Risk-Free for 60 Days – Try Norton Now Norton 360 Full Review Plus, Norton comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee - plenty of time to test it and see if it’s the right antivirus for you. Most competitors offer some extra features along with their basic anti-malware scanner, but almost all of Norton 360’s security tools would be worth buying on their own. I’m impressed by how many well-built features each package includes.
While I do have some complaints, I still think Norton 360 provides an excellent value. That said, Norton’s VPN is still among the best antivirus-bundled VPNs on the market. And while Norton’s VPN offers excellent security features like a no-logs policy, 256-bit AES encryption, and a good network of servers worldwide (as well as access to sites like Netflix and Amazon Prime), it doesn’t work with Hulu or Disney+, it doesn’t allow torrenting, and it’s not as fast as standalone competitors. Norton’s desktop app is a little clunky, and its mobile protections are split across several separate apps, which is pretty annoying. Norton is very good, but it isn’t perfect.
Norton’s anti-malware engine uses machine learning, advanced heuristics, and a consistently updated malware directory to identify malware - from viruses and trojans to advanced malware like ransomware and cryptojackers. During my testing, Norton’s full scan and real-time protection were both able to detect every single malware file I tried to download, with minimal system slowdown and no false positives. This is the album that Nas fans have been waiting for for years.Norton 360 is my favorite antivirus in 2022 - it’s got a powerful anti-malware engine, a wide range of internet security tools, an intuitive online dashboard, and good customer support, all for a better price than most competitors. The later being responsible for the lead off single, "The Don," which in no way disappoints. Blige on the cut as the sample was previously used on the track "I Love You." Buckwild and the late Heavy D show up as well. Not to mention how meta-referential it was to throw Mary J. Of course the sample was most famously used on Biz Markie's "Make The Music," which was produced by Queensbridge native Marly Marl. Frequent Nas collaborator Salaam Remi is on deck and his flip of Visioneers' "Ike's Mood" for "Reach Out" is one of the standouts of the album. steps up with five tracks that exude some of the best throwback production. The list of producers reads like a Nas fan's wet dream.
Of course there's the track for Kelis, "Bye Baby," which is more about the good times than bad. On "Daughters" he raps about the experience of being a father and watching his baby girl grow up. On Life Is Good he opens up to his audience much more than he has on recent outings. His tumultuous divorce from Kelis (as referenced in the cover pic), millions in unpaid taxes, and his teenage daughter tweeting pictures of condoms in her bedroom, among other things have given Nas plenty of rich material. Why now? Well, it appears that a lot has happened in the Queensbrdige MC's life in the past few years. Gone are the poor beat selections (aside from the Swizz Beatz produced "Summer On Smash"), the weird sex raps, and the songs from the perspective of inanimate objects. as the current executive vice president at Def Jam he seems to have done his job and guided Nas in the right direction. For those of you that have spent half your lifetime trying to figure this equation out, the wait is over. After the letdowns you're always left wondering if he is finally going to come through with a solid collection of tracks. As disappointing as the last few Nas albums have turned out to be, the prospect of the next one is always promising.
