SAN MATEO, Calif.--Symantec is readying a new security product designed to protect consumers as they do business online.

The software, called Norton Confidential, will offer a shield against phishing Web sites and malicious software that try to steal sensitive data. Additionally, it will identify trustworthy Web sites and help users manage login names, passwords, credit card numbers and other information used in online transactions, a Symantec executive said Wednesday.

"Norton Confidential is our entry into a new category that we're describing as the 'transaction security' category," Enrique Salem, the group president of consumer products at Symantec, said in a presentation at the company's meeting for financial analysts here. "This is all about protecting interaction."
