The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 3.0
Norton 360 is an Internet and PC security program with additional features. It can backup data and tune up your PC for better performance. Unlike many Internet security programs this one does not consume much of your system memory, which makes it a good program for users with low hardware resources. The Anti-Virus is pretty good in detecting viruses,spyware and other threats. It also has Identity protection, with an anti-phishing tool that works fine. The Backup feature enables a user to backup important data online or in the local drive itself.
The PC tuneup feature deletes unused temporary files, unwanted cookies and files and defragments the hard disk for optimizing your PC's performance. Moreover it can monitor the CPU usage of the system and the Startup manager turns off unnecessary applications to increase the speed when starting up the system.
One of the best feature of this product is Norton Insight which scans only those files that tends to be risky, which saves lots of time while scanning. The LiveUpdate feature updates the virus definition and program updates in every 5-15 minutes. |
