With an array of defenses that range from good malware protection, a password manager and backup software to online storage, unlimited VPN service and three different levels of add-on identity protection, Norton 360 stands out from the crowd as one of the most complete security suites available anywhere. Its scanner can defend a computer but too often flagged safe software as dangerous and none of the suites include a file shredder, encryption or the ability to recover files attacked by ransomware.
