Wouldn’t
it be great to have total computer security with one product? Wouldn’t
it be reassuring that you are always protected from online threats and
that your data is backed up automatically, all that while your PC
performs at its best? With all the software out there, it can be
confusing trying to figure out what you really need. And once you are
past that step, making your programs work together seamlessly is yet
another story.
WHAT IS NORTON 360 VERSION 4.0?
Introducing the
latest in PC protection: Norton 360 Version 4.0! This comprehensive
software suite eliminates the need for any additional security,
performance optimization and data backup & restore products. Truly a
breakthrough in PC protection, Norton 360 Version 4.0 provides a
hassle-free user experience.
Think of Norton 360 Version 4.0 as
being the ‘mother’ of all Symantec products: it includes the strengths
of Norton Internet Security 2010 for online threat protection and
powerful features similar as those of Norton Online Backup for backing
up your data securely as well as Norton Utilities in order to
continuously fine-tune your PC for best performance. These features can
be accessed through an easy-to-use, streamlined user interface, another
strong point that differentiates Norton 360 Version 4.0 from the
competition.
WHAT CAN NORTON 360 VERSION 4.0 DO FOR ME?
As
mentioned above, Norton 360 Version 4.0 has 3 core functions: online
threat protection, PC performance optimization and data backup &
restore features. Below is a breakdown of these functions:
ONLINE THREAT PROTECTION
First things first, Norton 360 Version 4.0 offers state-of-the-art PC protection from all types of online threats:
Norton
360 Version 4.0 has all the security features of Norton Internet
Security 2010. That means unintrusive, around the clock protection
against viruses, spyware, worms, Trojan horses, rootkits, botnets and
the latest cyber-threats.
Its powerful, intelligent two-way
firewall protects you against hackers and ensures your personal data
doesn’t leave your computer without your consent.
Its strong
anti-phishing feature analyzes web page structure to understand whether
or not an attempt is made to steal confidential information as you input
it into forms. Shop and bank online without worry, among other things.
A new enterprise-grade Spam filter keeps unwanted emails out of your Inbox.
Norton™
Identity Safe is another data safeguard that stores your sensitive,
personal information such as passwords and credit card numbers in a
secure vault and automatically retrieves it when needed by a legitimate
website. This means you are protected against keylogger programs because
you don't need to type-in your login information where it is required
on websites.
Its Network Monitoring feature prevents intruders
from stealing your network bandwidth and accessing your files. Also, you
get alerted if you attempt to connect to an unsecured wireless network.
Its
Parental Control is now entirely web-based, which means you can manage
it from anywhere. You get Internet content filtering, control over time
spent surfing online and even Instant Messaging monitoring.
PC PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
But
where other products stop, Norton 360 Version 4.0 keeps on going: it
offers more than just online security, keeping your PC in top shape
thanks to its PC Tuneup feature, which does the following things,
quietly in the background:
Automatically finds and fixes common problems that make your computer run slower.
Gets rid of unnecessary Internet clutter stored by Internet Explorer and temporary files from applications you run.
Removes stale and erroneous Windows registry entries.
Defragments your hard drive(s) for faster data writing and access.
Generates
diagnostic reports showing problems with your system and
resource-hungry processes, so you can better tweak your PC's performance
.
With Startup Manager, you can manage what programs launch when you start your computer to make that process faster.
AUTOMATIC DATA BACKUP AND RESTORE
Finally,
have you ever worried that one day, you could lose all the data stored
on your computer? Again, Norton 360 Version 4.0 brings you peace of mind
with its solid data backup and restore features.
Your precious
files such as photos, music, contacts and financial documents can be
backed up automatically to CDs, DVDs or external drives. You even have
the option to backup to high-capacity Blu-Ray discs and/or your own
online storage space (its default size is 2 GB but you have the option
to purchase more; you get 25GB with Norton 360 Version 4.0 Premier
Edition).
Whether you are adding new files or editing existing
ones, Norton 360 Version 4.0 will detect what has changed and make the
necessary backups without any intervention on your part. Moreover, your
files are backed up automatically when your PC is idle so you are not
disturbed while working, surfing the web or playing games.
If you
use the online backup capability, you can download your backed up files
from your Norton Online ***. That means you have access to these files
wherever you have high-speed Internet access.
You can also share
backed up files easily and efficiently by sending links to them via
email. This feature is particularly convenient to share files that are
too big to be emailed. You can password-protect these links and make
them expire at a particular date for added security
.
