Norton 360

[Anon_F]

OK, now i know what some people think of Norton, but here goes.

I'm helping a family friend to buy a pc & they have been offered Norton360 at half price when buying the pc from pc world. I'm really after a simple AV/Firewall that will protect their pc & as they have used Norton before want to go for Norton 360.
Will it do the job of protecting their pc?

No.

Get Kaspersky Internet Security (usually under a tenner online) - it's much better

I'd even prefer freebies like AntiVir over Norton - I've had so many problems whenever I've used it.

Yep, for £20 I would buy it ... bet you never thought you would hear me say that.

For the people who know naff all, 360 is quite good ... it ain't in the league of Kaspersky Internet Security & NOD Smart Security ... but Norton has tamed, or curtailed, its old habits.

If you were my friend, however, I would probably try to persuade you to use one of the two I mentioned above, but, you will need to learn some aspects on how the software works to get the best.
