Introduction

The Internet is connecting us in new and exciting ways. However, as our online opportunities evolve, so do Internet threats. And now more than ever, we need a way to protect our identities, our privacy, and our information.

With the release of Norton 360, that just got easier. You can now get all your security needs in one automated service.

Threats evolve along with the Web

Perhaps you’ve heard the term “Web 2.0” or “the Live Web.” Whatever you label it, we find ourselves in a new Internet era. From blogs and social networking sites to podcasts and online video sharing, more and more of our information and communications have moved online. At the same time, the Internet has become a bustling marketplace where many of us conduct our day-to-day business.

While these changes create all sorts of opportunities and conveniences, they also expose us to Internet threats. In the new Internet age, hackers, viruses, phishing scams, and other threats continue to target our identities, our privacy, and our information.

They also continue to evolve, getting more sophisticated right along with our online tools and interests. To keep up, we’re constantly patching our operating systems, downloading assorted computer security tools, and updating the tools we already have. And in this era of online convenience and technical innovation, you’d think there would be a better way to protect ourselves.

Enter Norton 360.

The next generation in online security

Norton 360 is a new and convenient way to protect yourself online. Rather than piecing together a security system on your own, Norton 360 provides an all-in-one solution that enables you to feel safe and secure while conducting your online activities. Loaded with powerful security features, Norton 360 protects against every major kind of threat.

Hackers, viruses, and other traditional threats — Norton 360 employs Symantec’s award-winning security technology to protect against a wide range of threats and risks, including viruses, spyware, hackers, worms and more.

Online transaction protection — To guard against fraud and identity theft, you need to distinguish fake online merchants and banks from real ones. Norton 360 does that for you, using advanced detection technologies to expose fraudulent Web sites, while authenticating legitimate online shops and banks.

Spyware and keyloggers — Spyware and other unwanted software, like keyloggers, work secretly in the background, quietly trying to steal your information and identity. Norton 360 automatically detects and blocks these programs.

Backup and restore — While prevention is always the best defense, preparing for data loss is equally important. That’s why Norton 360 automatically backs up all your pictures, music, contacts, and other important files. It also makes it easy to restore your files should disaster strike.

PC Tune up — Security and PC performance go hand-in-hand. Alongside its core security features, Norton 360 provides tools to repair, optimize, and tidy up your PC.

Emerging threats — Norton 360 automatically keeps all your defenses up to date. That means as old threats evolve and new ones emerge, you’ll remain protected.

Conclusion

Norton 360 is the ideal security solution for the evolving Internet. An all-in-one service, it uses world-class Symantec technology to protect you against every type of threat. With Norton 360 on the job, you can work and play in our connected world with a whole new level of confidence.
