Abstract: Revolutionary Internet security? An improvement on Norton Internet Security 2007, but with too many idiosyncrasies. Norton 360 represented a revolution for its maker, Symantec, when it was released last year. It was faster than its Internet Security ...
A raft of small but useful improvements make Norton 360 2.0 a useful addition to anyones utility tool bag. It remains powerful and yet very easy to use. At the same time, its not dumbed-down enough to deter power users. Roger Gann Lowest online pric...
Cannot perform multiple scans at once, Limited options for advanced users
Norton 360 2.0 provides the ultimate in computer protection—security scans, network protection, identity theft protection, automatic backup, and PC tuneups—and makes it so that the user barely has to manage anything. In addition to the compreh...

Norton 360 v2 includes more native support for the Firefox browser; enhanced backup options; enhanced PC Tune Up; works great on clean, new machines running Windows Vista.
Norton 360 v2 can be hard to install on legacy machines; places a gadget in Windows Vista without asking; requires personal information for access to a technical support section that can be confusing; costly to use.
A near-perfect all-in-one solution for brand new PCs, Norton 360 v2 may be hard to install and run on legacy machines. However, dont count on Symantecs time-consuming and expensive technical support for help.
