Symantec's Senior Vice President, Rowan Trollope said, "We designed Norton 360 to deliver reliable, industry-leading protection without being obtrusive or sacrificing PC performance. Norton 360 meets customers' needs and expectations by providing the best PC security, identity protection, backup and tune-up technologies available without confusing alerts, difficult settings options or interruptions to their computing experience."
