Norton AntiVirus Plus

Software Overview

Norton AntiVirus Plus is software designed to protect Windows and Mac users from malware and Internet attacks. It is an annual subscription that covers 1 PC or Mac, monitors online threats, provides cloud storage to back up files, blocks suspicious traffic with an intelligent firewall, and helps you manage your online passwords.

AntiVirus Plus utilizes data gathered worldwide from online threats and machine learning to protect your computer against malware, such as spyware, viruses, and ransomware. In addition, the application implements an intelligent firewall that monitors your network for any suspicious traffic sent from or received on your computer. But if you are ever concerned about your computer's current safety, you can perform a quick scan to detect any security risks.

The software assists you in generating strong passwords for your online accounts and stores them securely online so you can quickly access them. Also, Norton provides 2GB of cloud storage for backing up files on your computer to its secure cloud space. This automatic cloud storage backup is essential for preserving sensitive documents in a ransomware attack that encrypts your files.

Summary

AntiVirus Plus comes with various tools for monitoring and blocking threats while helping you securely browse the web. However, it is limited to just one device and lacks advanced features, like parental controls and a secure VPN when using public WiFi networks. If you have just one device and need basic protection, Norton AntiVirus Plus is the way to go. However, if you want more protection for more devices, look to Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, or Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus.

Norton AntiVirus Plus has no supported file types.
