Browser Protection - Browser Protection secures your web browser against drive-by downloads from malicious web sites by plugging common vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer.

Identity Safe - Identity Safe provides you with a convenient and secure way to manage and submit logins, passwords and other private information during web browsing. Identity Safe automatically detects, stores and secures logins and passwords, and also supports different Identity Cards such as an anonymous profile for unfamiliar sites, a corporate profile for business purchasing, or a social profile for dating sites.

Network Management
    Network Map - The Network Map provides you with a visual picture of your network and each device that is connected to it. Users can remotely monitor the security status of other Norton-protected PCs via the Network Map.
    Wireless Security - Wireless Security helps you determine whether your connected wireless network is secure or not secure.
    Trust Controls - Trust Controls allows you to change the firewall settings governing access authorization from within the Network Management console.
Scan, then Shutdown - Norton 360 allows users to time-shift their tasks by providing an option to shutdown their PC upon completion of a scan, backup or tuneup.
