I’ve seen many applications revolutionized between one version and another. Burned several times a long time ago and never got over it. Slow, bulky and removal is like Spiderman trying to pull of Venom. Same reasons as everyone else pretty much.
Yeah, I’ve been a Norton hater for years now. Users who only need specific modules might want to consider the two other Norton products Norton Antivirus or Norton Internet Security instead. The purpose of an all-in-one solution like Norton 360 on the other hand is to be the one program that is needed to secure the PC. if you run a firewall you might not want to run another one, same for the backup solution or web browser protection). This includes disabling modules that are not needed (e.g. It is a good idea to tweak the settings at least once. Norton 360 itself runs pretty much automated. That's great and somewhat unexpected considering the past. Both the system start and the system itself do not feel noticeably slower than before (startup and shutdown time is probably in the region of 1-2 additional seconds at the most). One point of criticism that has haunted Norton products for years seems to have been taken good care of by the Norton developers.
A system restart is required after installation of Norton 360 which was not noticeably slower than before. This can look like overload to some users but the first surprise awaits during the installation of Norton 360.

Users who install Norton 360 get among other features an antivirus solution that protects against all forms of malware (including bots, rootkits, viruses, trojans and spyware), a software firewall, email protection, web browser protection, identity protection, a file backup solution, secure networking and PC tuneup modules. Norton 360 is Norton's top of the line product that combines all features of Norton Antivirus, Norton Internet Security and some additional ones exclusive to this version. I quickly received a review copy of Norton 360 and started the test about a month ago. I contacted Norton with my proposal and they were all for it. I wanted to know if Norton antivirus and Norton 360 were as good as the press thought they were or if they were still the heavyweight security suites that would bog down a system noticeably. That's the moment the idea for this review was born. Norton software programs have on the other hand received lots of praise from computer magazines and reviewers. There are still many tech savvy users who avoid Norton antivirus and other software programs from Norton because of how they performed ten or more years ago. I decided to skip Norton products for my whole life like many other users at that time. Norton was renowned back in the days when I started using personal computers for resource hungry security applications that could slow down computer systems significantly.
