Norton
360 Now Speeds PC Performance and Extends Online Protection with Norton Safe Web
With
the release of Version 3.0, Norton 360 catches up with the performance and technology
improvements that were introduced in the Norton 2009 products - and takes pole
position with a few of its own. The result is an industry-leading total security
suite that delivers ultra-fast and super light performance.
Norton
360 Version 3.0 delivers today's fast and light all-in-one solution for protecting
your PC and all your online activities. Completely automated and easy to use,
Norton 360 works quietly in the background, with minimal impact on PC performance,
to provide comprehensive protection for everything computer users care about.
Norton 360 version 3.0 has an average install of approximately
one minute and uses less than 10MB of memory. The latest version includes all
of the performance and security enhancements of Norton Internet Security 2009,
such as Norton Insight and pulse updates that result in intelligent scanning and
the industry's most frequent protection updates.
As consumers
shop online for convenience and value, Norton Safe Web's new Shopping Safety ratings
can now help them judge whether vendors are reputable before making a purchase
by indicating whether sites are legitimate businesses, comply with good business
practices, keep transactions secure and protect consumer privacy. Norton Safe
Web also offers accurate, up-to-date ratings that enable users to easily differentiate
safe Web sites from malicious ones. Currently, Norton Safe Web is already providing
site rating information for over 13 million search results per day to more than
100,000 registered beta testers.
"Our goal for this version
of Norton 360 is to deliver comprehensive protection with zero impact on performance,
so consumers can be productive online, backup their valuable data, and keep their
computer running at peak performance," said David Hall, Consumer Spokesperson.
"With Norton Safe Web, we are extending that protection to make shopping
and other everyday online activities safer."
