Norton 360 plan feature guide

What’s the difference between Norton 360 plans

Norton 360 Standard vs Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 for Gamers, Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, and Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus.

Millions of people rely on Norton 360 plans to provide comprehensive protection for their connected devices, online privacy, and identity.

While no one can prevent all identity theft or prevent all cybercrime, Norton 360 plans are designed to offer multiple layers of protection against existing and emerging cyberthreats. Our variety of plans ensure customers can get the right internet security, privacy, and identity theft protection for their needs.

Read on to understand the differences and features included in Norton 360 Standard, Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 for Gamers, Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, and Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus plans.

Cyber threat protection and other features for your devices


Before comparing plans, first ask yourself how many PCs, Macs, smartphones, or tablets you will need protection and coverage for. Norton 360 plans come with a limited number of device licenses to protect your various PCs, Macs, Android and iOS smartphones, and tablets.

How many devices can be used with each Norton 360 plan?

The below Norton 360 plans let you mix and match protection and features for your PCs, Macs, Androids or iOS smartphones and tablets starting at:

Please note, device count may vary as there are different versions of the same product.

Connect your devices

If your needs change or you purchase a new device, you can easily transfer a Norton 360 license from one device to another or purchase a new license for a new device at an additional cost.

Real-time antivirus protection against more than just viruses and malware


Included In: All Norton 360 Plans: Norton 360 Standard, Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 for Gamers, Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, and Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus
Also included in: Norton Antivirus Plus

Today’s online threats go well beyond just computer viruses. Our industry-leading antivirus and malware protection included entirely in all our Norton 360 plans help defend against myriad online threats, including:

Viruses + Malware
Norton 360 helps block harmful software that replicates itself and spreads itself to other devices, as well as defends against various types of malicious software, including Trojans, worms, adware, and more.
Worms
Norton 360 helps block malware that replicates itself without using a host file (unlike viruses, who use a file).
Ransomware
Norton 360 helps protect against malware that encrypts a computer’s contents and then demands a ransom to restore them.
Spyware
Norton 360 helps detect software that tracks and sends personal information or sensitive information to third parties.
Adware
Norton 360 helps block malware that’s designed to display unwanted advertisements.
Malvertising
Norton 360 protection helps detect when malware is hidden behind online ads.
Trojan Horse/Trojans
Norton 360 protection helps block Trojans that appear to be something they are not, often containing a backdoor component for future access.
Phishing
Norton 360 protection has tools to help detect phishing attempts, which are seemingly safe links that take users to malicious sites that gather personal data and login credentials, and can be found within websites, emails, ads, and security flaws in games.
Pharming
Like phishing attacks, Norton 360 protection helps detect pharming attacks that redirect users from a legitimate site to a malicious one.
Browser Hijacking
Norton protection helps protect your browser against malware that changes your browser's settings or redirects your web traffic.
Rootkits
Norton protection helps protect against rootkits that can enable an unauthorized user to gain control of a computer system without being detected.
Unwanted Browser Extensions
Norton 360 includes Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) to help block malicious traffic caused by browser extensions.
Social Networking Scams
Norton 360 helps block like-jacking on Facebook, a type of clickjacking where your “like” clicks on something malicious hidden in the background, which could then be promoted to your friends.
What other types of threats do Norton 360 plans help protect against?

Norton 360 plans also help protect against banking trojans, coin-miners and crypto jacking, downloaders, exploits, fireless threats, form jacking attacks, keyloggers, man-in-the-middle browser attacks, potentially unwanted applications (PUAs), script-based attacks (JavaScript, VBA, VBS, PowerShell), and tech support scams.

In fact, Norton’s antivirus technology included in all Norton 360 plans, and Norton AntiVirus Plus, has been awarded for Windows Home User Best Performance and Best Protection awards, as well as the Best MacOS Security award.

Our antivirus software included across our Norton 360 plans gives you multi-layered virus and malware protection, as well as 24/7 member support. Learn more about our antivirus protection from the most awarded Consumer Security Brand Ever by PC Mag.

Norton 360 plans also come with a Virus Protection Promise. If our Norton Experts are unable to remove a virus from your device, you will be entitled to a refund even if no other refund right applies. There are terms that apply to our Virus Protection Promise, and you can read more about them here.

Firewall protection


Included In: All Norton 360 Plans: Norton 360 Standard, Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 for Gamers, Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, and Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus

What is a firewall?

A firewall helps defend against unwanted intrusions to your computer and acts like a gatekeeper. You want this extra level of protection to keep your personal information safe and keep cybercriminals and malware out.

Norton’s Smart Firewall protection is included across our Norton 360 plans, which provides more defenses than built-in Windows firewall. Macs are also protected with Norton’s firewall, which acts like a traffic cop and monitors both incoming and outgoing internet traffic to prevent cyber threats from reaching your computer. Working together with an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), this technology:

Blocks unauthorized users from accessing your computers through the internet.
Creates a shield that either allows or blocks attempts to access the information on your computer.
Warns you of connection attempts from other computers.
Warns you of connection attempts by the applications on your computer that connect to other computers.
Blocks your data (passwords, keystrokes, files, tax returns, etc.) from being taken by an outside source.

Automatic cloud storage backup


Included In: All Norton 360 Plans: Norton 360 Standard, Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, and Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus

If you have important files, photos, or videos on your computer, Norton’s Cloud Backup safely and automatically stores copies of your computer files so you don’t lose them if your computer gets lost, damaged, or hit with ransomware.

The only difference across our Norton 360 plans is how much storage you receive, starting at:

Please note, storage may vary as there are different versions of the same product.

How do you know how much cloud storage you need?

This depends on you and the information that you need to back up on your computer. Go through your important files and see how much data they take up. Then, you will have an idea of what you will need in terms of storage space. Remember that your need is probably going to grow over time, so it is best to have more storage than you need to start.

Learn more about Norton Cloud Backup included in Norton 360 plans.

Password manager to generate and store complex passwords


Included In: All Norton 360 Plans: Norton 360 Standard, Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 for Gamers, Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, and Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus

You need a unique, complex password to help keep each of your online accounts secure, but who can remember all those passwords?

A password manager can enable you to store your online account usernames and passwords in a single, secure place. This helps you create unique and complex passwords without having to remember all of them.

Weak and reused passwords are often the only thing that stands between cybercriminals and your personal and financial information. Learn how Password Manager can help keep you cybersafe.

Secure VPN for online privacy


Included In: All Norton 360 Plans: Norton 360 Standard, Norton 360 for Gamers, Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, and Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus

When you’re connected to the internet, your online activity data gets sent and received over the network you’re using. If you use public Wi-Fi, your connection to the internet may not be as private as you think. A virtual private network (VPN) helps give you privacy by encrypting the information you send and receive when using a public or shared Wi-Fi across your devices.

On public Wi-Fi or shared Wi-Fi networks, imagine everything you do is written on a postcard, where anyone who handles that postcard can read what it says. Everyone using the free Wi-Fi hotspot could possibly encounter your postcard and read it. Learn more about Norton Secure VPN, included in all Norton 360 plans.

Like the number of devices included in different Norton 360 plans, there are limits to how many PCs, Macs, Android or iOS smartphones, or tablets can connect to Secure VPN based on your Norton 360 plan:

Please note, device count may vary as there are different versions of the same product.

Dark Web Monitoring is a Norton 360 service that regularly searches places on the dark web where information is traded and sold, looking for your information. If your information is found, you get a notification so you can act.

See if we find your information on the dark web.

By simply entering your email, we search for potential threats to your identity.

We do not search all personal information at all criminal websites and may not find all breached data. We use the information you provide in accordance with our Global Privacy Statement.

What is the dark web?

The dark web is a guarded subspace of the deep web, hosting encrypted websites for its users. People like to use this encrypted space to help protect their identity and online privacy, but some hackers like to use these features to carry out illegal activities.

Data breaches can occur more often than what is reported in the news and not just to big-name companies. Dark Web Monitoring monitors the dark web for your information and notifies you if it’s found, so you can act. Learn more about Norton 360’s Dark Web Monitoring here.


When you sign up for a Norton 360 Standard or Norton 360 Deluxe plan, monitoring begins for your email address. After you sign up, you can add more information for Dark Web Monitoring, including:

  • Driver’s license number
  • Mother’s maiden name
  • Up to five insurance ID numbers
  • 5 addresses
  • 5 email addresses
  • 5 phone numbers
  • 10 bank or investment account numbers
  • 10 credit card numbers 
  • 10 gamer tags and usernames


If you sign up for a Norton 360 with LifeLock plan, including Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, or Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus, you can add even more information to Dark Web Monitoring.

Identity theft protection and access to identity restoration specialists


Included In: Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus
Not included in: Norton 360 Standard, Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 for Gamers

Identity theft is a two-step process. First, someone steals your personal information. Second, the thief uses that information to impersonate you and commit fraud. Unfortunately, stealing your personal information isn't the worst of the crime; it's the second part of this process that does the most harm: using your information to commit credit card fraud, mortgage, and utilities scams; and potentially leaving you with emptied bank accounts.

Would you know where to start if your identity was stolen?

Norton 360 with LifeLock memberships offer access to 60 U.S.-based Identity Restoration Specialists to help you each step of the way should you discover you're a victim of identity theft. Our knowledgeable specialists can help you evaluate and address your identity fraud claim with their expertise to help resolve the fraudulent activity.

We monitor the dark web looking for personal information, such as email addresses, driver's license number, phone numbers, bank account numbers, and more. If exposed, this could be used to commit identity theft or other crimes. We notify you through our easy-to-use app or website and advise you on steps you can take to help protect yourself.

Included In: Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus

Credit monitoring + fraud alerts for new credit card applications, auto loans, and more


Included In: Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus
Not included in: Norton 360 Standard, Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 for Gamers

There are three major national credit bureaus: Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. Each of these credit bureaus maintains separate credit reports that contain your full name, current and previous addresses, and Social Security number. They also contain important information like your open credit card accounts, loans, late and missed payments, bankruptcy filings, foreclosures, and collections. When you apply for a loan or credit card, lenders and financial institutions check your credit history from these reports.

Because reporting methods differ by each credit bureau, it is common to have different credit scores across all three bureaus even though they collect the same type of information.

Monitoring changes to your credit files are a critically important dimension to monitor to help protect against identity theft. Credit monitoring services3 can watch your credit reports for any new activity and then alert you to it. This allows you to find fraudulent activity more quickly.

Depending which Norton 360 with LifeLock plan you purchase, you’ll receive credit monitoring for either one or three national credit bureaus:

ID verification monitoring to help protect your identity


Included In: Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus
Not included in: Norton 360 Standard, Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 for Gamer

When you open a new credit card or loan, your identity may be verified through answering security questions. However, if a cybercriminal knows the answers to those questions, are they really verifying your identity? ID Verification Monitoring, available in all Norton 360 with LifeLock plans, monitors and alerts you if we detect a company is trying to verify your identity. We do not monitor all transactions at all businesses, but this gives you more protection against identity theft.

Large-scale data breach notifications


Included In: Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus
Not included in: Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 Standard, Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 for Gamer

It may seem like stories of massive data breaches pop up in the news more frequently these days.

What is a data breach?

A data breach is a security incident in which information is accessed without authorization. Data breaches can hurt businesses and consumers in a variety of ways. They are a costly expense that can damage lives and reputations and take time to repair.

As technology progresses, more of our information has been moving into the digital world. Many organizations and companies store your personal information in their own databases. This can mean your information is virtually everywhere, from doctors, insurance companies, employers, and even your frequent retailers.

Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage and Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus notifies you of large-scale data breaches so you can help take action to protect your personal information, change your passwords, and potentially freeze your credit.

Access to lock and unlock your TransUnion credit file


Included In: Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus
Not included in: Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 Standard, Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 for Gamer

Have you ever opened a credit card account or new loan and been surprised how easy it was for your credit to be checked and approved?

Criminals can steal your identity to open new credit cards, bank accounts, payday loans, or home utilities in your name. Identity Lock lets you turn on the TransUnion Credit File Lock and Payday Loan Lock with a single click. This helps block unauthorized account openings. When the time comes for you to open a new account, simply unlock.

What’s the difference between a credit lock and a credit freeze?
Credit Lock

A credit lock makes it easy to lock and unlock your credit file to protect against fraudulent activity. You can unlock it when you apply for a loan or open a new account and lock it again when you’re done.

Credit Freeze

A credit freeze requires you to contact the credit bureau directly to freeze your credit file. The credit bureau would provide a Personal Identification Number (PIN) that you would use to unfreeze your credit file when needed.

Centralized bank and credit card alert transactions


Included In: Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus
Not included in: Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 Standard, Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 for Gamer

Banks and credit card companies sometimes send alerts to verify your transactions. LifeLock Transaction Monitoring centralizes these alerts in one place and notifies you of cash withdrawals, balance transfers, and large purchases.

If a transaction was not completed by you, you can dispute a transaction by contacting your financial institution and take steps to remove the transaction from your financial responsibility.


LifeLock’s extensive transaction monitoring network currently supports thousands of institutions but does not cover all transactions of financial institutions. If your financial institution is not currently supported, you will not receive alerts for those accounts. However, in the event a transaction is not picked up in our network or an institution is not currently supported, you still have the benefit of our skilled Alerts and Restoration teams as well as our Million Dollar Protection™ Package.

Fictitious identity monitoring


Included In: Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus
Not included in: Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 Standard, Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 for Gamer

Did you know someone could use your Social Security number with someone else’s name and address to commit identity theft?

What is synthetic identity theft?

Synthetic identity theft or synthetic identity fraud occurs when a criminal creates an identity instead of stealing an existing one. This scam involves mixing real and fake Social Security numbers with other pieces of information, such as names, addresses, and birthdates.

Banks spend a lot of time and money trying to track down synthetic identity thieves each year, but it gets tricky because they are chasing people that do not exist. This also means it can go undetected for months.

While Fictitious Identity Monitoring in Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage and Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus helps uncover identity theft, it’s also important to monitor your credit reports, review your annual Social Security statement, and be on the lookout for mail sent to your address with someone else's name. It could mean your home address is mingled with information the identity thief has cobbled together.

Social media monitoring across most popular social media sites


Included In: Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus
Not included in: Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 Standard, Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 for Gamer

Sharing too much of your personal information online can put you at risk, but would you know if a cybercriminal took over your social media account?

Social Media Monitoring monitors Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram for suspicious activity linked to your accounts and notifies you if we find any changes to settings, inappropriate content in your feed, and more.

You get the following benefits from Social Media Monitoring:

Monitoring court records helps protect you from being falsely linked to arrests and convictions you know nothing about.

When criminals are arrested, they are prompted to identify themselves. Some of these criminals use fraudulent identities.

With Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus, you will receive notifications if court records activity matches your personal information including your name and date of birth. There are a few reasons your personal information may appear in court records:

You were charged with an offense.
The court records are inaccurate.
You have been a victim of identity theft, and someone is using your personal information as an alias to avoid arrest or a criminal record.

In addition, you’ll also receive a notification if your name and personal information appear in a sex offender registry.

401(K) and investment activity alerts


Included In: Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus
Not included in: Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage, Norton 360 with LifeLock Select, Norton 360 Standard, Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 for Gamer

Investments and retirement accounts, including your 401(k) accounts, are often the lifeline for financial growth. Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus alerts you of withdrawals and balance transfers in your investment and retirement accounts.

LifeLock’s extensive transaction monitoring network currently supports thousands of institutions but does not cover all transactions of financial institutions. If your financial intuition is not currently supported, you will not receive alerts for those accounts. However, in the event a transaction is not picked up in our network or an institution is not currently supported, you still have the benefit of our skilled Alerts and Restoration teams as well as our Million Dollar Protection™ Package.
