Wouldn’t it be great to have total computer security with one product? Wouldn’t it be reassuring that you are always protected from online threats and that your data is backed up automatically, all that while your PC performs at its best? With all the software out there, it can be confusing trying to determine what you need. Once you are past that step, making your programs work together seamlessly is yet another story.
WHAT IS NORTON 360 VERSION 3.0?
Introducing the latest in PC protection: Norton 360 Version 3.0! This comprehensive software suite eliminates the need for any additional security, performance optimization and data backup & restore products. Truly a breakthrough in PC protection, Norton 360 Version 3.0 provides a hassle-free user experience.
Think of Norton 360 Version 3.0 as being the ‘mother’ of all Symantec products: it includes the strengths of Norton Antivirus 2010 for online threat protection and powerful features similar as those of Norton SystemWorks Premier Edition for backing up your data securely as well as continuously optimizing your PC for peak performance. These features can be accessed through an easy-to-use, streamlined user interface, another strong point that differentiates Norton 360 Version 3.0 from the competition.
WHAT CAN NORTON 360 VERSION 3.0 DO FOR ME?
As mentioned above, Norton 360 Version 3.0 has 3 core functions: online threat protection, PC performance optimization and data backup & restore features. Below is a breakdown of these functions:
ONLINE THREAT PROTECTION
First things first, Norton 360 Version 3.0 offers state-of-the-art PC protection from all types of online threats:
- It adds a powerful, intelligent two-way firewall for protection against hackers and make sure your personal data doesn’t leave your computer without your consent.
- It also has a strong anti-phishing feature that analyzes web page structure to understand whether or not an attempt is made to steal confidential information as you input it into forms.
- Norton™ Identity Safe is another data safeguard that stores your sensitive, personal information such as passwords and credit card numbers in a secure vault and automatically retrieves it when needed by a legitimate website. This means you are protected against keylogger programs because you don't need to type-in your login information where it is required on websites.
- Network Monitoring shows you a map of your network and the various devices connected to it. You can view the security status of the Norton products installed on the network and you get alerted if you attempt to connect to an unsecured wireless network.
- Via an add-on pack you can benefit from Parental Control, a feature that lets you decide what websites your children can go visit when they are online.
PC PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
But where other products stop, Norton 360 Version 3.0 keeps on going: it offers more than just online security, keeping your PC in top shape by doing the following, quietly in the background:
- Automatically fixes common PC problems
- Gets rid of unnecessary Internet clutter and temporary files.
- Removes stale Windows registry entries.
- Defragments your hard drive(s) for faster data writing and access.
AUTOMATIC DATA BACKUP AND RESTORE
Finally, have you ever worried that one day, you could lose all the data stored on your computer? Again, Norton 360 Version 3.0 brings you peace of mind with its solid data backup and restore features. Your precious files such as photos, music, contacts and financial documents can be backed up automatically to CDs, DVDs or external drives. You even have the option to backup to high-capacity Blu-Ray and HD-DVD discs and/or your own online storage space (its default size is 2 GB but you have the option to purchase more).
Whether you are adding new files or editing existing ones, Norton 360 Version 3.0 will detect what has changed and make the necessary backups without any intervention on your part. Moreover, your files are backed up automatically when your PC is idle so you are not disturbed while working, surfing the web or playing games.
WHAT ARE THE IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE 2.0 VERSION?
You might be wondering where the ‘3.0’ in ‘Norton 360 Version 3.0’ is coming from. Well, this latest release of Norton 360 has several important improvements over its predecessor:
- Norton 360 Version 3.0 now integrates Norton™ Pulse Updates: it automatically checks for new virus definitions every 5 to 15 minutes and downloads them in the background for continuous protection without performance sacrifices.
- It also integrates Norton™ Insight: this new community intelligence-driven technology from Symantec contributes in a large part to the quicker scan times. It flags as 'trusted' common files that do not change over time, thus eliminating the need to scan them regularly. On the other hand, files that are more at risk are checked every time.
- Norton 360 Version 3.0 now protects you against botnets to prevent hackers from taking control of your PC and accessing your private information.
- Norton Safe Web™ is a browser protection feature that identifies search results as good, bad, or iffy, with simple green, red, and yellow icons. To further help users identify safe shopping websites while conducting online searches, it rates them on three criteria: a legitimate business, a valid privacy policy, and secure transactions.
- Your important files are always protected from loss: they are automatically backed up when your PC is idle, so backups won’t slow you down when you are in the middle of a resource-intensive task.
- A new feature also speeds up your PC boot time by turning off unnecessary startup programs, so your PC gets up and running faster.
It can happen sometimes: are you having some problems after installing Norton 360 Version 3.0? Embedded support components will diagnose them and help you quickly resolve common issues. Plus, you also get access to free technical support via live chat or email 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, directly through the user interface.
