Antivirus 360 is a Malignant Thief
Take a little time to consider the fact that new threats against your computer are created every day. When you do, you’ll realize that you must protect your computer with a quality antispyware program. If you don’t, then rogue programs like Antivirus 360 will try to coax you into spending your money on a worthless product.
Antivirus 360 is a rogue antivirus program that lingers around websites with adult content. When these adult sites are visited, a warning pops up telling the user that their computer could be infected with viral software. The browser is then redirected to another site where a fake online scan is performed. It finishes after only a few seconds and the user is then urged to download the trial version of Antivirus 360.
If at all possible, Antivirus 360 will download a trial version through a Trojan horse exploit that may already exist on the user’s computer. Once the trial version has been loaded onto the computer, a scan will be performed and again, Antivirus 360 will tell the user that their system is infected with malicious software. It will then beg the user to purchase the full version of Antivirus 360.
If the user does not buy the full version of Antivirus 360, then pop-up messages will continually harass the user until they either remove Antivirus 360 or pay to register it. If the user wastes their money and pays to have Antivirus 360 registered, then they will be wasting their precious money. Antivirus 360 does absolutely nothing to ward off viral programs and most definitely won’t remove them.
Instead of doing what it promises, Antivirus 360 actually downloads adware onto the computer it infects. The computer will become extremely slow and so will its Internet connection. If left to fester in the background, Antivirus 360 will ultimately render the computer useless.

Question…
Found a site were offers free norton 360 2.0 antivirus download, is this ok for me to install on my laptop?
I have now a 3 month license norton 360, which expires in a few days.
I found this site by accident, I was looking for stores to buy norton from.
I know very little about antiviruses, so if I download from that site and instal what they have, will it be just as good as if I would buy it?
Or is it a hoax?

Answer by Kelly L
probably a hoax….take the 40-50 bucks (can’t remember) and just buy it. it’s worth it. i had a virus lock up my computer once and it cost me over 300 to get it cleaned up and running again. SO not worth it.
Answer by Vincent P
I don’t know what the website is, but Norton is not free, so it may be an illegal copy, malware, or simply a hoax. If you want free anti-virus, I would recomment Avast!, which you can get from Download.com and is free for life for home users.
If you are going to buy an anti-virus program, Norton is a terrible choice. Go with BitDefender, Kaspersky or NOD32. They are by far the better choices.

Please don’t buy norton, it hogs your resources and slow downs your computer.
They searching for “Avast!” It is a COMPLETELY FREE full functioning antivirus that gets daily updates. I have it on all my Windows computers at home and i always recommend it.
If it’s free it is either a hoax or spy ware. You get what you pay for so free Norton’s is worth nothing. Buy the program.
maybe its hoax, i advise u to go on avg site, they offer a free edition and 30 days to test paid versions
itsw more safe =]
Be very careful, check it out thoroughly before you download it, it may just come with its own virus. Remember the old maxim, nothing is for nothing. Take care.
No. Please don’t try to install any Commercial antivirus which is nulled and offered for free. Some people have incorporated spywares on the installer files and it can cause you more harm than good. There is actually one free antivirus available in the market. You may use that since it is widely known and tested. The name of the antivirus is AVG. You may google some reviews about this software. And if you are ready to install it.. Go to this address:

You never want to download free versions of anything unless it’s a site that you can trust – namely the publisher’s own website or download.com.
Since you didn’t specify the site, I can’t be more specific.
All the big vendors offer these free trial periods on various sites and at various times. A friend is halfway through a Kaspersky free trial. Post a link to the site and I’ll probably be able to tell you if it’s valid or not. The trial period programs are usually identical to the full product but without the full help desk support. I personally dislike Norton, but if you like it, I’d suggest you buy it from Amazon or a PC store. That way you get a hard copy of receipts, guarantees and serial codes.
HOAX!
These are the things that you need to be careful of. They could contain anything. If it’s a BitTorrent file, DON’T get it. (Thats how my computer got infected)
Most times, “for FREE” is a joke. Try get the all-time best antivirus. ESET Smart Security. (By the way, it’s the best, and is extremly similar to 360) Go the mile and pay for it.
