Norton 360

Symantec provides a 15-day free trial of Norton 360 that is full functioned. During the install we were not asked to provide any personal information, nor were we asked to install third-party toolbars, as is the case with Norton Antivirus 2008 and Norton Internet Security 2008. We were not asked to reboot after the install. Norton 360 is better than Norton Internet Security 2008 in some respects, namely that it's lighter on system resources, the tools are better integrated, and it presents a much better design model than the current Norton product line.

Norton 360 includes antivirus, antispyware, antiphishing, antispam, antirootkit protection, a firewall, Symantec's new SONAR (Symantec Online Network for Advance Response) behavioral monitoring software, and a vulnerability assessment tool to see what Windows updates your computer might be missing. But more advanced users should stay with the Internet security suites for now. There is no uninstall option, so you'll have to use the Windows Control Center's Add/Remove Software utility. After a reboot, we found all traces of the product were removed.
