For most PC Magazine readers, a hands-on security suite like Norton Internet Security 2008 is the best fit. But when you go to set up Grannys computer, choose Norton 360 version 2.0 instead. It protects a computer just as NIS 2008 does, and it inclu...
Powerful, silent firewall and anti-malware. Fully automated background scanning. Backup to online or local destinations. New Registry cleanup. Built-in access to help, including live chat. Protection for passwords and personal info.
