Norton Setup Review

Norton setup is a security tool that will keep your devices, data and your identity safe from cybercriminals. Discover the variety of Norton products available, from antivirus to internet security suites and evaluate your specific security needs to determine the best option for you. Once you’ve purchased a subscription, you need to enter your Data Room activation code or product key to download and install the software.

The Norton UI is slick, modern and easy to navigate. The main view lets you look at the results of a scanning and any active threats, and configure settings for the program and the integrated features. You can modify the scanning of your antivirus and update the program and its extension, manage the VPN, access dark web reports and privacy monitoring reports, and manage cloud backup. The program includes password managers that let you create and save secure login credentials for online accounts.

Norton’s security tools and optimization tools do have a significant effect on performance. UL’s procyon test simulator experienced a nearly 10% decrease in performance when running a full scan and about 6 percent when idle. A simple cleanup took more than three minutes. This is a long time compared to Windows built-in tools.

Other features worth investigating include the dark web, privacy monitoring, which informs you when your personal information is uncovered on the internet and parental controls which allow you to limit screen time for children and promote a balanced approach to online and offline activities. Additionally, Norton offers cloud backups which save your files to the cloud and can be restored if your computer is hit by a computer crash or is attacked by ransomware.
