Norton 360 Everywhere Extends Powerful Protection to Multiple Devices

Norton 360 Version 6.0 Earns Highest Marks for Protection and Performance

Kuala Lumpur, 22 February 2012 – Norton by Symantec (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced two premium security suites: Norton 360 Everywhere, which protects multiple platforms in one solution, and an update to the award-winning Norton 360. Norton 360 Everywhere, available in the first half of 2012, will provide security across PCs, Macs, Android-based phones and tablets. Norton 360 version 6.0 is available now and has just earned top rankings for both protection and performance.

Many families today have some combination of PCs, Macs, smart phones and tablets – all of which need security of their own to protect against online threats, data loss, and device loss and theft. A recent study1 found that some households have as many as 14 to 20 consumer digital devices. Norton 360 Everywhere will deliver a multiplatform solution where consumers can customize their security to meet their specific needs. “With the introduction of Norton 360 Everywhere, we’ve expanded the powerful protection consumers know and trust to their digital devices,” said David Hall, Regional Consumer Marketing Manager, Asia Pacific, Symantec. “We are enabling consumers to protect their valuable data and personal information on many more devices.”
