About Norton 360
Norton 360™ Version 2.0 provides reliable, industry-leading protection for everything the computer users in your family care about—without sacrificing PC performance. Running quietly in the background, it automatically detects and blocks viruses, spyware, hackers, and other online threats, delivering comprehensive protection without confusing security alerts that interrupt your computing experience. It protects you from identity theft and phishing scams by verifying trusted Web sites and blocking fake ones. Plus, its new Identity Safe securely manages logins, passwords, and other sensitive information such as credit card numbers and fills in forms automatically when you shop or bank online.
With a renewable subscription, your home network—including up to three PCs—is continuously protected, safeguarding family members when they play games, send email, download files, shop, or surf the Web—even wirelessly. That’s because the new Norton 360 network security feature monitors the security status of your wireless network and alerts you when you connect to an unsecured network.
Norton 360 also keeps PCs optimized and tuned for peak performance and protects the data on them by making it easy to back up photos, music, and financial records and restore them at any time. Flexible options allow you to back up your files to CD, DVD, and USB devices and to new backup destinations, including HD-DVD, Blu-ray Disc™, and iPod®. You can also set up convenient, automatic backups to an attached hard drive or a secure online storage service* to protect your files in the event something happens to your PC.
For enhanced performance, Norton 360 automatically schedules key functions such as scans, backups, and tuneups to occur in the background so they don’t interfere with your computing activities. And the new release features faster scanning and less memory usage, giving Norton 360 Version 2.0 an unmatched combination of speed and protection.
