Norton Wifi Privacy Review

In the good old days, scoundrels (known as rascals in the south of India) would come along and steal our wives. Then they come along and stole our wifi. Now, with all this IT knowledge, they break directly into our wi-fi networks, take our security keys, passwords, netbanking credentials, shaadi.com logins and run away. They steal our Facebook accounts and post cat videos, steal our identities and masquerade as us to empty our bank accounts. Even hack into your web cameras and watch you do whatever you do. Things were much simpler then when they took our wives. There is a saving grace though, a way to prevent these rascals from entering, and it's Norton Wifi Privacy, here to save the day. 

Essentially Norton's Wifi suite is a bunch of tools that creates a virtual private network, a VPN in short, which creates your own bubble of privacy and anonymity. Your very own private, encrypted data tunnel that prevent cybercriminals from jacking into your Wi-Fi network and intercepting the data that is been communicated between your mobile devices, laptops, PC and even your smart TV. That means they can get personal details or worse access to your bank accounts, from where they can deplete your funds without even you knowing it. One can access your phone camera or laptop's webcam to spy on your and what you're doing. Then hold you at ransom. These are called Man in the Middle attacks, a form of digital evesdropping. A VPN not only keeps them out, but also keeps your browing private and secure, which means that if you deal in sensitive data you are safe. 

Norton's Wifi Privacy super easy to set-up with a pretty straightforward user interface. The install file is free of any bloatware most security applications are usually bundled with. There is though, an Ad Blocker that gets thrown in for free. Ad Blockers are like free buffets, they're always welcome and they don't give you excess gas after, unlike free buffets. While the Blocker is simple, it does what it sets out to do.  What I really liked about the entire suite, is that Norton has kept in mind the regular consumer and created a well-designed interface which is quite simple & easy to use. Once you set-up, a Location tab allows you to select your country, and once done auto closes your connection & connects you again to the new server. Again, a great quick auto function, leaving you the trouble of manually disconnecting & connecting again. In case you're lost in the super simple interface, you get 24/7 support. 

Norton Wi-Fi Privacy is available as a 1 device (Rs.2999 MSRP), 5 Device (Rs.3999 MSRP) or 10 device (Rs.4999 MSRP) annual subscription and is compatible with Windows, Mac, Android or iOS devices.  At an asking price of just Rs. 2999, it's hard not to ignore a suite like Norton Wifi Privacy, something you may take for granted may actually end up saving your data and your life, your digital one atleast. This is not fear marketing at work here, you read about Facebook hijacks all the time. Plus you do need a VPN in case you are still one of those folks who dabble in the occasional torrenting or go to suspect sites. Norton's Wifi Privacy will keep those nosy malware bunnies at bay. Norton Wifi Privacy must have addition to make your home secure. 

Norton Boosts Protection With The Launch Of Its New Norton Security Solution

Norton has announced the launch of its new Norton Security software in India, boosting its protection and performance levels for consumers. Norton Security provides customers with our best security protection in one subscription service across multiple platforms, including Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. 

According to Symantec’s latest Internet Security Threat Report, Symantec discovered more than 430 million new unique pieces of malware in 2015, up 36 percent from the year before and in August 2016 alone, there were 45 million new malware variants, the highest level seen since August 2015.

Features of Norton Security include-

Proactive Exploit Prevention: Zero-day vulnerabilities are holes in software applications that are unknown by the software vendor. Norton Security’s Proactive Exploit Prevention technology helps protect the holes in common software applications by recognizing a range of malicious behaviors that are trademarks of zero-day attacks.

Emulation Technology: In their attempts to bypass traditional security software, cybercriminals often hide their malicious code in innocuous-looking files. Norton Security’s newly developed emulation technology hunts down antivirus-evading malware before it can compromise a user’s system. It does this by unpacking and running the suspicious files in a virtual machine for examination before the malware in these files can compromise the user’s machine.

Predictive Machine Learning Engine: Criminals know this, and as a result, develop automated ways to deliver variations of malware designed to evade the signatures. The Predictive Machine Learning Engine anticipates new and evolving malware variants. Using a machine learning algorithm, it develops statistical model that helps accurately detect and blocks both new and unknown malware.

Faster Mac Protection: Mac users will see faster scans and lower overall memory utilization on their devices.

Norton Security is available via in.norton.com and is offered as a flexible service to protect all devices. MSRP for Norton Security starts at Rs.1,399 with periodic special offers.
