Are You Protected?Norton 360
I’m thrilled I finally got Norton 360 on my new computer! It’s been unprotected for too long and now I can sit back and not have to worry thanks to Symantec who let me test their software! With advanced antivirus, antispamware, firewall, intrusion protection, and powerful SONAR behavioral detection technology, Norton 360 protects my computer from many online threats like the recent Silentbanker Trojan, which takes advantage of various points of entry to infect computers and steal personal information.
Norton 360 even has this phishing protection and web authentication (in Firefox) which lets you know when you’ve stumbled upon a sight with questionable security. I’ve only begun to explore the features of Norton 360, but it comes with a limited automatic backup system. It also has Network Monitoring which checks the status of wireless security, maps connected devices, alerts users when they are connected to an unsecure network, and provides advice to help manage network security settings. This is going to come in real handy with all the places I use WiFi!
Let’s see, what am I leaving out. PC Tuneups which optimizes PC performances by removing unneeded files and it provides a diagnostic report for troubleshooting and problem solving. Norton 360s Internet Browser Cleanup capability is also compatible with my browser, Firefox.
Parental control and antispam are available through and optional add-on at no extra charge. I’ll definitely have to look into that one! But the best thing about having Norton 360 on my computer is that I can rest easy and know I’m protected!
There are even versions of Norton 360 for their Premier Edition and small businesses!
If your computer is not protected and you’d like to purchase Norton 360 visit www.symantecstore.com It’s also available for purchase at various stores.
And just for fun, let’s hear about your computer virus/crashing horror stories. I remember a while ago my computer crashed and not everything was backed up. I had to pay a computer guy to find my files, fix my computer and still I couldn’t find some important WIP versions! That meant I had to rewrite entire chapters. Not something I want to do again and with Norton’s automatic backup system, I won’t have to!
