Upgrade to the latest Norton version to better protect your Mac
Upgrading lets you download and install an entirely new version of Norton device security and assures that you have the most current security features on your Mac. You need to be online to upgrade.
Upgrading to the latest Norton version is different than updating threat definitions through LiveUpdate. You can only upgrade if a new version of Norton device security is available. However, you can run LiveUpdate anytime to get the latest threat definitions and minor application enhancements.
To receive an upgrade alert or notification, the Automatic Upgrades option needs to be enabled. By default, the Automatic Upgrades option is enabled.
