Enable Norton in File Provider extension to scan individual files or folders easily on Mac

The Norton Scan option in the File Provider extension is automatically added and enabled when you install your Norton device security app on your Mac. You can view this in your macOS settings under Login Items & Extensions.

Why Enable Norton in File Provider?

• Adds Norton Scan to the right-click menu so you can scan individual files or folders without opening the Norton device security app.

If the Norton Scan option is missing from the contextual menu, enable Norton in the File Provider extension again.
