Shortly after we posted about Norton Security Products, a new Norton product, or better say Norton membership based  service has been released by Symantec.

Welcome the Norton One.

This premium service provides a protection for multiple devices, dedicated priority support and unlimited virus removal service, all in one (remember this All-in-one for Norton 360?). Norton One brings protection for Windows, Mac OS X, and Android based devices.

This powerful Norton security solution has been designed for up to 5 devices (users can add more) protecting any combination of PCs, Macs® or Android™ devices, with 24/7 dedicated, members-only support, unlimited virus and spyware removal service from a Norton One expert, and with 25 GB of online storage for your important stuff.

As per Symantec’s press release from April 4, 2012., Norton One is available for online purchase in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Norton One initially includes Norton 360 version 6.0, Norton Internet Security 2012, Norton Internet Security for Mac, Norton Mobile Security and 25 GB of online storage. The price for one year of Norton One is U.S. $149.99, which includes protection for up to five interchangeable devices with the option to add more when needed, and premium services and automatic protection updates. All Norton One customers with an active account are eligible to download the latest product versions and updates during their paid period.

So as long as one can utilize this premium membership for up to five devices, this may be a good deal. Otherwise, you can still buy a single product which protects one or multiple devices.

In addition, Symantec explains that a security membership provides consumers with a personalized experience, priority support, comprehensive care and exclusive benefits. In addition to delivering best-in-class core protection technologies across multiple devices, the Norton One membership delivers these specific key benefits:

  • Personalized Experience – Each Norton One membership is uniquely tailored to the member’s individual security needs, allowing for customized communications and an entirely personalized experience.
  • Priority Support – Members enjoy a high level of service including exclusive access to Norton One Advisors in an estimated two minutes or less and an Instant Call Back option allowing members to choose when and how they wish to be contacted. Norton One Advisors are dedicated to ensuring that members get the most out of their membership and that their families stay protected.
  • Comprehensive Care – In the unlikely event members think they may have a virus, Norton One Advisors are there. Norton One Advisors will remove any malware on customers’ devices at no additional charge, as long as their Norton One account is active.
  • Exclusive Benefits – In addition to access to dedicated Norton One Advisors and unlimited virus protection assurance, members will receive exclusive special offers for Norton products and services. Norton One membership grows with the changing needs of each member’s household and provides the flexibility to add additional devices to their membership or expand their online storage at any time for a prorated fee.

I think that Symantec has taken a right direction with Norton One, based on the belief that more and more people are using multiple devices on almost daily bases. This can be as simple as having both PC and Mac at home, or any combination of big and small computers, plus handheld devices.

Norton Security Products Overview

Norton security products are considered the best of the best. The problem for most consumers, however, is determining which software package to buy. With three major options – Norton 360, Norton Antivirus and Norton Internet Security – to select from, making a final choice isn’t always easy.

Norton security products are created by Symantec – one of the world’s leaders in security software. Each of the three main Norton products is designed to offer superior antiviral protect to keep computer owners and their data safe from attacks. The products, however, each have a slightly different focus.

Norton AntiVirus

This particular product is with the least number of options among Norton’s security products, but don’t think that means it cut corners. Norton AntiVirus 2012 is simply focused strictly on providing users the best antiviral protections on the market today. It does this by providing superior antivirus protocols, including a smart, two-way firewall. Norton is so serious about providing up-to-the-minute antiviral protections, too. It uses pulse updates to make sure its customers enjoy the latest protections without having to deal with performance-altering downloads.

When Norton AntiVirus is loaded onto a machine, users can expect to receive protection against bots, viruses, worms, Trojans and more. The program also constantly scans emails and instant messages, links, attachments and more for potential hazards.

Norton Internet Security

This product is a step up from Norton AntiVirus. Rather than just protect against viruses, it also helps safeguard users’ online experiences. It does this by blocking potentially harmful spam, providing identity protection and more.
As its name suggests, Norton Internet Security is meant to create a safer online experience for customers. In addition to antiviral and email protections, the product also delivers parental controls, blocks phishing websites that seek to steal identities, warns uses of potentially unsafe websites and much more.

Norton 360

This product features all of the protections that Norton AntiVirus and Norton Internet Security deliver, but it adds a few extra layers of protection. In addition to offering outstanding Internet safety features and antiviral programming, Norton 360 also enables owners to keep their computers running at peak performance. Plus, this package ensures that data is safe no matter what through the inclusion of online backups.

Instead of simply focusing on computer and Internet security, Norton 360, as its name reflects, delivers holistic coverage.

Norton security products are all designed to offer superior antiviral protections to keep computers and their owners safe from attack. Each product, however, is slightly different in the level and type of protection offered.
