Well designed UI
Inexpensive
Comprehensive firewall
Low system impact
Slow file scanning speeds
Defragmentation is slow
May give false positive reports on AV scans

Backup and Restore
This is another welcome and much needed addition to a security package. Though there are several excellent backup solutions like the Acronis range of products available, they are often too complex for average users and can cause problems. Symantec looks to simplify this by introducing a simple module that not only allows you to backup your data to external media or another HDD, it offers a 2 GB off-site account as part of its subscription package which can be utilized for storing your data.

PC Tune-up
This section is exclusively dedicated to utilities, which are designed to keep your PC running in an optimized state. There are separate modules provided for defragmentation, cleaning out temporary internet files and surfing history.

One section which we have chosen to keep separately is the Norton360 “My account” tab. Recognizing that a lot of households are increasingly getting more than one PCs, Norton allows you to purchase more licenses at fairly discounted rates. Under this section one can easily input a new serial key for installation on a separate machine, buy more online storage for backup purposes and monitor the number of days left in the subscription. This increases the utility of the software, as with a single CD it is possible to equip multiple home PCs with the software, have separate licenses for each and yet manage them under a single common account. This is a good touch and will be highly appreciated by anyone looking for a comprehensive solution.

Try Kaspersky Internet Security 7 Instead. Inexpensive and works good, heavy on system resources though.

Many of the formal reviews I have read about this product have been misleading or downright dishonest. I'm not a Symantec basher but Norton 360 is a step in the wrong direction. Two chief gripes are
- HEAVY on system resources, despite claims to the contrary
- lack on control re options/settings
Experienced AV users are likely to be severely disappointed in this product. Cannot recommend.

I bought this on line - slows my system down far too much - how do I get my money back?

I have tried this product. I takes most of my system resource and makes my computer slow...
