AI-powered scam and cybersecurity protection

It can detect suspicious content in text messages and deepfake videos, helping users recognize deceptive threats. Norton Genie—an AI assistant—provides real-time tips for spotting scams, answering cybersecurity questions, and navigating features. Additionally, eligible users receive up to $10,000 in coverage if they are scammed online, adding financial protection.

In addition, this security app includes Smart Firewall technology that helps protect devices from hackers, malware, and viruses that could make them unusable.

Norton also helps prevent account takeovers by blocking fake websites designed to steal passwords and supporting stronger password practices for improved account security.

Essential security vs. Norton 360 features

Norton AntiVirus Plus includes PC Cloud Backup with 2 GB of storage for protecting important files and documents.
