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

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.

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.
