PC Security
Also new to Norton 360 is Network Monitoring, which checks the status of wireless security, maps connected devices, alerts users when they are connected to an unsecure network, and provides expert advice to help manage network security settings. Norton 360's Smart Background Scheduler has been enhanced with the ability to prevent tasks from initiating automatically while in battery power mode and now throttles bandwidth for online backups to minimize impact on performance. Norton 360 users now have the option to manually scan individual files and folders and to shutdown their computer upon completion of a task.

Identity Protection
Norton 360's antiphishing and Web authentication functionality has now been extended to Firefox. Enhancements have also been made to the Norton toolbar, allowing it to be resized or hidden.

Backup
Tighter integration with Windows Explorer is a new feature in Norton 360. Users now have the option to view the backup status of each document, music file or photo in Windows Explorer. Items that were backed up and those that are pending are easily identifiable with an icon. In addition, a simple right click and select now allows users to add a file to the list for backup.

PC Tuneup
Over time, files stored in the registry - the directory that stores settings and options for the operating system - can build up and slow down a PC. Norton 360 now boasts Registry File Cleanup, which optimizes PC performance by removing unneeded files. Norton 360 also provides a Diagnostic Report for easy system troubleshooting and problem solving. The product's Internet Browser Cleanup capability is also compatible with Firefox.

One-Click Support
Norton 360 features One-Click Support, giving customers the ability to get help fast with one click access right from the product's interface. Users can solve common problems quickly with the Auto-fix feature and can contact Symantec's support technicians via telephone, e-mail or 24x7 live chat. Symantec's support technicians can also assist with more complex problems via PC remote access.

Parental Control and AntiSpam
Norton 360 customers can receive Parental Control and AntiSpam through an optional add-on pack available via download at no additional charge. Norton Parental Control now allows individual user settings tied into existing Windows User Accounts and the ability to choose pre-defined profiles or create custom profiles that can be used once or reused. The new Log Viewer feature records attempts to access restricted sites based on user profile. The AntiSpam feature now also includes improved spam filter setup, retrieving and merging pre-existing white and black lists from Outlook e-mail addresses and pre-existing Norton AntiSpam lists.
