- Ease of Use
There is a chat system for problem resolution although I have yet to use it.
You can store up to 2GB of data (free but more can be purchased) on a Norton server.
Anti-virus checking is effective but not necessarily the best - this is also true of most of the other facilities.
Incoming and outgoing emails are scanned for viruses.
Spam emails are automatically moved to an anti-spam folder instead of cluttering up you inbox with viagra ads.
Bad Points
Bad Points
Whilst there is some ability to configure the software, it is neither intuitive nor simple.
Update checking, scanning etc. are preprogrammed to happen when your computer is left idle for an extended period of time. If, for example, you are searching the internet for an extended period of time, your system will not collect any updates or perform scanning during that period and therefore be vulnerable.
Manual updates and system scans take a long, long time.
Cost of licence renewal is a lot more expensive than the original purchase.
Removal of Norton 360 is very involved and even then you may miss some files.
Norton 360 is quite resource hungry and can slow your computer significantly particularly when starting the system (probably about a minute extra) or when loading large emails or web pages.
The disk defragmenter is not completely compatible with the windows version.
General Comments
Norton 360
Basically it does what it says on the box.
Be aware that configuration, where possible, is awkward.
System is resource hungry - but then most all-in-one systems are!
If you have only single computers to protect and you are not an internet junkie, then this could be the program for you.
