Version: Norton 360 2.0
"Works great with "Vista" but,"
Pros: It's still a "Norton" security application. It has a nice GUI and it's easy to use, almost to easy. This application, unlike other "Norton" software will uninstall easily. It is a great set it and forget it security suite. Too much so. It sells for the same price as a three user license of "Kaspersky Internet Security Suite 7" so why would I choose to invest in this package? Personally, I wouldn't! But, if you are a user with safe web surfing habits, are using a hardware firewall ( an encrypted router ), you might be safe with this suite. Lord knows, it's easy to get along with! But, I wouldn't even with a router. It certainly is one of the the best set it and forget it security applications available as is the "Norton Internet Security Suite". I'll be darned if I'd trust it though.
Cons: In "Norton 360" you get extras. You get some tuning modules, you get 2GB of on line storage for backup. Big deal! 2Gb is nothing to me. You get a "to quite firewall". You get a scanner which, in comparison, has a small signature file. You get a suite that misses infections and has a difficult time cleaning some of the worst there are. I need to be a part of my security software. I want to see my firewall working. I want to be told, via a pop up when I am about to mess up. I want great detection and removal of all infection types. At the same, 3 user license price, get "Kaspersky". There is no comparison when it comes to real protection. And NO, I don't work for any software company. I'm simply stating my opinion.
