Community Watch improves user security and product
functionality. In addition, it helps Symantec to analyze
the execution, schedule, and efficiency of
Norton-specific tasks and settings on your computer.

following types of data:
1 Identified malicious software such as portable
executable files and running processes
1 Any Web site URL that your product identifies as
fraudulent
1 All the Web site URLs that you visited before the
