Xfinity just announced that they are offering Norton Security Suite 6 for their customers at no cost. The program can be downloaded using the below link:
Free Norton Security Suite 6
I installed the program yesterday and honestly don't see a difference between this version and version 5 but I guess it is better to be on the latest version. One thing to watch out for when downloading the new version it a pop up that will try to get you to install Constant Guard. Constant Guard is a dashboard that includes Norton as well as a couple free security apps and a couple you need to pay for. I downloaded Constant Guard a couple months ago and the password safe and online account security app irritated me so I uninsulated it. I find that most of these apps slow down the browsing experience and really aren't necessary if you are careful on line.
So just click No Thanks on the pop-up and you will be brought to a page to down load the app. Installation was fairly easy but does require a reboot. Remains to be seen if this version provides anything additional over the old version.
