These days, cyber threats are more varied than a virus infecting your PC. That’s why Norton provides real-time protection against existing and emerging threats that could put your personal information at risk.

Yes. Norton AntiVirus Plus is ideal to protect one PC or Mac. It offers powerful protection for your device and personal information on it. However, Norton 360 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 360 has device security which protects against viruses, ransomware, malware, and other online threats as you bank, shop and post online.

In addition, here are four main steps to help protect against spyware:

• Don’t open emails from unknown senders.
• Don’t download files from untrustworthy sources.
• Don’t click on pop-up advertisements.
• Use reputable antivirus software.

Malware is an abbreviated form of “malicious software.” This is software that is specifically designed to gain access to or damage a computer, usually without the knowledge of the owner. 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 360 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.

Norton 360 has device security which protects against viruses, ransomware, malware, and other online threats as you bank, shop and post online.

In addition, help protect your data and personal information from ransomware by:

• Update your operating system and other software. Software updates frequently include patches for newly discovered security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by ransomware attackers.
• Don’t automatically open email attachments. Email is one of the main methods for delivering ransomware. Avoid opening emails and attachments from unfamiliar or untrusted sources.
• Be wary of any email attachment that advises you to enable macros to view its content. Once enabled, macro malware can infect multiple files. Unless you are absolutely sure the email is genuine, from a trusted source, delete the email.
• Back up important data to an external hard drive. Attackers can gain leverage over their victims by encrypting valuable files and making them inaccessible. If you have backup copies, the hacker no longer holds the upper hand. 
• Use Cloud Backup. This can help with loss of files in case of a ransomware infection, since having copies of your files available in the cloud gives you a back up plan in case of ransomware.

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. Antivirus software like Norton 360◊ can also warn subscribers when they’ve stumbled upon an unreliable website. 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. Never enter sensitive information on a website that isn’t on a secure connection.

A Smart Firewall is the network security in Norton 360 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 360 Smart Firewall helps protect your device and your data from malicious attacks and intrusive eyes by monitoring and blocking suspicious network traffic.
