THE GOOD
Norton 360 is mercifully light on system resources; it's intuitive, covers most of the bases that a comprehensive security-and-performance tool should, and includes free online storage.

THE BAD
Norton 360 doesn't support Firefox or Opera browsers; doesn't include wireless security tools, doesn't provide an ID vault for passwords or credit card info.

THE BOTTOM LINE
For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance. We recommend it over McAfee Total Protection and Microsoft Windows Live OneCare.

    Terrible
    0.5/5
    I have used Norton for years without issue. 360 messed up all 3 of my computers and once you put it on, you can't just take it off to fix the issues. If you have Quickbooks- watch out! This program has many compatability issues and will cause man...  read more »
