Turn Browser Protection on

Malicious websites detect and exploit browser vulnerabilities to download malware. When you turn on Browser Protection, Norton blocks malware before it can attack. It helps protect your sensitive information and prevents attackers from accessing your computer.

By default, Browser Protection is turned on. Keep Browser Protection turned on to ensure protection against malicious websites.

The Browser Protection feature is available for Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge browsers.
