Symantec Norton 360

I was sent the Norton 360 program from Symantec and Mom Central.

It is described as all in one security for your computer and it definitely seems to be just that. It goes way beyond Norton AntiVirus to help protect your computer and your personal information.

It protects you when you are connecting wirelessly, it removes viruses from your email and instant messages, blocks worms, stops spyware, guards against identy theft, helps you determine if a website (like your banking site) is fake, removes threats from downloads, backs up your files, restores damaged or deleted files, tunes up your PC and helps optimize its performance!

It is really simple to install and set up, although on dialup it took awhile to connect and get updates. The program did an amazing job of cleaning up my computer and finding threats that my other virus program didn’t find. The only problem I had with it was that it slowed down the performance of my computer while it was running. My computer is old and I’m running on dialup. Geo put the program on his computer at work, which is newer and has high speed and he had no problems at all. In fact, he was able to get the computer working again..it had been attacked by a virus and was basically non functioning. Once he ran the program, everything worked well again.

This is definitely the type of program that will keep your computer safe, especially if you are using a wireless connection or do a lot of downloading. It is always nice to have the additional protection to help guard against identity theft.
