At the start of April, Norton released a new version of Norton 360, a hugely improved weapon against armies of hackers and viruses. This third version offers many of the same features as Norton Antivirus but also adds backup to store your data in case your PC crashes and tune up to improve clunky PC performance, a hazard often inflicted on users who have adware, spyware, worms or other viruses on their PC.
New users will love some of these benefits:
- As with Norton Antivirus 2009 and Internet Security, Norton 360 is easy and quick to install.
- Running Norton 360 causes minimal performance impact
- Among its admirers are Virus Bulletin and av-test.org
- The Norton 360 firewall is particularly powerful at blocking attemps to hack into your PC
- Its ability to detect and remove viruses and especially spyware
- Password management and other forms of identity protection
- Norton 360 warns you about sites you are about to visit but also uses some smarts so that it isn't too aggressive
- Phishing protection to stop you inadvertantly passing on your personal data and credit card numbers and banking logins
- A safe for all your passwords and logins
- A button that you hit that will auto populate forms and logins to popular Australian sites
- Enhanced security for the massive problem of phishing from fake bank sites
- Enhanced protection for people using wireless at home
- A firewall that works both ways
The above features are additional to these that are shared with Norton Antivirus 2009:
It's also worth noting that Norton 360 also has these features shared by Norton Internet Security:
- Easy start up - by default most of what you need is done
- Auto detection of spyware and viruses
- Awarded protection from viruses, worms, spyware, trojan horses, botnets, and rootkits
- Silent mode so that you don't notice its ongoing virus updates
- Prevention from dangerous browser and operating system security flaws, questionable websites and executable (program) files
- Early virus detection
