Features
Norton 360 includes protection from most forms of malware, including viruses, trojans, spyware, and adware, as well as a personal firewall and an anti-phishing feature.1 A single license of Norton 360 can be used to protect up to 3 computers at no additional cost. Users can also use Norton 360 to backup personal data locally or online (the standard version gives 2 GB of free online storage and the premier version gives 10 GB, though additional storage could be purchased).2 In addition, the program includes basic maintenance tools, including a disk optimizer and registry cleaner, that are designed to optimize the user's computer. Add-on packs that provide other features (including parental control and anti-spam) are available from Symantec.3 The product has a simpler user interface than most other similar Symantec products and is designed to be more automated.4
