Norton 360 also keeps PCs optimized and tuned for peak performance and protects the data on them by making it easy to back up photos, music, and financial records and restore them at any time. Flexible options allow you to back up your files to CD,
DVD, and
USB devices and to new backup destinations, including HD-
DVD, Blu-ray Disc™, and iPod®. You can also set up convenient, automatic backups to an attached hard drive or a secured online storage service to protect your files in the event something happens to your PC.
For enhanced performance, Norton 360 automatically schedules key functions such as scans, backups, and tuneups to occur in the background so they don’t interfere with your computing activities.
