Enhanced Virus Protection capability
-
Mobile AMD Sempron processors will help provide a more secure computing environment with AMDIt's Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) capability. Combined with MicrosoftIt's Data Execution Prevention in the upcoming Windows® XP Service Pack 2, AMDIt's EVP is designed to prevent certain types of viruses from replicating and spreading to other systems. Enhanced Virus Protection will by default only protect the user's Windows operating system. Users must, at installation of Microsoft Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or when they first purchase their systems, enable the protection of their applications and associated files or they will not be protected from memory buffer overrun attacks. Advanced Micro Devices, inc. and Microsoft strongly recommend that users install and regularly update third party anti-virus software as part of their security strategy.
