Mac products of under the Macility brand name. Visit the Macility web site at http://www.macility.com/typinator to learn more about Typinator and to download a free trial version. Typinator Public Beta, including a free upgrade to Typinator 1.0, can be purchased on the web site for $14.99 (a 25% savings off the Typinator 1.0 release price.)
