- Enhance the security of the Internet
"Symantec™ VIP is a powerful, additional layer of security that
links your PC to the online account, VPN or application that you select, decreasing
the ability of thieves to access your accounts and information from another
PC. Created jointly by industry leaders Intel® and Symantec, and available
through select member websites, VIP helps ensure that only you can access
your online accounts and websites. When you log into any of the hundreds of
VIP member websites, you’re asked to provide a one-time password that’s
automatically generated by Intel® Identity Protection Technology. Since
the password is random, and you get a new one each time you visit, it’s
virtually impossible for cybercriminals to hijack your online identity. The
best part? The identity protection technology is built into your new PC’s
processor, so there’s no extra hardware to buy and no tokens or other
“credentials” to lug around, forget, or lose. Protecting yourself
online has never been easier
