Norton 360

Norton 360 protects your identity while shopping online, when using online banking services or when simply surfing the web on a daily basis. The product is able to identify and block viruses, spyware, Trojans, worms and botnet components, as well as rootkit based attacks. While the antivirus engine is active, all websites visited will be automatically scanned for malicious source code traces, enabling a safer and more pleasant surfing experience. On top of the normal antivirus features, Norton 360 automatically detects new applications as they are being installed and ensures the fact that unknown software will not affect the PC until you, as the user, allow it to run. Unlike a normal security suite, Norton 360 is able to secure wireless networks as well as email and local file systems, resulting in an all around solution.
