Norton security experts create next-generation protection designed to defend against the newest threats out there. And those timely product updates are automatically delivered to our customers.
Norton security products are built to perform for real people in real-world situations, whether you have a single connected device or a family full of them. And Norton wins the awards our customers care about, consistently outperforming the competition in independent head-to-head tests.
The accolades are just one measure of our relentless dedication to providing unparalleled online security. We†re thankful for the recognition, but we don†t build our easy-to-install and easy-to-use security products simply to win awards. We build them for you, your family and the people you care about.
We offer a protection promise only Norton can make.
Protecting your data and information is our only concern. It†s why Norton makes this bold promise to you: We†ll help keep your devices virus-free or we†ll refund your money.
The Virus Protection Promise is the assurance that, if a virus ever manages to slip through the Norton multi-layer defense system, our global team of technical experts will provide world-class support to remove it. In the unlikely event that the virus can†t be removed, you†ll get your money back.
You need multiple layers of protection to keep today†s savvy cybercriminals out. Free antivirus software, or the security built into your operating system, offers only limited protection. It†s like locking your front door, but leaving your windows open. You†re not completely protected. And free solutions won†t offer support if malware infiltrates your system.
The combination of our 25-year history of making security products, global footprint, powerful threat insight, cutting-edge technology and expert support enables us to offer the Virus Protection Promise to you.
We are supremely confident in our ability to protect you. And we want you to share in that confidence when you are online, surfing safely with the knowledge that you have one of the best security products in the world protecting your digital life.
