Freebee Friday: All-Around PC Security

If recovering from hack attacks, malware and viruses is taking up too much of your time, a new approach to security is in order. Symantec’s Norton 360 can cover school computers from all angles, including virus protection, online backup, a bootable recovery tool as well as a cool new rating of how risky the computer user has been. Its interface is easier to use and the program now works with all the major Web browsers rather than just Internet Explorer and Firefox. All told, it is a promising way to protect a district’s worth of computers, and the beta of Version 5 is now online for a tryout. It's all now available as a free download of the developmental beta.
