Norton 360 Version 2.0

In February this year, Symantec had launched the Norton 360 all-in-one security solution. Now, the company has announced that version 2.0 of this software will be available by early-January 2008.

Since its launch, Norton 360 has proved to be a great PC security suite and the solution continues to win praise from customers and the industry in general. In fact, it is known that the software’s popularity stems from its “silent security” approach, which provides strong protection with minimal interruption.

Norton 360 version 2.0 software offers a number of new features which are fueled by the need to provide computer users with the latest advanced protection against online threats and customer feedback.

Norton 360 version 2.0 not only secures the user’s online activities and data, but also makes protection simple and unobtrusive. The new version also makes it easier to navigate settings.

Listed below are the notable new features of Norton 360 version 2.0:
