The next tab, internet security, adds protection to web browsers and manages website passwords for you. Safecam keeps an eye out for any activity that suggests that your devices camera is being accessed without authorisation.
Security is where you access the antivirus component of the package, perform update, check the security history and, new for Norton 360, activates Safecam. This console has five tabs for security, internet security, backup, performance and My Norton. Clicking “open” brings up a console virtually identical to that of Norton Security. The device security module is effectively the contents of the Norton Security suite, with the addition of Safecam. The Norton 360 interface consists of five components: device security, secure VPN, cloud backup, password manager and parental controls. Norton 360 is also more than just a rebadged the Norton Security suite. Of course, novice users would do well to trust Norton's default settings for maximum protection.Īs the replacement for Norton Security, Norton 360 is similarly much more than just antivirus software. As Norton 360 includes many of the same modules as Norton Security, the same balance of protection/restriction can still be achieved.
In my review of Norton Security I mentioned how the software suite can be easily customised by experienced users to give them the level of protection they require, without being continuously nagged by the software. But today's connected world is fraught with danger and only the foolhardiest adventurer would enter this uncharted digital landscape without even the modicum of device security.
Like insurance, you only appreciate it when you need it. In the past I've viewed antivirus software and its ilk as being a necessary evil. FutureFive's Darren Price put the digital security software through its paces. Unfortunately, as the decades have rolled on, vulnerabilities across digital devices and the means to exploit them have become all the more sophisticated.īuilding on their Norton Security software suite, Symantec's consumer cyber safety brand, now known as Norton Lifelock, have released Norton 360 in Australia and New Zealand. For almost 30 years Norton software has been protecting PC users from viruses and other unwanted elements.
