Norton360 comes in a nice attractive package with a standard CD installer, a skimpy manual and a single sheet with your license key on it. The installation was a breeze. All one has to do is the pop-in the CD, wait for the install to startup, put in your CD-key and let the installer finish. Once it is done that, it runs an update to get the latest viral database and runs a preliminary scan to eliminate any virii or spyware that the base machine maybe infected with.
Now while the operation above sounds like any typical install that you have probably done before a million times over, It is what comes in the post install steps that sets this software package apart. Post install, the software program offers an option to sign-up for a “Norton Account”. This account has the capacity to backup not only your settings, but it can store your CD-key in a safe online account. This is an excellent move that allows you to easily recover your CD-key in case the original is unavailable, if the product needs a reinstall.
Try Kaspersky Internet Security 7 Instead. Inexpensive and works good, heavy on system resources though.
