View real-time threats detected by Norton Behavioral Protection

Behavioral Protection provides real-time protection against threats and proactively detects unknown security risks. Behavioral Protection identifies emerging threats based on the behavior of applications, which is quicker than the traditional signature-based threat detection. It helps protect you against malicious code even before virus definitions are available through LiveUpdate.

Behavioral Protection should be kept turned on always. When Auto-Protect is turned off, Behavioral Protection is also disabled and your computer is not protected against emerging threats.
