Symantec has entered into an agreement to distribute Norton Internet Security on Lenovo Think-branded PCs, including ThinkPad laptops, ThinkCentre desktops and ThinkStation workstations, worldwide, in multiple languages.
The company said that its Norton Internet Security will detect and block online threats. In addition, it also provides layers of security, including browser protection, anti-spyware and identity protection.

Peter Schrady, vice president and general manager of software, peripherals and enterprise products, at Lenovo, said: “Lenovo and Symantec’s similar focus on providing unparalleled security and performance to business customers, especially the growing small to medium business market, makes Norton Internet Security a valuable addition to our portfolio of services included with our Think PCs.”
