⭐️ Learn how to use Norton 360 antivirus | Try it yourself today ⭐️

In this Norton tutorial, I’ll cover everything from choosing the right Norton antivirus plan, installing the antivirus, running scans, navigating everyday activities and learning how to use Norton to unlock its FULL potential.

-----------------------------------------------
❓ What is the best Norton antivirus plan?

Personally, I have the Norton Deluxe plan, since I have it set up to monitor a few different devices, and I need the parental controls for, well, a couple of those devices. If you only need to get an antivirus for one device, then choose either the Plus or the Standard plan, depending if you want a VPN with your AV subscription or not.

-----------------------------------------------
💻 How to install Norton Antivirus

The installation is standard, you can get the right version for your device from their website, once you log in. After the initial installation is done, you can set up features, such as Cloud backup, their password manager, and the VPN, if it’s included in your subscription. After that, click done and that’s how to install Norton – security is up and running.

-----------------------------------------------
🔎 How to run an antivirus scan

Norton has a few different scanning options, with “Smart scan” being the default one. I recommend keeping this as the default scan, but for first-time users, the Full scan should be the first thing on the to-do list. You can also customize how often you want the Norton scan to run.

-----------------------------------------------
🧨 Best antivirus features

➡️ Smart firewall – unless you’re an advanced user, you don’t really need to do much. The firewall will monitor your device traffic in the background and alert you if it catches anything suspicious.

➡️ Dark Web Monitoring – keeps an eye on your personal info.

➡️ Safe Web – during my testing, it effectively prevented me from entering potentially malicious sites, that includes phishing and scam sites. You can learn how to use Norton features such as which from the video!

➡️ Performance optimization – you can run a scan to optimize your disk or do a file cleanup.

➡️ Norton VPN - a great tool for enhancing your privacy online.

➡️ Norton password manager – keeps your passwords safe, generates new ones and etc.

-----------------------------------------------
Final thoughts ➡️

Overall, I’d say that Norton is one of the best antivirus 2025 options, and I’d recommend it for beginners and advanced users alike. You can start from the basics and explore more advanced things as you go - the good thing is, if you don’t want to dive deeper - you don’t have to. It’s just a matter of how in charge you like to feel of your own device protection.

I like Norton.
Side Note: My Norton 360 was set to expire March 1, 2024 and the company wanted ~$120 for 1 year/5 user renewal. I brought a new Norton 360 1 year/3 user (I only use 3 licenses) for $19 on Amazon.

One area you could deep dive into for Norton is their backup facilities. I have it turned on but find it very confusing. I have Norton cloud backup (2 GIG) but am not sure if it is also using Norton Backup Drive as well or if they interrelate. It keeps telling me I am running out of cloud storage but I assumed it would let me delete my oldest backups or have parameters to set up so it will do it for me. I have found where to delete Backup Sets OR Sets and Files but am not sure what that does. Where can I see all my backed up sets/files by name and dates. Some sites say you need multiple sets in Norton in order to delete any of them. Totally confusing. So simply: How much space are my current backups taking? How many "SETS" and copies of the same files do I have? How much cloud space do I have left? Finally how to free up cloud space by deleting old versions myself. It seems Norton makes this tough because more cloud space means more money!

I have Norton 360 with Lifelock. BUT... I had to pay extra for the tools, driver updates and will need to pay even more should I want protection from the dark web or sites tracking me. Why? IDK. But this is my question; when I use their VPN, it says I'm using a "public network" vs using my network which is private. Why is Norton's PN public? Also, when using Norton VPN, and I look at the "view all available networks " it shows the VPN as the only connection with Internet access, with my network showing "no internet access". This messes me up at times because I must first be online to turn on Norton VPN, and there are times that my network shows "connected, without internet access." I think it has something to do with the VPN on Norton, and I haven't been able to get an answer from Norton. Would you have any suggestions for me? Thanks.

I’ve been with Norton for decades… I have the 10pc plan and love it. The only issue I have is with VPN. I was having trouble with some Webb pages not loading. Even O’Rielly auto parts (national company). I don’t have time to fool around…so I turned VPN off… no issues since. Any ideas how to fix this ??

[datboidego]

So the Scan option is only available for PC or Laptop?

[litoaranda]

First Thanks for the basic Tutorial, but I need help with setting up the VPN. I purchased Norton with the VPN upgrade Package, so I don't understand how to use the VPN, I imagen I need to have the VPN on both sides, on the home computer and on the remote computer, but how to I establish a VPN connection or tunnel between my two computers? AND second, NORTON has been very annoying with SCARE Tactics Pop-Ups, about extended features I do not need and to Renew with a auto-renewal subscription (which I do not want, I want to renew when I want to renew NOT in automatic !!!) how do I remove these Pop-Ups ????

[Peter_Patriot]

when i click download button under "manage my subscription" it automatically takes me to subscription page. Its not downloading in my pc.
