Which Norton 360 plan is best for you?

Norton 360 offers one of the most comprehensive security suites on the market, with dozens of available tools and features. Which Norton 360 plan is best for you depends on the level of protection you need, the number of devices you want coverage for (be they Macs, PCs, smartphones, or tablets), how much cloud storage you want, and whether you want to add LifeLock identity theft protection

Here’s a breakdown:

Get Norton AntiVirus Plus if you need foundational scam and malware protection for a low price. This is our most affordable tier.

Get Norton 360 Standard if you want comprehensive scam and malware protection together with tools like a secure VPN, dark web monitoring, deepfake protection, parental control, and a password manager.

Get Norton 360 Deluxe if you want a similar set of features to Norton 360 Standard, but with added tools like Privacy Monitor, more robust scam protection, coverage for more devices, and more Cloud Backup.

Get Norton 360 for Gamers if you want game performance optimization alongside most of the features included in our Deluxe suite. This suite can be installed on three devices. The privacy monitor is not included in Norton 360 for Gamers.

Get Norton 360 Premium if you want the same benefits as Norton 360 Deluxe, but with coverage for 10 devices and 100 GB of cloud backup. This option is perfect for larger families.

Get Norton 360 with LifeLock if you want to add identity protection to your Cyber Safety bundle. All Norton 360 with LifeLock tiers include support from U.S.-based identity restoration specialists, financial compensation for identity theft victims, credit monitoring (with at least one bureau), and identity monitoring. Some plans include additional features like scam reimbursement.

Hint: 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.

Norton 360 features explained

Norton 360 products include a large number of features, helping make Norton one of the most well-rounded Cyber Safety providers out there. Read on for an overview of the key features and tools included in Norton 360 plans.

antivirus icon

Antivirus & malware protection

Included in: Norton AntiVirus Plus, all Norton 360 Plans, all Norton 360 with LifeLock plans.

Antivirus and malware protection is the device-level security layer that helps protect your PC, mobile device, or Mac from malware threats and viruses (yes, Macs need antivirus too).

It works discreetly in the background to help detect, block, and remove threats before they can compromise your device or data. Norton technology blocks thousands of malware threats every day.

Here are a few types of malware that all Norton 360 and Norton AntiVirus Plus tiers help protect against.

  • Ransomware: Ransomware encrypts files and demands payment to restore access.
  • Spyware: Spyware, including infostealers and keyloggers, is designed to monitor activity and send personal or sensitive information to third parties.
  • Malicious apps: Malicious apps and potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) are programs that may harm your device, invade your privacy, or perform actions you didn’t intend.
  • Malvertising: Malvertising refers to malware hidden inside seemingly legitimate online ads.
  • Adware: Adware installs on your device to display unwanted or intrusive advertisements.
  • Trojans: Trojans appear to be legitimate software, but they’re malware that often grant hidden backdoor access to hackers.
  • Fileless malware: Fileless malware operates in memory rather than installing traditional files, making it harder to detect using standard file-based methods.
  • Pharming: Through pharming attacks, hackers redirect users from legitimate websites to malicious ones.
  • Browser hijackers: Browser hijacking is a malware technique that changes browser settings or redirects your web traffic without permission.
  • Rootkits: Rootkits are stealthy threats that grant hackers privileged access to your computer.
  • Worms: Computer worms are self-replicating malware that spread without attaching to a host file.

Independent testing labs continue to confirm the effectiveness of Norton 360’s anti-malware capabilities. Organizations like AV-TEST, AV-Comparatives, and SE Labs regularly evaluate real-world threat protection, including zero-day exploits and ransomware attacks. Their results consistently place Norton among the top performers.

We’re so confident in how well our antivirus works that we give our customers the Virus Protection Promise. If our Norton experts are unable to remove a virus from your device, you’re entitled to a refund — even if no other refund right applies (terms and conditions apply).

If you suspect your device is infected with malware, try our malware removal tool for free.

ai-powered icon

AI-powered scam protection

Included in: Norton AntiVirus Plus, all Norton 360 Plans, all Norton 360 with LifeLock plans. Not all scam protection features are available on all plans.

Today’s cyber threats focus less on exploiting devices and more on manipulating people, using tactics like phishing messages, online scams, fake websites, and social engineering to prompt risky actions. Norton 360 helps address this shift with AI-powered protection that helps detect scam patterns across emails, texts, websites, and even videos.

In 2024 alone, Norton stopped more than 1.8 billion attacks, including an average of 191 million phishing and scam attempts. Norton 360’s multi-pronged scam protection includes Safe Web, Safe SMS, an AI assistant, deepfake protection, and other features.

Norton AntiVirus Plus, Norton 360 Standard, and Norton 360 Deluxe include foundational Scam Protection, which includes Safe Web, Safe SMS, a Scam Dashboard, Genie AI Assistant, a Private Browser, and Deepfake Protection. Norton 360 with LifeLock plans come with Scam Protection Pro, which adds Safe Email and Safe Call.

vpn icon

VPN

The Secure VPN in the Norton 360 desktop app.

Included in: All Norton 360 plans, all Norton 360 with LifeLock plans. Also available as a standalone product.

A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts the data you send and receive online, enhancing your privacy by helping prevent others from intercepting or tampering with your internet traffic. This is especially important for threats like man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, where attackers secretly monitor or alter communications between you and the websites you visit.

By encrypting your connection, a VPN makes it much harder for attackers to spy on your activity, whether you’re on public Wi-Fi or any other shared network. Other benefits of a VPN include better access to streaming content when you travel.

 

Every Norton 360 plan includes a secure VPN, with the number of supported devices depending on the plan you choose (VPN traffic is uncapped regardless). Norton VPN is also available as a standalone product.

Our VPN now offers faster, more secure browsing with upgraded high-speed servers and bank-grade encryption. Its strict no-log policy has been independently audited to verify that it doesn’t store users’ browsing activity.

cloud backup icon

Cloud Backup

Included In: Norton AntiVirus Plus, all Norton 360 Plans, all Norton 360 with LifeLock plans. Cloud storage space and device coverage vary by plan.

Norton’s Cloud Backup automatically stores secure copies of your important files, photos, and videos, helping protect them if your device is lost, damaged, or affected by ransomware.

Different Norton 360 plans offer varying amounts of cloud backup storage. Choose a plan based on the amount of data you want to back up and the number of devices you need coverage for, keeping in mind your storage needs may grow over time.

smart firewall icon

Smart Firewall

Included in: Norton AntiVirus Plus, all Norton 360 Plans, all Norton 360 with LifeLock plans.

A firewall helps protect your computer from unwanted intrusions by acting as a gatekeeper between your device and the internet. This added layer of protection helps keep personal information safer and reduces the likelihood of cybercriminals and malware from infiltrating your system.

Norton’s Smart Firewall provides added defenses. It helps block suspicious apps, port scans, fake websites, and even advanced Wi‑Fi attacks. Working together with our built-in Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), it can also help inspect traffic for known attack patterns, check the reputation of sites and servers, and stop malicious downloads before they land on your device. This gives you stronger, layered protection at the network level.

safescam icon

SafeCam

SafeCam settings in the Norton 360 desktop app.

Included in: Norton AntiVirus Plus, all Norton 360 Plans, all Norton 360 with LifeLock plans.

SafeCam monitors which apps and services try to use your Windows PC webcam and alerts you in real time, so you can quickly allow trusted programs and block anything unexpected. This helps prevent webcam hacking

By helping make webcam access more transparent, SafeCam adds a layer of defense around one of the most sensitive devices on your PC: your camera. Whether you’re on a video call, streaming, or just working on your computer, Safe Cam helps warn you about digital snoops, spies, and creeps.

SafeCam is not available on Mac, iOS, or Android devices.

 

password manager icon

Password Manager

Norton Password Manager dashboard.

Included in: Norton AntiVirus Plus, all Norton 360 Plans, all Norton 360 with LifeLock plans. Also available as a standalone extension.

Strong, unique passwords help protect your online accounts. But remembering them all isn’t realistic. Norton Password Manager, included in all Norton 360 plans, or as a free extension, securely stores your usernames and passwords in a secret vault that uses bank-grade encryption, so you don’t have to. 

Weak or reused passwords are a common target for cybercriminals. Our password manager helps you create, store, and use strong passwords. Try our free password generator to test it out.

dark web monitoring icon

Dark Web Monitoring

Included in: All Norton 360 plans, all Norton 360 with LifeLock plans.

Dark Web Monitoring scans dark web forums where stolen personal information is bought and sold and notifies you if your information is found, so you can take action.

Norton 360 monitors for a range of personal data, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, insurance IDs, physical addresses, email addresses, bank and credit card numbers, and gamer tags.

If your personal information is exposed on the dark net following a data breach, you may be vulnerable to account takeovers and identity theft. You can test run the dark web monitor by typing in your email below.

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.

privacy monitor icon

Privacy Monitor

Included in: Norton 360 Deluxe and Premium (U.S. and Canada only), all Norton 360 with LifeLock plans.

Norton Privacy Monitor helps you see where your personal information is exposed on people-search sites and other data brokers, which are companies that collect, package, and sell consumer details. Even if data brokers operate legally, their practices may put you at increased risk of spam, scams, and identity theft.

The Privacy Monitor regularly scans such sites for your name, address, and other basic identifiers, then shows you which companies have profiles on you, so you can quickly spot unwanted listings.

You’ll also get simple, guided steps to request removal or suppression of your data from supported data brokers. Instead of hunting down each site yourself, you can manage many of the biggest exposure points from one place, helping you shrink your digital footprint over time and regain more control over who can see and share your personal information.

parental control

Parental Control

Included in: Norton 360 Deluxe, all Norton 360 with LifeLock plans, Norton Family.

Norton Parental Control, compatible with Windows, Android, and iOS, gives you a central place to see what your kids are doing online, helping you set clear, age‑appropriate boundaries around their time, apps, and content. From a simple dashboard, you can review the sites they visit, what they search for, which videos they watch, and which apps they install — then adjust rules as they grow. Parental Control is also a key feature of Norton Family.

pc game optimizer

PC Game Optimizer

Included In: Norton 360 for Gamers.

The Game Optimizer feature detects supported PC games and automatically prioritizes your CPU resources for the title you’re playing, pushing power‑hungry background tasks to the side for smoother, more responsive gameplay.

That means fewer slowdowns and frame drops from other apps, so you can get more performance out of your rig without manually tweaking settings every time you launch a game. This is an exclusive feature of Norton 360 for Gamers.

Live member support

Included in: Norton AntiVirus Plus, all Norton 360 Plans, all Norton 360 with LifeLock plans. 

Norton 360 and Norton 360 with LifeLock subscribers get access to live member support. Whether you’re setting up protection on a new device, reviewing an alert, or adjusting your settings, support is available with clear, step-by-step help.

 

Identity protection

Included in: Norton 360 with LifeLock plans.

Norton 360 with LifeLock plans help safeguard your personal information and finances with built‑in identity protection features. It combines advanced monitoring with notifications that keep you informed if we spot potential identity threats, along with reimbursement coverage designed to help you recover from qualifying identity‑related losses and expenses.

Subscribers to specific Norton 360 with LifeLock plans also get support for scam‑related issues, including reimbursement when fraud or certain scams lead to covered financial losses. 

Norton 360 with LifeLock members also get access to identity restoration experts. If identity theft is suspected, U.S.-based specialists are available to help investigate issues, work with financial institutions, and guide you through recovery.

FAQs on Norton 360 plans

Why are Norton 360 plans called 360?

The “360” refers to a 360‑degree, all‑around protection for your digital life — easily accessible in one convenient plan.

Can I switch to a lower Norton 360 plan if I find that my current plan is too expensive for my needs?

Yes, switching to a lower Norton 360 plan is generally possible, but the exact options depend on how and where you bought your subscription (direct from Norton vs. retailer/app store) and your region.

What happens to my cloud backup data if I downgrade or cancel my Norton 360 subscription?

When you downgrade or cancel a Norton 360 plan that includes Cloud Backup, your existing backup data is typically kept for a limited grace period, even after your entitlement/quota is removed, then permanently deleted later by the backend system. 

In practice, that means you may temporarily still have data stored, but no ongoing entitlement to use the feature, and you shouldn’t rely on it long term. If you’re cancelling or moving to a plan without Cloud Backup, it’s safest to download or copy anything important before the change.

Can I share my Norton 360 subscription with family members, and how does licensing work for multiple users?

Yes, you can generally share a Norton 360 subscription with family members as long as you stay within the plan’s device limit. For example, Norton 360 Deluxe covers up to 5 devices, regardless of who uses each device.

Can I cancel my subscription at any time and receive a refund, and what is the refund policy?

You can cancel your Norton 360 subscription at any time, but getting a refund is only possible if you meet Norton’s refund conditions, which usually means cancelling within a specific money‑back or guarantee window, and only for the amount you paid for the current term (net of discounts, shipping, and most taxes, and excluding any damages). 

For some plans, there’s also a separate Virus Protection Promise refund if Norton can’t remove a virus, again limited to what you paid for the current subscription term and subject to detailed exclusions. 

The exact rules, time frames, and eligibility vary by country, offer, and whether you bought direct from Norton or a partner, so the definitive answer is always in the official Norton Refund Policy at norton.com/return-policy and the guarantee terms at norton.com/guarantee referenced in the product legal copy.

What’s the difference between Norton 360 Deluxe, Norton 360 Premium, and Norton 360 Platinum?

Norton 360 Deluxe includes a wide range of digital security and privacy features that help protect you and your data online. Norton 360 Premium and Norton 360 Platinum offer the same feature set as Norton 360 Deluxe, but with more devices for larger families and more cloud storage. 

 

Norton 360 Premium offers protection for 10 PCs, Macs, smartphones, and tablets, while Norton 360 Platinum covers 20 devices. Norton 360 Platinum is usually only available through our retail partners.
