Norton 360 v6

Today when you use Internet there is always the threat of viruses or malware getting injected into your system, or of identity theft. Your system could get infected because of an already infected external drive or spam or as a fallout of you having opened an malicious web link. Norton 360 v6 is provides protection against all malware and identity theft. We installed it on a machine with a Core i5 processor, 4 GB RAM and 500 GB hard disk. It installed smoothly and the whole process took around 4 minutes. After installing this software, we were prompted to download an update of 47 MB. The control panel has sections like PC Security, Identity, Backup and PC Tune-up. Another good part is that the software does not increase the boot up time, as is generally the case with anti-virus installations. Its 'safe search' and identity protection features prevent you from opening malicious websites. We tried to search using keywords “serials and keys” in Google and it warned us about malicious results and also blocked those links from getting opened. It also has an anti-spam feature which can be used with mail clients like Microsoft Outlook. The software adds an additional tab “Norton” in Outlook menu. There you can open the anti-spam option to exclude suspicious contacts. The PC Tune Up option lets you tune up your system by deleting unwanted files and disabling unwanted startup items. It also provides 2 GB of free online backup.

Bottomline: An efficient anti-virus solution that does not slow down system performance.
