THE GOOD
Norton 360 v2 includes more native support for the Firefox browser; enhanced backup options; enhanced PC Tune Up; works great on clean, new machines running Windows Vista.

THE BAD
Norton 360 v2 can be hard to install on legacy machines; places a gadget in Windows Vista without asking; requires personal information for access to a technical support section that can be confusing; costly to use.

THE BOTTOM LINE
A near-perfect all-in-one solution for brand new PCs, Norton 360 v2 may be hard to install and run on legacy machines. However, don't count on Symantec's time-consuming and expensive technical support for help.

    Terrible
    0.5/5
    For a good four years, I talked clients into buying Symantec Corporate Antivirus applications. It was for a good reason: they worked well, installed easily, were easy to maintain and they killed bad bugs without killing the host machine.
