Hello, i currently have Norton Internet Security 2010. and i saw that NIS 2011 is available.
Now, i do want the system works as well so i thought of Norton 360 that includes NIS + System works BUT i dont want to buy N360 version 4 and in a month to see Version 5.
Is version 4 going to last a year like NIS2011?
If so, cool!
If not, will i be able to receive all the new version of N360 for a year??
thank you in advance
Hi n1h1l1sT,
Norton 360 versions are usually released in spring, so version 5 will probably come out in late winter/early spring 2011; so yes, the Norton 360 versions last for a year - but they are not released at the same time as NIS.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by N360 includes SystemWorks since SystemWorks was a seperate product that Symantec have discontinued.
Norton Internet Security contains everything that Norton 360 contains except the backup facility with some online storage and the PC Cleanup utiliites but in the essentials of security protection NIS 2011 is ahead of N360 for the phasing details that Yaso gives.
Personally I do not encourage the use of pc cleanup utilities as a matter of routine but only if you have a problem that you have reason to think can be dealt with -- which means you need to know the probable answer yourself! Some of the stuff that these utiliites do is in fact built into Windows itself if you know where to look for it or is done by Windows automatically in the background.
Again personally, I prefer to organize my own backup system but I recognize that this feature may be useful if you do not have a backup procedure -- provided you actually use it!
I'd stick with NIS 2011 which costs less than N360 anyway!
Just my 2¢ ....
Hello n1h1l1sT
Welcome to the Norton Community Forum
System Works unfortunately was last issued in 2009. You won't find everything that was in System works in N360.
i see. Yaso_kuuhl thank you for ur answer. However my question still stands:
Will i be able to download Version 5 for free when it pops up in some months?
It would be totally unfair if not :S i mean.. i paid 70 euro...
Yes, you will be able to upgrade for free to version 5 with a running subscription :-)
thank you very much!
My question is solved
You're welcome :-)
