Depending on your plan, we offer protection from one to an unlimited number of devices PCs, Macs, Android smartphones and tablets, iPads, and iPhones. These days, cyber threats are more varied than a virus infecting your PC. It offers powerful protection for your device and personal information on it.
However, Norton provides multiple layers of protection for devices and online privacy for the whole family. Spyware is unwanted software that infiltrates your device, stealing your Internet usage data and sensitive information. Spyware is classified as a type of malware — malicious software designed to gain access to or damage your computer, often without your knowledge.
Spyware gathers your personal information and relays it to advertisers, data firms, or external users. Norton has device security which protects against viruses, ransomware, malware, and other online threats as you bank, shop and post online. There are various types of malware, including spyware, ransomware, viruses, worms, Trojan horses, adware, or any type of malicious code that infiltrates a computer.
Norton has comprehensive protection against malware and spyware for your devices, that may reduce the risk of identity theft. In addition, be careful about what email attachments you open and be cautious when surfing by staying away from suspicious websites. Ransomware is a malicious software that uses encryption to hold data for ransom, the purpose of which is to extort money from the victims with promises of restoring encrypted data.
Like other computer viruses, it usually finds its way onto a device by exploiting a security hole in vulnerable software or by tricking somebody into installing it. These are fake emails that can look surprisingly legitimate.
If you get tricked into clicking a link or providing information, thieves can get your passwords and account numbers. Buying subscription-based antivirus software that specifically targets phishing is one way to help protect against being scammed. Keeping antivirus software up-to-date can help keep a computer protected against ever-evolving threats. Antivirus software can block offending emails that come from a suspect source or contain phrases common to many phishing attempts.
But the most important way to protect against phishing is to be informed. No reputable company will ever ask their customers for account numbers, credit card numbers, logins or passwords. A Smart Firewall is the network security in Norton that monitors the traffic to and from your network and can either allow or block that traffic based on a defined set of security rules.
Norton Smart Firewall helps protect your device and your data from malicious attacks and intrusive eyes by monitoring and blocking suspicious network traffic. Keeping your devices free from viruses is at the heart of what we do.
Cloud Backup for PC stores and protects important files and documents as a preventative measure to data loss due to hard drive failures, stolen devices and even ransomware. Norton comes with easy-to-use Parental Control that allows you to set screen time limits for kids 11 , block unsuitable sites, monitor search terms and their overall activity history. Identity theft is when someone uses your personal information for their gain and your loss.
Personal information can include your Social Security number, birth date, email address and passwords. Criminals could potentially steal from retirement accounts, rent property and even commit crimes — all in your name. Sometimes it could take months or years before anyone notices and the restoration process can also be lengthy. If identity theft does occur, a U. This is an underground online community where criminals can go to buy and sell your personal information.
A stolen wallet could mean a stolen identity. You will be covered for personal expenses you incur and money stolen as a result of identity theft, up to the limits of your plan. We recommend that you help protect additional family members with their own membership.
Having credit monitoring is a good proactive step but you could miss certain identity threats by just monitoring your credit. With Norton with LifeLock Ultimate Plus, we monitor key changes to your credit file at the three leading credit bureaus and alert you to help detect fraud. Any credit monitoring from Experian and TransUnion will take several days to begin after your successful plan enrollment. Secure VPN helps protect your online privacy by blocking intrusive activities like tracking or controlling your online activities or location by Internet service providers, mobile carriers, advertisers, and websites.
A Virtual Private Network VPN creates a private network within a broader network, adding security by using encryption and tunneling mechanisms. And this number is growing. Additionally, each country has at least two servers, so you won't always connect to the same IP or data center when you turn on the VPN and connect to any specific region.
In addition, with the evolving threats facing consumers as well as the proliferation of free public Wi-Fi, the timing is right to provide consumers with a strong trusted VPN-focused product like Norton Secure VPN. Connecting your device to a password-protected Wi-Fi access point does not protect your data as it is broadcast from your device to the hotspot.
Passwords on Wi-Fi access points only ensure authorized users are connecting to the hotspot. So, your data may be at risk as it traverses the airwaves between your device and the hotspot. Also, if you are using public Wi-Fi where all users have access to the same password, it may not be secure from hackers and snoops.
Free is not always free. Often, free VPN products trade your information to help offset their costs. Norton Secure VPN does not impose data or bandwidth limits or advertisements on you.
An unlimited data and bandwidth VPN service has significant ongoing costs. Those costs are necessary to ensure your privacy. We also offer a day money-back guarantee for annual subscriptions if users are not satisfied with the product. The webcam on your PC is a great way to keep in touch with family, friends or business associates. But it can also be vulnerable to hacking. Norton will check whether your Wi-Fi network is encrypted and password protected.
Norton will check whether your operating software is up to date. This matters because OS updates frequently include security patches. Yet, we tend to figure this out through Norton, rather than Apple. It works on all iOS browsers. It cannot be active simultaneously with other VPN, like Surfshark.
By doing so, you can monitor whether your personal data, like Bank Accounts, Email Addresses, and Credit Cards details, are hacked and traded on the Dark Web. Wi-Fi networks can be hacked, phishing websites can steal personal data, and identities can be traded on the Dark Web.
Norton focuses on these threats. And they would be right. But to be fair, that is a pretty complete security product on iOS. And it certainly is our favorite security tool for iOS. Key takeaway: Norton antivirus software has scored top marks in all anti-malware for Windows 10 tests since October It is the only brand to have done so.
Truly impressive. Historically speaking, the core functionality of antivirus software was anti-malware. Malware is a term used to describe anything nasty that can infect your device.
It includes viruses , worms , adware , spyware , trojans , keyloggers , ransomware , and more. In those days, a good antivirus tool was absolutely essential.
However, since , Windows Defender has become quite capable. These days, it is achieving the same test results as Kaspersky and McAfee , two industry giants. Note that this is not reflected in the graph above, as those results include all tests from October , when Windows Defender was still worse than it is today. Unfortunately, the answer is yes, as malware is no longer the only threat out there.
These days, identity theft and privacy infringement have become commonplace. Luckily, some antivirus software, like Norton, are adding dedicated tools to protect your identity and privacy online. That being said, anti-malware protection is still a core feature of antivirus software. At the very least, a modern antivirus tool should match or beat Windows Defender. As a result, they are the most credible source for objective and impartial anti-malware test results.
Quite remarkable. Creating, storing, and auto-filling passwords is a breeze. Your passwords are automatically synced across all your devices. That is very dangerous. Because when one website gets hacked, all your other accounts become accessible to the hackers too.
Ideally, you would have a unique and secure password for every site. Nor do you want to type them. This is where a password manager comes in. It will solve four problems for you:. When you open the Norton dashboard, the Password Manager shortcut will be in the overview on the right. When you click it, it opens your preferred browser and invites you to install the browser plugin, which you can do with a single click.
Next, you will set up your vault, which is where you store all your passwords. You do this by signing in with your Norton account and then creating the vault. To create the vault, you must give it a master password. This password will be the last one you will ever have to memorize, and it will secure all your other passwords.
For instance, a combination of a symbol, number, and three random words. Now that you have installed the extension and created the vault, your login details will be stored every time you sign in to a website. So that next time when you visit the website, the password manager can automatically fill in the email address and password for you.
Only one step remains: Set unique passwords for your most important accounts, using the password generator inside the vault. Instead, start with your bank, credit card, email, insurance, social media, and anything else you consider essential. That is enough for one day. The rest will come over time.
You will need those passwords on your mobile phone too. Open it, log in to your Norton account and your password vault. All your passwords will be available on your mobile phone, too, as these apps automatically sync.
That all being said, there still are things we prefer at Dashlane: The browser plugin, vault, and mobile apps by Dashlane look sleeker. We see no reason to pay for an additional stand-alone password manager, when Norton includes such an excellent one in its security suite. On top of that, it will enable you to block specific apps and websites, and set screentime limits. But overall, Norton Family is the best Parental Controls app we tested, followed closely by Kaspersky.
Parental controls allow you to analyze what your children are up to online and set protective boundaries. It is also done entirely remotely from the web app. And when you update the settings, your kids automatically get a notification on their phone, telling them:. The journey starts online at my. Here you can access the parental controls and run through the following steps:. Norton Family has a 3. By comparison, the parental controls of Kaspersky score 3. So although Norton is considered better, a 3.
So we got our hands dirty and tested the following:. To determine whether Norton would register our activities, we first needed to spend some time online.
So we did the following:. We could see the websites we had visited, including the exact article we had read on Medium. We could also see that we had downloaded Netflix and DuckDuckGo, how much time we had spent in the YouTube and Netflix apps, and which terms we had searched for on Google. The next time we attempted to visit the apps, both were correctly blocked. However, with medium.
This is a common problem that happened in the other Parental Controls we tested as well. Unfortunately, it seems that only the most mainstream browsers are supported.
So keep an eye out when a smart kid downloads a new browser. Luckily, Norton Family will inform you of this. For the final test, we set the daily screentime limit to 30 minutes. And by the time we reached 30 minutes, Norton Family blocked all apps and politely told us that we had spent the maximum amount of time for the day.
The monitoring is not in real-time, there is no GPS tracking to see the real-world location of your child, and there are loopholes like using an unconventional browser. If we graded it, we would give it 4 out of 5 stars, in line with its score in the Google Play Store. So, it might not be perfect. Key takeaway: Norton Secure VPN is fast, secure, private no logs , works with Netflix, and allows you to download torrents on specific servers.
Its server network is limited to 31 countries but covers all continents. However, it does not work in China. For most users, it will be good enough. A Virtual Private Network VPN encrypts your internet connection and hides your IP address, which is the code that identifies your device on the internet. It does so by creating an encrypted connection to a server, from which you will browse the web. But the technicalities matter less than the advantages:. So there is plenty to love about VPN technology.
So we examined the following:. However, a fast VPN should have a minimal impact. Our process was the following:. In our tests with browserleaks. So Norton does not leak any information. That is great. For example, Norton may collect your IP address, device name and type, OS version, language, and aggregate bandwidth usage.
It does so to deliver and improve its service to you. Norton has servers in 31 countries. That is not a significant amount compared to the 91 countries in which CyberGhost has servers. But it does include every continent and the most popular regions. So it should satisfy the majority of the users. For big countries, like the USA, it would be helpful to indicate the servers on a city-level rather than country-level. After all, New York and Los Angeles are still 2.
Norton allows you to download torrents on servers in specific regions. If you are not connected to one of those, then Norton will prompt you to change regions when it detects an activity that uses torrents. It is therefore easily spotted and blocked by the great firewall of China. It was founded by Peter Norton in and has grown to one of the largest Cyber Safety companies in the world, protecting over million users across all its brands. Some people might still remember the software as Norton by Symantec, as it was called until Due to all these mergers and acquisitions, consumers can look forward to enhanced products and services.
For example, Avast claims expertise in privacy protection, while NortonLifeLock does so in identity protection. In addition, both are strong in device security. Combining these specialties will undoubtedly lead to better products for consumers. Yet, some point to the risks to innovation.
For example, since the acquisition of AVG by Avast in , their protection test scores in AV-Test, an independent test lab, have been very similar. One can imagine why this would be: When cybersecurity companies merge, they will start to share resources, such as software development teams, cybersecurity researchers, and potentially, the anti-malware source code. If these share developers, researchers, and source code, this could reduce innovation and independent research in the cybersecurity industry.
In our opinion, these worries are overblown. The industry is extensive and diverse enough to support the merger of Norton and Avast. And we assume that the consumer will be better off for it. Although there is certainly overlap between those products and those for Windows, there are enough differences to warrant a dedicated section. It offers the four core features that any basic antivirus solution should have:.
Norton Standard is one step up from Antivirus Plus. Like with its smaller brother, it only allows you to protect one device. So you can protect your smartphone or tablet too.
Norton Standard offers the same features as Antivirus Plus but expands the Cloud Backup to 10 GB and adds two online privacy features:. Norton Standard is for you if you want to protect only a single device, whether PC, Mac, or smartphone, and enjoy online privacy protection too. It offers the same features as Standard but expands the Cloud Backup to 50 GB and adds two more features:. Outside of those differences, Deluxe and Premium are the same. Norton Deluxe is for you if you want to install Norton on multiple devices and want complete protection, including dark web monitoring.
It is also for you if you are a parent who wants to know what their children are up to online. It checks whether your personal information phone number, address, and date of birth is traded online by data brokers so you can choose to opt out.
These data brokers are usually legitimate organizations, making this feature different from Dark Web Monitoring. Norton for Gamers offers the same protection as Deluxe, except for the fact that you can only install it on only three devices instead of five. In return for this reduction, you get two game-specific features:. Norton with LifeLock Select offers all the elements of Norton Deluxe and Premium but expands with a significant number of identity theft protection features:.
Norton with LifeLock Select is for users from the US who want advanced protection against identity theft. Norton with LifeLock Ultimate offers everything of LifeLock Select but expands upon the identity theft protection features:. Norton with LifeLock Ultimate is for those who want the best possible protection against identity theft. Norton Mobile Security for Android allows you to protect a single Android smartphone or tablet.
It comes with a range of features:. Norton Mobile Security for Android comes with a great set of features, including anti-malware, a VPN, and ad tracker blocking.
Thus, making it suitable for users that are looking for both security and privacy. It comes with similar features as on Android, with notable exceptions for anti-malware and app security.
Nonetheless, the other features make Norton Mobile Security for iOS a worthwhile security addition to your phone:. Instead, Norton Mobile Security for iOS is for users aiming to improve their privacy and identity protection.
Unblock US Netflix content from abroad. And use your home Wi-Fi without your internet service provider ISP or government being able to see what you do online. Norton is one of the few major antivirus brands that built its own VPN.
