connects to Symantec servers to ensure complete
protection. However, if you think that Norton 360 uses

Norton 360 and your adapter.
To connect to the Internet, Norton 360 accesses the
gateway through an adapter. The adapter is present
either on your computer or on a connecting device. The
connecting device can be a 3G phone, an Internet data
card, or a wireless network card. Metered Broadband
Mode lets you set up a policy for each adapter that
Norton 360 uses to connect to the Internet.
You can set up one of the following policies for each of
the adapter that Norton 360 uses to connect to the
Internet:
1 No Limit
Lets Norton 360 use the network bandwidth that is
required to ensure complete protection. Symantec
recommends that you apply this policy.
1 Critical Updates Only
Lets Norton 360 access the Internet only to receive
critical product updates or virus definitions. If you
have a limited Internet connection, you can select
the Critical Updates Only option to ensure
protection from different security threats.
1 No Traffic
Lets you block Norton 360 from connecting to the
Internet. If you choose this policy, Norton 360
cannot receive critical virus definitions and
program updates, which can lead to potential
dangers and virus attacks.
