Consumers are constantly threatened by harmful Internet agents, online scams, identity theft and other detrimental computer agents that can make one’s information unsecured.

To combat these problems, Symantec announced Nov. 22 that it has launched the public beta version of its new consumer security service, Norton 360.

Norton 360 integrates Symantec’s PC security and tune-up technologies with new automated backup and online transaction security capabilities designed to protect a user from various computer threats ranging from Internet threats to identity theft as well as protecting a user’s documents, photos and music.

Symantec’s newest security service will also protect a consumer’s confidential information while banking and shopping, as Norton 360 provides users with online identity theft protection.
