Norton 360

With the growing menace of criminal acts in cyberspace, I am considering buying some computer security programs.
I thinking of getting the Norton 360 as it covers all devices. I would like to seek the advice of IT experts here. R these Norton s/w good and necessary?
Do we need them?

Thank u in advance.

Agree. All IT security software are rubbish. To prevent anyone attack or hacker. The best way is dont connect it to internet or go online.

Norton = bloated crapware. Only gongkia hipsters will buy Norton software, especially from Challenger.

There was (note the past tense) only one good product from Norton: Norton Ghost. Now Acronis is better than Ghost.

yeah. last time i was gongkia enuff to buy legal copies of Norton Utilities & other Norton s/w from Challenger. More than 10 yrs have transpired.. I think Norton should have bucked up with their latest offerings. I need an automated and professional grade security s/w. Kinda of paranoid these days.

Well, will read reviews from CNET, ZDNET to find out more.

I second that. Acronis is much much better than stupid Ghost.

This is very true. Security software detects potential threats and give user warning before running or opening a file. How would a user know if he should proceed ? Might as well don't connect to internet LOL
