Norton 360 - a new kind of all in one security suite
Of course, there are various security programs now available in the market, but there are only few that accomplish the things that they are supposed to do. Security programs are a must now a day. To protect your computer and to protect the information present in your computer, it has become a must to have a flawless, efficient security program to be running in the background.
When Norton 360 has hit the market, I had barely any idea of its power and efficiency. Later on hearing the impact and the market that it has made, I turned my eyes to know what actually does this have in it. Upon opening the pack, I am surprised to know the bunch of features that it is offering - ranging from the antivirus to the embedded support; each and every feature is supplemented with world-class services. The key technologies, as the pack told me included antivirus, email scanning, antispyware, antiphishing, identity protection, rootkit detection, network monitoring, web site authentication, firewall protection. Along with these features, it is also offering automatic backup with restore facility in conjunction with a secured storage of 2GB online. Embedded support, automatic updates, PC performance tune-ups along with parental and antispam control are the additional features that came along with the product.
Why is this different from Traditional Antivirus Solutions?
Traditional antivirus solutions aren't of any exception. No doubt, they offer enough protection against the viruses and various forms of the malware. But they are incapable of protecting the web surfers against identity theft and fraud. Identity theft has $56 billion revenue annually tells the need of having a good enhanced anti-phishing and identity protection.
What does Norton 360 offer?
Norton 360 has enhanced technologies offering security from identity theft, viruses and other malware functions. It takes care of all the things including email protection-protecting your email from being hacked, antispyware-to make your computer free from unwanted spywares, an industry leading defending firewall blocking the access of latest attacks. As a part of providing Identity protection, the Norton 360 blocks the fraudulent websites by verifying the trusted ones. The Network Monitoring feature allows you to view each and every device connected to your wireless network. It notifies you if you are connected to the unsecured network. The backup and restore feature protects your valuable information like documents, photos and music with an automated backup. The outstanding feature of this product is the ability of identifying the critical files and backing them up automatically. The product also provides a secured online storage of 2GB enabling you to backup your valuable data for storage.
In addition to these, Norton 360 has a state of the art enhanced performance that uses less usage of memory compared to the other competing products. Fast scan, fast browser speed and fast startup time are the additional features of its performance. Dissimilar to the other competing products in the market, Norton 360 has a lot of concern on the user. With Norton 360, providing backup for the files is pretty easy making it an ideal product also for the layman users.
