Norton 360 All-In-One Security Released

I'd sure like to know if that is true or not. There is a thread on 360 over at dslreports started by a Symantec employee. I asked in that thread if the lack of right click scanning is true. I've been ignored. I would probably try it (now that avira won't stop accessing my floppy drive every sixty seconds just because I use Nero) but I don't want any AV without right click scan ability. I probably wouldn't like all the "extras" in it...but who knows?

 

yes it doesnt offer that, but..... all downloaded files are scanned automatically

 

And that's a fact. That's even better than the right scan of files and dirs. Again: 360 is a great product for the majority of the normal PC users. And I like it too

 

edwin, however.......

the NIS 2007 does have right click scanning, plus automatic scanning of files downloaded.

i cant see 360 being better than their suite

 

360 has more security. And from March 30 even more.

 

how has 360 got more security over their own suite?

 

Maybe for you it is, but with subnetted PCs on a home network that don't all run Norton 360, files have many ways to make it onto those PCs without being directly downloaded from the Internet: file sharing, USB thumb drives, CD or DVD-rom drives, or wireless to name just a few.
To not include a right-click scanning option is a blatant oversight, and a deal-breaker IMO.

 

I just asked this after you said "...and it protects the PC's very good".

I thought you did sorta home-made test
