Norton 360 does as its name suggests; provides 360 degree protection for whatever and whenever you use your computer. This may be on cyber threats such as viruses, trojans and spyware, or phishing scams from checking your e-mail.

Norton 360 provide complete protection from viruses, trojans, worms, hackers and spyware, in one all-round package. In addition, Norton 360 offers protection of your identity whilst you shop and bank online. To do this, Norton 360 identifies whether a site you are planning to visit is fraudulent or valid, to defend against ‘phishing’ websites which can pose as true websites and steal your personal details. Norton 360 also warns you of unsafe websites and anything else suspicious, so that you can continue to shop and bank online without worrying about identity theft.

Keystroke loggers can steal your passwords as you are typing them in; Norton 360 therefore automatically stores all of your passwords and login details to keep them secure. This also means you can sign in with a single click, without worrying that someone tracing your Internet activity can get your security information.

In the event of something happening to your computer or the accidental loss of files, Norton 360 automatically backs up files. It does this when your computer is idle, so that it doesn’t bog down the running of your computer whilst you are trying to work or play.

Norton 360 prevents you from being vulnerable whilst you use wireless networks, with protection from unauthorised users taking bandwidth or using the connection to steal information and files. If you are about to connect to an unsecured network, Norton 360 will alert you of this so you can make an informed decision as to whether to connect to it.

To keep your computer safe from even the newest and sophisticated viruses and threats, Norton 360 downloads virus definitions from every 5 to fifteen minutes. This is all done in the background so that the performance of your PC is not compromised.
