Symantec launches next-generation anti-virus beta

Symantec will launch the first public beta of its next-generation corporate
anti-virus software, Endpoint Protection 11.0, at its annual Symantec Vision conference next week.

The product has been available to a select group of beta testers since March, under the codename Hamlet. Symantec would not reveal Hamlet's official product name, but it is listed on the Vision conference website. Hamlet will be a follow-up to Symantec's AntiVirus Corporate Edition, version 10.

The new software is a major advance for Symantec, which has been working
for more than a year to integrate firewall, zero-day protection and network access control features into its anti-virus product.
