The latest version of Norton 360 4.0 is finally here. Norton 360, developed by Symantec, is marketed as an “all-in-one” security suite. The package includes a personal firewall, phishing protection, ability to detect and remove malware, file backup and PC maintenance capabilities. The previous Norton 360 v3 is based on Norton 2009 products and it’s no surprise that this latest Norton 360 v4 is based on Norton 2010.
Norton 360 v4 claims to come with a few new features such as Norton Insight, Norton Download Insight, SONAR 2 Behavioral Protection, Norton System Insight and Norton File Insight but honestly we’ve seen these features more than 5 months ago when Norton AV and IS 2010 was released. There are only 2 new features which are really new that is “Reputation service” and “Web-based Access to Backup Files”. The reputation service adds an additional layer of protection to detect viruses, Trojans, spyware, and other threats. Norton reputation service technology scrutinizes different attributes of files and applications in real-time to determine if they are safe. As for the Web-based Access to Backup Files feature, it allows you to retrieve and restore files that you backed up online anytime, anywhere, from virtually any computer with Internet access.
I ran a benchmark on Norton 360 v4 to compare against the previous Norton 360 v3 and it doesn’t seem to have much difference.
Application Launch Time
Norton 360 v3: 1.58582 seconds
Norton 360 v4: 1.09988 secondsBoot Time Increase
Norton 360 v3: 53.885 seconds
Norton 360 v4: 54.259 secondsIdle Memory Usage
Norton 360 v3: 3.7MB
Norton 360 v4: 16.8MBPeak Memory Usage
Norton 360 v3: 99.7MB
Norton 360 v4: 105.6MBInstallation Size
Norton 360 v3: 79.1MB
Norton 360 v4: 138MBFull Scan Time
Norton 360 v3: 361 seconds
Norton 360 v4: 390 secondsBifrost Trojan Crypted with Incognito Detection
Norton 360 v3: Runtime = NO, Scantime = NO
Norton 360 v4: Runtime = NO, Scantime = NO
One thing I don’t understand is why doesn’t Norton 360 v4 blocks the trojan on runtime when Norton Antivirus 2010 and Norton Internet Security 2010 able to successfully block it? Norton 360 v4 should be using the same NAV/NIS 2010 codebase for its antivirus and spyware detection unless I am wrong about it.
Since Norton products are subscription based, you can upgrade to v4 for free if you still have an active subscription. You cannot upgrade to v4 from LiveUpdate because you can only get small update patches and definition files. You will have to download the Norton 360 v4 setup file which is 138MB in size and just install over it. If you’re interested in trying out the latest Norton 360 v4, you can download the setup from the link below. After installation, it gives you a free 90 days subscription.

I have used Norton 360 for a couple of years now and have had no major issues with it but, upon completion of installation of Norton 360 v4.0 the scroll functions on my Sony Vio VGN-520N laptop touchpad are no longer to be found. How do I re-enable these functions? I am running a 32 bit version of Windows Vista Business with service pack 2. I tried Symantec tech support and they only managed to erase most of my saved passwords.
i had this program try to get it back on
thanks you posted
goood norton 360
good norton 360
This is cool thing.
Thanks raymond
Hey raymond. I have one question.
Should i run Threatfire along with Avira Free Version ?
dear R thk you a lot
Since symantec bought pctools, maybe 360 is using the pctools AV. Not sure why they’d do that but obviously NAV & 360 are not the same.
Wonder about Symantec’s corporate AV SEP 11? Very simple and easy to use but I’ve never thought it gave as much protection.
FWIW happily using NAV 2010 with Online Armor++ (including A-Squared). No problems and things are working great.
Dear Raymond,
Frankly speaking I trust in you and your reviews. I’m so confused these days for choosing a paid internet security. What’s your opinion and review about Norton Internet Security 2010, Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, and Avira Premium Security Suite 9??
Which one would you choose regardless of the price. Also PCs are a bit out of date, so performance and low CPU usage is important.
HELP PLZ
Norton is very good, but how trial version 30 or 90 days? The officially norton.com is 30 days trial?
i’m using Avira and it’s very excellent. Anyway thanks for sharing.
Norton? What a joke. You’d be better off using Avira free.
Right thing at the right time, Ray!
Thanks so much!
Thank you ray
Thank You Raymond for the downloads.
Thanks Ray. I prefer my Norton Antivirus 2010 along with COMODO and Zemana Antilogger….
Hi Reymond,
Any update about your Xray project.
I am awaiting to know what exactly it is as you promised it would be unique one which we have never seen before..

thanks for posting ray. but i will stick to my antivirus also since lot of problems encountered by many users of Norton.
Esto si raymond, felicitaciones!!!!! es lo que la gente busca , programas seguridad , versiones gratis por algun periodo de tiempo,excelente , estas volviendo, sigue asi!!!!!
Thank u so much, man i have a version 3.0 codes and u cant find get the program from the site itself and thats sad, bro these small things make a difference
Norton Firewall is almost useless and it’s sonar protection detests almost every single silent installer out there !! also , it detects a dozen of brand new programs which makes a lot of programmers sick about it !!! However , the crypted BiFrost always gets blocked by NIS 2010 as you mentioned < I tested over a hundred and nothing went through … However , booting time will highly increased after you install Norton 2010 but in general Norton is Awesome especially with Sonar 2
Hi Rey.Thanks For This Post.But I Prefer To Stick With My Eset Smart Security And Zemana Anti Logger.
Thanks Again.
Raymond
Is Norton really good,I heard that its bloated and resource hogger.How effective is it?I would love to know your advice to whether to use Norton or not.
