Don't catch a Virus this winter

ASSEMBLE THE ULTIMATE PROTECTION FOR YOUR DEVICES WITH NORTON 360 EVERYWHERE!

As the weather turns colder we typically see outbreaks of cold and flu viruses. Many of us will heed the advice of the medical profession and inoculate ourselves with broad-spectrum flu vaccine. Winter is also the time of year that we spend more time indoors and, probably, online. The Internet plays a huge role in our lives, and the latest research from Norton reinforces this, showing that Australians own on average 3.2 internet connected devices. In many cases these devices - tablets, smartphones, ultrabooks/netbooks/Macs - are not protected against viruses, malware and other forms of cybercrime.

With the rapid growth in the number of internet-connected digital devices in our lives we need to consider inoculating ourselves against internet-borne viruses and other forms of cybercrime with a comprehensive digital vaccine such as Norton 360 Everywhere. And, it is no longer just viruses we must protect against, nor is it just the PC, as we saw evident over the last few weeks with the Flashback Trojan hitting Macs. Today we need to ensure we protect all our devices and the digital "STUFF" that matters to us.

Earlier this week, we spoke with Norton's consumer spokesperson and expert, David Hall who provided us with some top tips on how to protect yourself on the net.
