I have been using 360 since we beta'd version 3.0. There are not too many changes, the one notable one is that ability through manage to transfer licences to new machines (relatively) easily.

It would be good to have the map made optional, personally I think the colour scheme is growing on me as I don't think it looks too bad now.

I have rang most of the bells and blew most of the whistles incorporated in the Norton software and although they might be useful to some people I think they were a bit overwhelming. The colour scheme is of little interest to me so not bothered about that. The nitty gritty operations i.e. the firewall, anti virus scanning, email scanning and website checking ran in the background and seemed to do their job very well and like recent Norton software it is very resource friendly. I am not sure I would buy this software as I believe that there are free software out there that would do the job almost as well and for nothing. Having said that I like the software and if someone was looking to purchase software of this ilk I would recommend it.

I do not think I would buy N360 even though it works well in the back ground.I like the operation of the password manager except I am probally a bit of a Ludite and would not use it for special security passwords such as bank accounts, after all if it was not for pc 'crackers etc' Norton and Norton updates would not be required. Having spoken to another silver surfer neighbour who used to buy a N360 3 pc licence for himself and two grandchildren he has now reverted to basic Norton Internet security because of the cost and they could not understand all the bells and whistles.

I would buy 360 v6. I have used 360 since participating in the v3 beta test and have been happy to stay with it, taking the free upgrade each year. I like the fact that, once it is set-up as I want it, it is completely unobtrusive and I don't need think about it.

Apart from the GUI colours, overall I like the application a great deal. As someone who works in retail and installs a lot of copies of N360 and NIS on machines daily, this version is continuing the trend seen since 2009 - fast installation, little impact on system load, easy to use and configure.
