The Norton 360 computer protection software is a huge leap forward compared to earlier programs they have released. Scanning and back-up tools run much faster than before, and their software is much less system intensive. The biggest complaints with using Norton products is how much it slows down a computer, and it looks like they have finally addressed these concerns with this release.

This version includes five patented layers of protection that are designed to detect problems that other utilities often miss. Users can enjoy other features that include safe Facebook browsing as well as a system performance monitor. This allows users to tweak their computer and optimize certain settings to make their system work faster.

Other features include:

-Anti-phishing tools

-Instant Messaging monitoring

-Safe browsing with real-time scanning

-Secret download detection

-Secure password storage

They also include automatic bandwidth adjustment tools which enable 3G users to enjoy the software without loosing valuable usage credits. Advanced parental controls, automatic back-up, and scans or updates that run when the computer is not in use round out the benefits of this package.

These are just a few of the many advantages that come with this powerful utility. It is a payware product, but the price for the full version is very competitive when compared to other anti-virus programs. It is easy to download and set-up, and completing the registration process will enable users to receive regular product updates and tweaks as they become available.

It comes with a very easy to use interface, and the menus are not confusing or complicated. Norton 360 is perfect for anyone, but this product is definitely geared towards novices or intermediate users who are looking for a hands-off utility that will keep them protected. Norton is one of the oldest and most trusted anti-virus providers, and this product is one of the best out there today.
