OneCare was launched in summer 2006 while Falcon entered public beta testing. The same day, McAfee announced Falcon, a security suite with similar functionalities as Norton 360 and OneCare. The final release date was set at the end of 2006. A public beta test was planned for summer 2006. Its feature set was confirmed-it would have the same functionalities as Norton Internet Security-with file backup, performance tools, phishing protection, and real-time heuristics. Genesis was renamed Norton 360 on May 31, 2006. In May 2005, Microsoft announced Windows Live OneCare, a security suite with similar functionalities, slated for release in 2006. Genesis was slated for release in September. Windows Vista compatibility was a major aspect of Genesis. Phishing protection and real-time heuristics were also planned. Genesis would differ from Symantec's other consumer security products by incorporating file backup and performance optimization tools with antivirus capabilities and a firewall. Symantec announced Project Genesis on February 7, 2006.
