Filed under: Security, Windows, Symantec, Beta

Symantec has just released a beta version of Norton 360 version 2.0, the latest update of the all-in-one protection suite for the PC.

Norton 360 version 2.0 claims a host of new and updated features:

• Faster performance of virus scans
  
• Faster boot times
  
• New browser protections
  
• New identity protections to manage passwords and sensitive information
  
• Support for new backup destinations including HD-DVD, Blu-Ray, and even iPods
• Comes in three flavors: apple, cherry, and tutti-frutti (okay, so we made this one up; just making sure you're paying attention out there)
  

The beta site has been refreshed with all the necessary information. You'll even see some fresh new fonts, Symantec's attempt at connecting with our hipster generation.

If you want to be a beta tester, no problem: the Norton 360 beta is available to all. You'll want to uninstall all previous Norton Antivirus solutions prior to installing the beta. And you know this already, but we'll say it anyway: Windows only.
