Norton 360 is truly a comprehensive, all-in-one PC suite. The software “revolves” around four basic segments: Security, Identity Protection, Backup, and PC Tuneup. Each quadrant of the software includes a variety of tools and features, and combine to compose a complete PC solution. Adding simple functionality and impressive overall performance, Norton 360 earns a "TopTenREVIEWS Excellence Award" as one of the best Premium Security Suites.

Norton 360 is the equivalent of having several software packages in one. Norton 360 includes antivirus and antispyware, antispam, antiphising, rootkit and botnet protection, network monitoring, identity protection, a two-way firewall, backup and restore functions, password manager, parental controls, web safety features, and PC optimization. Put simply, Norton 360 helps protect, optimize, and maintain your PC from every angle.

The main reason people use Norton 360 is to have comprehensive PC protection in a single suite without having to purchase all the components separately. The software was specifically designed to meet the needs of average users, providing effective protection without much user intervention. But the software has come to accommodate Symantec’s more advanced users, providing sophisticated tools and a variety of custom options and settings. Norton 360 works effectively as a set-and-forget security solution, but also has impressive features under the hood.

Norton 360 offers so much more than simply antivirus or antispyware scanning. The suite truly encompasses PC security, backup, and optimization. The valuable package comes at a reasonable price, and doesn’t hog your system resources. In fact, Norton 360 was specifically designed to be more effective and robust while maintaining speed, a light footprint, flexibility, and easy to use features.

Norton 360 Standout Features:

  • Norton Insight significantly reduces scan load
  • Silent Mode accommodates uninterrupted movies or video games
  • Safe Web streamlines internet security
  • SONAR (Symantec Online Network for Advanced Response) proactively detects and defends from unknown threats
