Norton 360 Combines Security and Remote Access

With Internet crime on the rise, a PC without proper protection can easily become infected in under five minutes once it is connected to the Internet. Your files and personal information are at risk almost immediately. In fact, it has been found that one out of every three adults working online has lost data that they were not able to replace.

In order to keep you safe, Symantec has created a version of Norton 360 that not only provides you with the latest and greatest in security technology, but also includes remote access that allows you to back up your important data securely. This version of Norton 360 also provides the best protection against web-based attacks, including social networking threats. In fact, recent third-party tests scored the Norton security software a hundred percent regarding protection.

The use of smartphones is expected to make up close to half of the mobile phone sales around the world as early as 2013. With Norton 360 4.0 comes its first beta application to support the Android. In addition, Norton also has released its first beta applications for the iPhone and the iPad.

Once you have downloaded the free application of your choice at the iPhone App Store or at the Android market, if you have data that is stored online with the Norton 360 software or the Norton Online Backup, you will be able to share and access you music, videos, documents and photos right on your mobile device.

The Norton services and products that are available currently help over eleven thousand satisfied customers remain connected because no matter where they are or what time it is they can always access the data that they have saved online. Users of the Norton 360 security software using online storage space are able to access any files they need simply by using a web browser. They can download it if they choose, or they can email a link to their family, business associates and friends.

Norton 360 now comes with the same technology that was released last year with Norton Antivirus and Norton Internet Security. The technology is able to take on malware that has yet to be discovered as well as many of the toughest threats plaguing computers today.

In third-party tests, real-world web attacks were replicated, including those that target popular social networking sites. Of the ten products that were tested in the study, Norton was the only product to offer effective protection from all threats with a score of one hundred percent.
