Originally, Symantec, the developer of Norton, launched Norton
360 security suite line for users with rudimentary technical knowledge, i.e.
the users who simply wanted protection without many details. As time passed,
Norton Internet Security and Norton 360 converged. The 2013 edition of Norton
360 was equipped with each and every security feature present in Norton
Internet Security. One factor which made it different from Norton Internet
Security is that Norton 360 contained tools for problem-solving and optimization.
