Norton’s latest product the 360 all in one is a complete security solution. The interface has changed a bit from the earlier software by Symantec; it now has a fancy, sleek,
It looks like Symantec has covered pretty much everything on the security front. You get an Antivirus and a Spyware scanner to hunt down viruses, worms and spywares. There’s a firewall, and a Transaction Security feature which is meant to safeguard the online transaction you do shopping and banking, for example. It verifies whether the sites are online scams or authentic.
The tune up feature is very basic; its task to clear out your Windows and Temporary Internet Files and defragment your disk(s). You can set the software to automatically back up important files like the stuffs in you’re My Documents folder and others. Schedules can be set for this.
You get 2 GB of online space that can be used to backup important data, once you have activated Norton 360; you register for the online space.
If Norton 360 finds anything that could hamper security, it highlights this by displaying it in the main window. For example, if the firewall is disabled, or if the software isn’t up to date, it gives out alerts. The software even reminded us that our Windows password wasn’t strong enough!
360 All In One performed quite a lot better in terms of resources consumed than what we expected having seen previous Symantec products – Like Norton Antivirus. When idle, RAM consumption was a mere 8MB. With the interface on, it went up to 17 MB, and it was 75 MB while running the barrage of scans.
All in all, Norton 360 All In One security as a complete solution does make some sense. The software’s focus is ease of use, so it cannot be compared to full fledged antivirus software or spyware detectors.
Everything is automated, so, it’s great for those who don’t want to be bothered with checking for viruses and backing up data frequently.
At the Price of $ 79.99 (1 Year Subscription) or $ 134.99 (2 Years Subscription) with three licenses per household, we strongly recommend you to give it a try.
