Getting started with your Norton subscription

After you purchase a Norton subscription, you must download and install your device security on each of your devices to get protection.

Downloading is easy; sign in to your account and click Download. For detailed instructions, read Download and Install your Norton device security product.

You can download it on multiple devices depending on your subscription. Your plan also includes free cloud backup to securely store your important files. For details on activating your free cloud storage, read Activate Norton Cloud Backup.

After you install, double-click the Norton product icon on your Desktop and see if the Norton window appears Green. If the security status is green, it indicates that your device has protection.

If the status appears in red or orange, there may be some device security features which are not enabled or functioning properly. In most cases, clicking the Fix Now button can solve these problems.

Also, make sure that you install the latest updates for your operating system and periodically update all other software programs whenever the vendors release the updates.

If you have Norton 360, you should have the Norton Secure VPN^* feature that helps protect your online privacy when information is being sent or received over Wi-Fi, wired, or mobile connections.

You must download and install on each device to get online privacy protection for that device.

If you have purchased Norton Secure VPN separately, download it on your compatible devices. For more information, read Get started with Norton Secure VPN.

^* Norton Secure VPN is available only in certain countries.

Your subscription may include the Norton Cloud Backup^** and Norton Family Parental Control^{^} features. Norton Family Parental Control helps you monitor your kids' Internet usage. For more information, read Getting started with Norton Family. You can use the Norton Cloud Backup feature to back up your important documents and data. For more information, read Activate Norton Cloud Backup.

You can use the Norton Password Manager feature to store all your passwords so that you don't have to remember them. Our browser extensions will autofill them securely when in need. For more information, read Add the Norton browser extensions.

^{^} Norton Family Parental Control features are not supported on Mac.

^** Norton Cloud Backup feature is not supported on Mac. It requires your device to have an Internet/data plan and be turned on.

If you think your device is infected and if you are eligible, you can leverage the Virus Protection Promise^{^^}, where a Norton expert can help diagnose and remove the virus, and if not, give you a refund.

^{^^} Virus Protection Promise: To be eligible, you must have a qualifying subscription with automatic renewal. If a Norton expert is unable to remove the virus from your device, then you may receive a refund based on the actual price paid for the current term of your qualifying subscription. If you have a bundle (a qualifying subscription from Norton purchased with either another offering from Norton, or a third party offering), your refund will be limited to the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of only your qualifying subscription for the current term, not to exceed the total bundled price paid. Any refund will be net of any discounts or refunds received and less any shipping, handling and applicable taxes, except in certain states and countries where shipping, handling and taxes are refundable. The refund does not apply to any damages incurred as a result of viruses. See Norton.com/guarantee for complete details.
