Norton 360: Security and privacy featuresĪll Norton products, starting with Norton AntiVirus Plus, include a two-way firewall, an unlimited password manager and a file-backup program. They also include the company's Safe Web browser extensions, which work with Internet Explorer, Edge, Chrome and Firefox. Safe Web's Isolation Mode renders the contents of known dangerous sites as read-only. If you connect to a banking site, Norton runs the browser session in a virtual machine. Norton's Secure VPN comes with Norton 360 Standard and above. Unlike other antivirus companies, Norton doesn't tease you with a free limited-data offering and then make you pay for more - you get unlimited VPN data from the get-go. You can hide your location like a digital James Bond, or just stream localized movies and sports as if you were in London or Mexico City. It took us an average of 6.5 seconds to connect to Norton's VPN, but the VPN's encryption and routing cut our usable bandwidth by half. Need even more help?

If you'd rather mix and match these various services, or you don't need them all, Kaspersky Total Security has excellent malware protection, a password manager, backup software and parental controls plus items Norton lacks, such as a hardened browser, file encryption and file shredding.īitdefender Premium Security swaps out the backup software for unlimited VPN service, but its malware protection is a half-step down from Norton's. McAfee Total Protection + VPN offers identity protection as well as unlimited VPN, but has an even lower caliber of malware protection. "It is a much better gaming device," claims the ad, which is an unusual way to frame Microsoft's popular Surface device.Read more of this story at Slashdot.In other words, no software company covers all aspects of modern-day security as completely as NortonLifeLock.

Elsewhere in the ad, Microsoft tries to position the Surface Pro 7 as a gaming device. Apple is now reportedly planning a redesign for the MacBook Pro later this year, with the Touch Bar rumored to be replaced by physical function keys.
That's something that some MacBook Pro users have been calling for, or just the removal of the Touch Bar altogether. From a report: "Mac gave me this little bar, but why can't they just give me a whole touchscreen'" asks a boy comparing the two laptops.
