Norton antivirus , AVG Antivirus , McAfee antivirus, Kaspersky, there are numerous software’s available to defend  your computer against the internet baddies and choosing the right one makes you spoilt for choice. There  has been numerous big corporate tech companies  that have been  at the receiving end of hackers recently. Google , yahoo and many big companies  have been in the news  for systems being compromised.  But its not only the big companies that can get attacked by hackers and viruses but also the home user who is at risk nowadays.

Security threats  an viruses are just around the corner on the Internet these days and protecting your computer against them is compulsory because as long as you surf the internet  your pc can be vulnerable to  attack and viruses. Whenever you go online , visit a website ,download a file, click a link,  your PC is in danger of getting infected by various types of malware and viruses. A secure software is required to defend your pc or computer  against worms, Trojans and hackers.

I have used Norton internet security before  and i used avg  antivirus before i  again switched to  the NEW Norton 360 Multi Device. I received a copy  to review  and i was hooked once again  to my favourite antivirus , just because they have tweaked the anti-virus  quite a bit  to use the least power available from your pc to run the software and also making the running of the antivirus very smooth and unobtrusive to normal internet surfing.

Norton 360 Multi-Device

The first thing that immediately got my attention when i got  the software was that the Norton 360 multi device not only offers protection for your desktop computer , but also can be used to protect your ipad or iphone  or android device and that’s surely a bonus. With fast internet on smartphones and tablets now available  you need to secure all these devices with a antivirus software solution, as they all store personal information and passwords  that can easily get stolen.

It protects against viruses, unsafe websites, and other threats.This software can also be used to create backups for your most important files and folders, to the location you specify
