Verdict: A jack-of-all trades with many good features, but few points of excellence.
When Norton 360 first appeared last year its light footprint and ease of use were a breath of fresh air. Now 360 itself has been refreshed, evolving into the unimaginatively-named Norton 360 v2.0.

In a recent post about del.icio.us, I highlighted the advantages of tagging and saving bookmarks online instead of locally. Having information tethered to one computer is not practical, convenient, or necessary. The same holds true for important data files; your “desktop” takes on a whole new meaning when working with multiple computers in […]
