New Norton 360 Available! Add-On Pack has Improved Parental Controls

Our 2.0 release of Norton 360 (my all time favorite internet security program for every family) is out today! http://www.symantec.com/norton360/?inid=us_ghp_promo_hero1_norton360 gives all the juicy details on new features and improvements. We use Norton 360 at our house and I just love that because it takes care of so many security and maintenance tasks without me doing anything, I no longer hear my kids telling me about a security alert I need to deal with, or a website that was incorrectly blocked. Norton 360 works really well for us and has kept our home computer virus-free since it was installed. Another big win for all Norton 360 families are some improvements to the free, add-on pack, bringing back user accounts so you can customize the settings to protect each child. The younger children get a pre-approved lists of websites to visit, while older children get protection from blocked, objectionable categories of sites, like "adult" or "hate" sites, while retaining the ability to research and get homework done.

 

And if backup is the one thing you never find time to do, with Norton 360, you might just get it taken care of. You will need to think about what you want to protect (photos, music, tax records, etc) and where you want to back it up, but once you've set things up, Norton 360 will manage getting it done for you. And with the improvements in the new 2.0 version, it's also going to keep you aware of the backup status better than before.
