free download norton 360 v2 antivirus

Norton 360 v2 is designed to cover all the bases--antivirus, firewall, antiphishing, antispyware, backup, performance issues, and online transaction security--and therefore doesn't require the maintenance of separate security and utility products. This may sound good, if you want one company handling all your PC needs. However, advanced users will notice a lack of richly detailed setting options found in the standalone products from competing vendors. The features Symantec includes are for general audiences not necessarily versed in security.

Similar to Microsoft Windows Live OneCare, Symantec Norton 360 v2 has added a network map, allowing you, as home network administrator, to see the security status of other computers on your home network.

Norton 360 v2 extends antisphishing protection to Firefox. However, you will need to reboot the computer to install the Norton toolbar to Firefox. In addition, we found that the technical support section always opens up Internet Explorer even when the default Web browser is Firefox.

Enhanced Backup features tighter integration with Blu-ray, iPods, and other shared devices. Within Windows Explorer, right-click and select the method you wish to back up a file or directory.

Enhancements to PC Tuneup include the capability to remove unneeded registry files, automatic shutdown after a task (say a thorough scan or backup of your machine), new diagnostic reports for easy problem solving, and browser cleanup tools for Firefox.

Additional features are contained within the Norton 360 v2 add-on pack. The pack includes Parental Controls, antispam tools, and confidential information blocking tools. Norton makes the download an option for people who do not want or need these services, and it requires a reboot of your system.

When a window is active (its taskbar button appears pressed down), clicking its taskbar button minimizes the window. That means that the window disappears from the desktop. Minimizing a window doesn't close it or delete its contents—it merely removes it from the desktop temporarily.

In the picture below, Calculator has been minimized, but not closed. You can tell it's still running because it has a button on the taskbar.

Minimizing Calculator leaves only its taskbar button visible

You can also minimize a window by clicking the Minimize button, in the upper-right corner of the window:

Working with windows

Whenever you open a program, file, or folder, it appears on your screen in a box or frame called a window (that's where the Windows operating system gets its name). Because windows are everywhere in Windows, it's important to understand how to move them, change their size, or just make them go away.

Parts of a window

Although the contents of every window are different, all windows share some things in common. For one thing, windows always appear on the desktop—the main work area of your screen. In addition, most windows have the same basic parts:

Parts of a typical window

•	Title bar. Displays the name of the document and program (or the folder name if you're working in a folder).
•	Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons. These buttons hide the window, enlarge it to fill the whole screen, and close it, respectively (more details on these shortly).
•	Menu bar. Contains items that you can click to make choices in a program. See Using menus, buttons, bars, and boxes.
•	Scroll bar. Lets you scroll the contents of the window to see information that is currently out of view.
•	Borders and corners. You can drag these with your mouse pointer to change the size of the window.

Other windows might have additional buttons, boxes, or bars. But they'll usually have the basic parts, too.

using menu botton

Menus, buttons, scroll bars, and check boxes are examples of controls that you operate with your mouse or keyboard. These controls allow you to select commands, change settings, or work with windows. This section describes how to recognize and use controls that you'll encounter frequently while using Windows.

Using menus

Most programs contain dozens or even hundreds of commands (actions) that you use to work the program. Many of these commands are organized under menus. Like a restaurant menu, a program menu shows you a list of choices. To keep the screen uncluttered, menus are hidden until you click their titles in the menu bar, located just underneath the title bar. For example, clicking "Image" in Paint's menu bar displays the Image menu:

Clicking a word in the menu bar opens a menu

To choose one of the commands listed in a menu, click it. Sometimes a dialog box appears, in which you can select further options. If a command is unavailable and cannot be clicked, it is shown in gray, like the Crop command in the picture.

Some menu items are not commands at all. Instead, they open other menus. In the following picture, pointing to "Zoom" opens a submenu. Pointing to "Custom" in the submenu would open yet another submenu.

Some menu commands open submenus

If you don't see the command you want, try looking at another menu. Move your mouse pointer along the menu bar and its menus open automatically; you don't need to click the menu bar again. To close a menu without selecting any commands, click the menu bar or any other part of the window.

Recognizing menus isn't always easy, because not all menu controls look alike or even appear on a menu bar. So how can you spot them? When you see an arrow next to a word or picture, you're probably looking at a menu control. Here are some examples:

Examples of menu controls

how to Keep track of your windows

if you need free software and free games plus naruto video komplit download it here

If you open more than one program or document at a time, you can quickly start piling up windows on your desktop. Because windows often cover each other or take up the whole screen, it's sometimes hard to see what else is underneath or remember what you've already opened.

That's where the taskbar comes in handy. Whenever you open a program, folder, or document, Windows creates a button on the taskbar corresponding to that item. The button shows the icon and name of the item. In the picture below, two programs are open—Calculator and Minesweeper—and each has its own button on the taskbar.

Each program has its own button on the taskbar

Notice how the taskbar button for Minesweeper appears pressed in. That indicates that Minesweeper is the active window, meaning that it's in front of any other open windows and is ready for you to interact with.

To switch to another window, click its taskbar button. In our example, clicking the taskbar button for Calculator brings its window to the front:

For the version included in this torrent other users recommend you should:
Run the patch or it will not accept the key made by the keygen.
Otherwise it will display that your key has expired.

*Note: Personally, in the version I installed [when installing this one said I should
update] the patch seems to help but you should disable automatic updates so that
it stops displaying it has expired and you should also generate a new key.

To check for updates enable the automatic updates and then
put a new key afterwards for ir to work.
If that doesn’t work, try running the patch afterwards.

Registering for the Start Menu E-mail Link

Any application can register to appear as an e-mail client on the Start menu.

E-mail settings are kept in two places. The registry key
[HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail]
describes the e-mail applications that are installed on the system, as well as the default e-mail application.

The key
[HKCU\Software\Clients\Mail]
describes the e-mail client that will be launched when the user clicks the Email icon on the Start menu.

If the HKCU\Software\Clients\Mail key is blank or missing, then the value from HKLM is used to select the e-mail application that will appear on the Start menu.

Underneath [HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail] may be zero or more subkeys, one for each registered email application. For example, a hypothetical system might have:
[HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\Eudora]
[HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\Outlook Express]
[HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\HotMail]
Consider a hypothetical e-mail client called "Lit Mail" by Litware Inc. Litware Inc. decides that it's suitable to register this e-mail client under the internal name "LitMail". Again, the internal name is some unique string that is never shown to the user.

To install an e-mail client as the default, use this registry key:
[HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\LitMail]
(Default)=REG_SZ:Lit Mail
"LocalizedString"=REG_SZ:@C:\Program Files\LitwareInc\ResourceDLL.dll,-456
The "LocalizedString" value is a REG_SZ that provides a path to an .exe or .dll file and a decimal integer. The decimal integer is the string resource ID within the DLL whose value is to be displayed to the user. This allows the same registration to be used for multiple languages. Each language would provide a different ResourceDLL.dll, and the dynamic loading of the string from the DLL would result in the correct string being displayed, depending on the language selected. Note that the string begins with an "at" sign (@).

After updating the registry keys, the application broadcasts the WM_SETTINGCHANGE message with wParam = 0 and lParam pointing to the null-terminated string "Software\Clients\Mail" to notify the operating system that the default client has changed.

For backward compatibility with applications that do not support localized strings, the name of the application in the installed language should also be set as the default value for the key.

Use the following registry key to indicate the icon to display if the user selects Lit Mail as the Start menu mail program:
[HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\LitMail\DefaultIcon]
(Default)=REG_SZ:C:\Program Files\LitwareInc\LitMail.exe,1
Use the following registry key to specify a command line for the e-mail client to use if the user clicks the E-mail menu item and Lit Mail is the preferred Start menu e-mail program. It is also the command line that is run if the user selects Read e-mail from the Microsoft Internet Explorer Tools menu. Notice that because there is a space in the path, the .exe name must be enclosed in quotes.
[HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\shell\open\command]
(Default)=REG_SZ:"C:\Program Files\LitwareInc\LitMail.exe" -inbox
If (and only if) the user specifies Lit Mail to be the default Start menu e-mail application, the Lit Mail application may write its internal name to the following key:
[HKCU\Software\Clients\Mail] (Default)=REG_SZ:LitMail
If (and only if) the user specifies Lit Mail to be the system-wide default e-mail application, the Lit Mail application may write its internal name to the key specified below. Note that access to this key may be restricted. Applications should not assume that all users have permission to change the system-wide default e-mail application.
[HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail]
(Default)=REG_SZ:LitMail
NOTES:

Registration as the default Start menu e-mail application is different from registration as the system default e-mail client or the registered mailto handler. The system default e-mail client is started when the user clicks Read e-mail from the Internet Explorer Tools menu. The registered mailto handler is launched when the user clicks an URL of the form mailto:someone@microsoft.com. The Start menu e-mail application is used when the user clicks the E-mail icon on the Start menu.

If there is no default Start menu e-mail application specified, then the E-mail icon on the Start menu will start the system default e-mail client.

This article does not cover registering as the default mailto protocol handler. Applications that want to register in such manner should continue to follow existing specifications on this subject. This section mainly repeats information provided elsewhere. The only addition to the existing behavior is the definition of the [HKCU\Software\Clients\Mail] registry key.

Add a Destination to the Send To Menu

By default, the Send To menu in Windows XP lists the following commands (destinations):
• Compressed (zipped) Folder
• Desktop (create shortcut)
• Mail Recipient
• My Documents
• 3 1/2 Floppy (A:)

2. In the Open box, type sendto, and then click OK.

Follow the instructions in the Create Shortcut Wizard.
A new shortcut is created in the SendTo folder, and it is displayed on the Send To menu.

change the visual effects of windows

Windows provides several options to set the visual effects of your computer. For example, you can show shadows under menus. Shadows give menus a 3-D look. You can configure Windows to display all the contents of a window while you move the window on your screen. To make large text more readable, you can display the smooth edges of screen fonts.

Windows provides options to turn on all the settings (for best appearance), or none of the settings (for best computer performance). You can also restore the default settings.

To change the visual effects, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, and then type sysdm.cpl in the Open box.
2. Click the Advanced tab, and then under Performance, click Settings.
3. Click the Visual Effects tab, and then use one of the following methods:
• Click Adjust for best performance to have Windows automatically adjust the settings for best performance.
• Click Adjust for best appearance to have Windows automatically adjust the settings for best appearance.
• Click Custom, and then select the check boxes for those items that you want to turn on. Clear the check boxes for the items that you want to turn off.

change the size of the virtual memory paging file manually

You must be logged on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.
1. Click Start, click Run, and then type sysdm.cpl in the Open box.
2. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Performance.
3. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Change under Virtual memory.
4. Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file that you want to change.
5. Under Paging file size for selected drive, click Custom size, type a new paging file size in megabytes (MB) in the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box, and then click Set.
If you decrease the size of either the initial or maximum paging file settings, you must restart your computer to see the effects of those changes. When you increase the paging file size, you typically do not have to restart your computer.

Notes
• To have Windows select the best paging file size, click System managed size. The recommended minimum size is equivalent to 1.5 times the RAM on your computer, and 3 times that figure for the maximum size. For example, if you have 256 MB of RAM, the minimum size is 384 MB, and the maximum size is 1152 MB.
• For best performance, do not set the initial size to less than the minimum recommended size under Total paging file size for all drives. The recommended size is equivalent to 1.5 times the RAM on your computer. It is good practice to leave the paging file at its recommended size. However, you may increase its size if you frequently use programs that use much memory.
• To delete a paging file, set both the initial size and the maximum size to zero, or click No paging file. We strongly recommend that you do not disable or delete the paging file.

tips to manually optimize the memory usage

You can optimize your computer's memory usage. If you use your computer primarily as a workstation instead of as a server, you can devote more memory to your programs. Your programs will work faster and your system cache size will remain the default size that came with Windows XP. You can also set aside more computer memory for a larger system cache if your computer is used primarily as a server, or if you use programs that require a larger cache.
1. Click Start, click Run, and then type sysdm.cpl in the Open box.
2. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Performance.
3. Click the Advanced tab, and then use one of the following methods under Memory usage:
• Click Programs if you use your computer primarily as a workstation instead of as a server. This option allocates more memory to your programs.
• Click System cache if your computer is used primarily as a server or if you use programs that use a larger cache.

how to set performance options in Windows XP

How to manually manage processor time Windows manages system processing. Windows can allocate tasks between processors and manage multiple processes on a single processor. However, you can set Windows to allocate more processor time to the program that you are currently running. The added processor time causes programs to respond more quickly. Or, if you have background programs such as printing or disk backup that you want to run while you work, you can have Windows share processor resources equally between background and foreground programs.

Note You must be logged on as an administrator to the local computer or have the correct network credentials to make certain changes in System.

How to manually change the performance of foreground and background programs
1. Click Start, click Run, and then type sysdm.cpl in the Open box.
2. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Performance.
3. Click the Advanced tab, and then use one of the following methods under Processor scheduling:
• Click Programs to assign more processor resources to the foreground program than the background program.
• Click Background services to assign equal amounts of processor resources to all programs.
Notes
• If you click Programs, the foreground program runs more smoothly and responds more quickly. If you want a background task such as a Backup utility to run faster, click Background services.
• The Programs option allocates short, variable time slices (quanta) to running programs, and the Background services option assigns long, fixed quanta.

Free up disk space

By freeing disk space, you can improve the performance of your computer. The Disk Cleanup tool helps you free up space on your hard disk. The utility identifies files that you can safely delete, and then enables you to choose whether you want to delete some or all of the identified files.
Use Disk Cleanup to:

•	Remove temporary Internet files.
•	Remove downloaded program files (such as Microsoft ActiveX controls and Java applets).
•	Empty the Recycle Bin.
•	Remove Windows temporary files.
•	Remove optional Windows components that you don't use.
•	Remove installed programs that you no longer use.

Tip: Typically, temporary Internet files take the most amount of space because the browser caches each page you visit for faster access later.

To use Disk Cleanup

1.	Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup. If several drives are available, you might be prompted to specify which drive you want to clean.
2.	In the Disk Cleanup for dialog box, scroll through the content of the Files to delete list. Choose the files that you want to delete.
3.	Clear the check boxes for files that you don't want to delete, and then click OK.
4.	When prompted to confirm that you want to delete the specified files, click Yes.

After a few minutes, the process completes and the Disk Cleanup dialog box closes, leaving your computer cleaner and performing better.

How to decide what data to back up

There are many ways you can unintentionally lose information on a computer. A child playing the keyboard like a piano, a power surge, lightning, floods. And sometimes equipment just fails. If you regularly make backup copies of your files and keep them in a separate place, you can get some, if not all, of your information back in the event something happens to the originals on your computer. Deciding what to back up is highly personal. Anything you cannot replace easily should be at the top of your list. Before you get started, make a checklist of files to back up. This will help you determine what to back up, and also give you a reference list in the event you need to retrieve a backed-up file. Here are some file suggestions to get you started: • Bank records and other financial information • Digital photographs • Software you purchased and downloaded from the Internet • Music you purchased and downloaded from the Internet • Personal projects • Your e-mail address book • Your Microsoft Outlook calendar • Your Internet Explorer bookmarks If you haven't already decided where you want to store your backup copies—external hard disk drive, CDs, DVDs, or some other storage format—and you want to know more about your options

Making backup copies manually

Depending on the version of Windows Vista you have, there are two approaches you can take to back up files: Automatic Backup, which backs up just your files and data; or Complete PC Backup, which backs up everything on your computer, including the operating system and applications.

To access the Backup and Restore Center:

1.	Click Start, and point to Control Panel.
2.	Click System and Maintenance and then click Back up your computer.

How to choose an external storage format for backup files

External storage refers to any data storage format that isn’t permanently fixed inside your computer, for example, hardware such as Zip or flash drives, CDs, or even a Web service. Types of external storage Whether you use the Windows XP Backup utility or some other backup software, you'll need a way to store your backup copies. If you can, use a storage system that is portable; one of the best ways to protect your backups is to store them in a different location than your computer. The following are some storage devices and locations to consider. Storage Type What It Is Pros Cons External drives A Zip drive is a disk drive that uses removable Zip disks to store hundreds of megabytes of data. • Includes backup software • Range of storage options • Portable • You must invest in the hardware, and in some cases, disks as well CD-RW* *You need a CD-RW drive to burn files onto CDs. A CD-RW is a compact disc onto which you can burn information if you have a CD-RW drive. (RW stands for "read-write.") • Many newer computers come with a built in CD-RW drive • CD-RW discs can hold up to 700MB • Portable • CD-RW discs can be used over again • Discs are relatively inexpensive • You need to buy a CD-RW drive if your computer doesn't come with one • It’s possible to accidentally write over data on your CD-RW disc and lose your backup files • Older CD players cannot read CD-RW discs DVD-RW* *You need a DVD-RW drive to burn files onto DVDs. A DVD-RW is a DVD onto which you can burn information if you have a DVD-RW drive. (RW stands for "read-write.") • Many newer computers come with a built in DVD-RW drive • DVD burners double as CD burners, offering more flexibility • One disc stores gigabytes of information • Portable • DVD-RW discs can be used over again • Discs are relatively inexpensive • You need to buy a DVD-RW drive if your computer doesn't come with one • The drive might not come with backup software • It’s possible to accidentally write over data on your DVD-RW disc and lose your backup files USB flash drive A USB flash drive is like a small hard drive, about 2-3 inches long, that plugs into your computer through a USB port. You can download information onto it for storage. • Portable • Can hold up to 2 gigabytes of data • Files can be saved, modified, or deleted as often as you want • Prices start relatively low as hardware prices go • USB flash drives, because of their size, are easy to misplace Online backup and storage An online storage service lets you save files online. If you have Internet access, you can get your files from the online storage site whenever you need them. • Stores your information out of the house or office • Includes download and backup software • Offers the potential for a larger amount of storage space than some other backup devices or locations • You might be required to pay a monthly fee for backing up and storing your files (prices vary according to each provider and service) • If the company's servers fail, you might not be able to access your files • If the company is hacked, your information could be stolen • If the company goes out of business, you lose your backup resource Tip: For backup on the go, look into the mini USB flash drives with big capacity that can fit on a key chain.

Backup and Restore Windows Center

Windows Backup and Restore Center

The file backup and restore features in Windows Vista make it easier for you to keep your data safe from user error, hardware failure, and other problems. The Windows Backup and Restore Center gives you one place to manage all backup and restore features.

Depending on the version of Windows Vista you have, there are two approaches you can take to backing up files: Automatic Backup, which backs up just your files and data; or Complete PC Backup, which backs up everything on your PC, including the operating system and applications.

Automatic Backup

Automatic File Backup helps to keep your files safe and is available in almost all editions of Windows Vista (it is not included in Starter and has only basic functionality in Home Basic edition). Windows Complete PC Backup is available in the Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions, and performs a complete, image-based backup of the entire computer.

Help protect your files and your work by backing them up.

Scheduled and Network Backup

Two particularly useful Automatic Backup features are the ability to do a scheduled backup and the ability to back up your files to a network location. (These features are available in all editions of Windows Vista except for Home Basic.)

To help make protecting your files as convenient as possible, with Automatic Backup, you can back up your files to an external hard drive, secondary hard drive, writable CD or DVD, or to a network location. Best of all, Windows Vista will automatically make backups of your data on the schedule that you set, so you never have to worry about forgetting to back up your work.

File Backup Scheduling Wizard lets you schedule when backups occur.

Previously backed-up versions of files use only a bare minimum of disk space. If only a small part of a file changes (such as one slide in a presentation), only that portion gets tracked and saved.

Of course, backup is only as useful as the process you use to recover your work, and Windows Vista makes this a cinch. A recovery wizard helps you select the files or folders you want to restore and prompts you for the backup storage medium you used. Then it restores your files.

By the way, if you've accidentally written over a file, say saving an older version of a report you're writing over the top of a newer version, then the Shadow Copy feature can help you recover a prior version of that file.

Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore

Available in Windows Vista Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions, Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore is a comprehensive, image-based backup tool that will help you out of a tight spot if you need to recover your entire system.

While file restore is useful in cases of file loss and data corruption, Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore is most useful for disaster recovery when your PC malfunctions. This feature helps you create complete PC backups, and then in the event of a serious system issue or data loss, Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore can restore your entire PC environment, including the operating system, installed programs, user settings, and data files.

You can restore your PC back to its original state or onto another PC. Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore can be initiated from within Windows Vista or from the Windows Vista installation CD, if the PC is not able to start up normally from the hard disk.

System Restore

System Restore enables you to restore your computer to an earlier state without losing data. This is ideal if your computer is not operating well because of a configuration change, a problem with an application, or the introduction of viruses or other unwanted software. By restoring to an earlier point—a point before your computer began displaying problems—you may be able to easily resolve the problems. (Applications that have been installed since the restore point will be removed.) You don't have to worry about taking periodic system snapshots—System Restore automatically creates easily identifiable restore points. You can also manually create restore points at any time.
