Hello,



We’ve just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked to it.
Thanks greatly!

“Norton 360 v3.0 stands up well against most of its rivals, especially in
terms of features. The software is also easy to use and there’s very little
management duties required. It’s not the prettiest software, but it’s not
the ugliest either. Most importantly, because it uses same engine as Norton
Internet Security 2009 it does a reasonable job of stopping malware and
keeping your computer safe. It’s also relatively light on CPU and memory. My
biggest gripes are that Symantec only provides 2GB of online storage space,
which is pathetic given today’s monster hard drives, but there is a Premier
edition with 25GB storage available for £10 extra. The built-in backup
component doesn’t support passwords, file compression, or drive cloning
either, and the tune-up software is superfluous because it’s nowhere near as
good as individual programs dedicated to serving a specific purpose.

Another problem I encountered was that the Norton Identity Safe feature,
which installed a toolbar into my browser and totally kept crashing Firefox
3.0.10 - at least until I uninstalled the plug-in and restarted my computer.
Overall I didn’t really like Norton 360 v3.0, mainly because of the browser
(and machine) crashes and the number of unnecessary features (backup and
tuneup). And why on earth do you need to restart your computer after a virus
database update? As far as I’m concerned, for pure security there are better
offerings from the likes of ZoneAlarm, ESET and Webroot Software. Concluding
on a plus note, the new version is definitely faster, less intrusive, and
easier to use than previous versions, which will please many looking to
upgrade.”
