Lenovo and Acer to roll out with Norton security

Norton Internet Security will be available on Lenovo Think-branded PCs – including ThinkPad laptops, ThinkCentre desktops and ThinkStation workstations – worldwide, in multiple languages.  The Norton Internet Security software will be pre-loaded as a full-featured, 30-day subscription, at no extra charge.
The second agreement is with Acer, which will include Norton Online Backup, a web-based backup service on select products worldwide. Customers can use a 30-day trial version of Norton Online Backup with 5GB of online storage to backup files from up to five PCs at no extra charge. 
Says Peter Schrady, vice president and general manager, Software, Peripherals and Enterprise Products, Lenovo: “This security solution complements Lenovo’s full suite of hardware and software based security offerings including ThinkVantage Technologies like Hardware Password Manager for managing full hard drive encryption and Lenovo Lost and Found to help in reuniting lost ThinkPad laptops with their owners.”
