    An all-round system suite that will keep things secure

    Fantastic and friendly user-interface, efficient scanner, phishing filter, manages private data such as passwords, online backup, works during idle time

    Shady way of making a sale, not for advanced users' who'd like to tweak under the hood, a little more performance impact than Norton's Internet Security Suite 2010, no admin privilege elevation for limited users

User-Friendly Interface

Out of all the security products including Norton's very own and other Security Suites or System Suites, Norton's 360 has the best and the easiest user-interface to work with. Nowhere is the interface clunky and boring, and neither does Norton bog you down with security jargon.



The interface is neatly skinned, with a one-stop check on whether all systems are a go and with a re-assurance of "You are Protected" prominently displayed. Advanced users might find this quite unnecessary and noobish, but considering that the target audience is the average Joe, the main screen is perfect!



Clicking on "Tasks" above will immediately bring up the Task screen, which presents a lot of options, but minus all technical jargon, with each option clearly explained in a sentence.



You'll see similar friendly structure with the more advanced "Settings" page.

In spite of me testing a lot of security products and being well versed with security terminologies, I'm more than pleasantly surprised. In fact I'm ecstatic that a Security product manufacturer has taken so much pain over the user-interface. This is what other security vendors ought to be aiming at in terms of interface and ease of use.

The first image on Page 2 "User Friendly Interface" is of Norton 360 V3 & not of V4, as the last image on Page 1 mentions.... Com on Techtree....that wasn't anticipated!

techtree, you announced a contest with NVIDIA. It's been quite some time and we still don't have the results. Was it just a publicity stunt for your new site look or have you pocketed the prizes ? You have left all fans disappointed.
