Symantec's next-generation security software is officially named Norton 360 and faces a delay from the original September due date.
"Lighter" is the key word Symantec hopes customers will feel when installing Norton 360 version 2.0, which is the company's security and backup system for small business and home users that was launched today.
Symantec took a step towards turning itself into a provider of hosted services for small- and medium-sized businesses this week when it started beta testing an online backup service in the US.
Security researchers worked overtime in 2007, which turned out to be a nightmare for software vendors from day one.
McAfee said on Tuesday that it plans to release four versions of its new "Falcon" security products, which is designed to rival Symantec and newcomer Microsoft.
Today, Symantec released Norton 360 Version 2.0, but I wonder whether the security giant has learned from its past mistakes?

Consumers now are getting more for less of their money when they buy security software.
For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance. We recommend it over McAfee Total Protection and Microsoft Windows Live OneCare.
While Symantec's protection is solid, the overall user experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be much, much better. Not all the features work together and use fewer system resources.
