Norton 360, developed by Symantec, is marketed as an "all-in-one" security suite. The package includes a personal firewall, phishing protection and the ability to detect and remove malware. Separating this suite from Norton Internet Security is the inclusion of file backup and PC maintenance capabilities.
The package is distributed as a download, a box copy, or is preinstalled on computers as OEM software. Additional functions, including parental controls and e-mail spam filtering, are available as extensions developed also by Symantec. The suite competes with Microsoft Security Essentials and the McAfee Total Protection suite.
Norton 360 is compatible with 32-bit editions of Windows XP and 32-bit or 64-bit editions of Windows Vista.Windows 7 support has been added
