Is my computer protected?

Check your Norton device security product status

To ensure that your Norton device security product is protecting your computer, check for the security status of your Norton product. Open your Norton product to see if the security status shows Secure or Protected.

Also, check the subscription status to make sure that the subscription is up to date, and is not expiring soon. If you see Activate Now next to the subscription status, your product is not activated. Read Activate or renew your Norton subscription.

Make sure that You Are Protected is displayed on the product screen.

The product interface images shown here are for the current version of the Norton products. If you have an older version or if you do not know your product version, go to Norton Update Center.

What if your Norton device security product status is not Secure or Protected

If your Norton product status is not green and does not say Secure or Protected, then you may see an alert which briefly describes the problem and a Fix Now button. In most cases, clicking the Fix Now button automatically fixes the problem for you.

If the problem persists, we recommend that you uninstall and reinstall your Norton product.
