Norton Antivirus Protection & Internet Security Pricing in 2024

Subscriptions and Costs

The first thing to note is that Norton isn’t just an antivirus brand anymore. It offers a wide range of cybersecurity products, from a virtual private network to password manager, and even services like performance optimization and online premium support.
Because Norton has so much to offer, its pricing can be a bit all over the place. There’s an endless combination of individual products, bundles, and deals, and frankly, it can be overwhelming. So let’s take a look at Norton’s pricing one product at a time.

Antivirus, LifeLock and Norton 360 Bundles

To narrow down your options, let’s start with the three main packages from Norton.
The first group consists of barebones antivirus subscriptions that offer some extra protections like a password manager. Called AntiVirus Plus, packages under this group are the most affordable, so we recommend them if you want to test out Norton’s antivirus software.
Next, we have the feature-rich Norton 360 packages that, as the name implies, offers 360-degree protection against different types of online threats. Norton 360 typically includes a VPN, a password manager, and cloud backup for important files to protect them from ransomware.
Lastly, we have the Norton 360 with LifeLock bundles. These bundles offer the same digital protections as Norton 360, but adding LifeLock makes them capable of protecting your identity as well.
LifeLock will alert you of potential identity theft, as well as suspicious changes to your credit. In addition, you’ll receive identity theft insurance coverage of up to million, plus a separate reimbursement of stolen funds up to million if you become a victim of fraud. You can read more about identity theft protection in our identity theft guide, or you can read our review of LifeLock to gain more insight into what it does.
Now, let’s look at how those three types of Norton products compare.

Besides features, you have to consider how many devices each Norton subscription protects. Some offer protection for only one device, while others can cover unlimited devices. If you’re in a household with multiple family members, it actually makes a lot of sense to pay for the more expensive membership that covers more devices. But if it’s just you, multi-device bundles with protection for one to five devices should be enough.
Also, keep in mind that while it’s completely fine to purchase each product individually — for example, just the antivirus or just the VPN — there are lots more opportunities to save with bundles. So take a close look at your personal digital security and list all the tools you need. You might be able to get all of them from Norton.
For example, the Norton 360 with LifeLock Advantage bundle costs .99 on a monthly basis. That’s two products rolled into one. If you buy the LifeLock Advantage subscription alone, that will cost you .99. That means with a bundle, you’re only paying per month for the Norton 360 subscription, which usually costs over per month.
Bundling can help you save if you want to purchase multiple services and products from Norton, but what if you only need one? In the sections that follow, we highlight Norton’s pricing for individual products.

Norton Secure VPN

Norton Secure VPN is a virtual private network. It hides your IP address and encrypts your online data to protect your privacy. You can learn more about it in our Norton Secure VPN review.
The Norton VPN is available through several subscriptions. You can buy a monthly subscription or pay yearly for some savings. You can also have a subscription for one, five, or 10 devices total.
You’ll notice below that the minimum cost of the VPN for one device is .99 per month or .99 per year. That’s only less than the 360 Deluxe one-year plan, which includes Norton Secure VPN for not just one but five devices. Again, bundling helps you save.

Norton Computer Tune-Up

This device optimizer, which aims to get rid of clutter and make computers run faster, costs .99 per service on one computer. However, there are ways to do this sort of cleanup for free, so we think that your could be better spent elsewhere.

Norton Family

From pornography and violence to child identity theft, there are a number of risks you take when you let your kids use the Internet. That being said, in our research on parental attitudes towards child identity theft, we found that about a third of parents aren’t very concerned or not concerned at all with child identity theft.
In a nutshell, Norton Family lets you block apps and sites you don’t want your kids to see, implement safe search terms, schedule screen time, and get reports about what your kid is doing online sent straight to your inbox. It’s a piece of parental control software that can help parents monitor their children’s internet usage and keep them safe online. It can also help kids develop healthy online habits.

FYI: Unsure how much screen time is safe for your child? OSF Healthcare pediatrician Dr. Ameera Nauman thinks that children ages five to 17 should have no more than two hours of screen time a day. That goes down to one hour for two to five-year-olds and no hours for kids under age two.2

Norton Ultimate Help Desk

Suffice it to say that some people are more tech-savvy than others. Without stereotyping people by their ages, research has shown that millennials are the leading adopters of tech, with Baby Boomers and Gen Xers following behind.3 But no matter what age you are, running into frustrating tech issues is…well, frustrating. Fortunately, Norton offers a virtual help desk that lets you contact IT whenever you want, 24/7, for .99 a month. This applies to three devices, be it a smartphone, tablet, or computer. With this plan, you can call Norton’s virtual help desk unlimited times.

Norton Utilities Premium

Norton Utilities Premium is another optimizer for PCs available for .99 a year. You can use it on up to 10 PCs but again, we don’t think this service is necessary as you can clean up your PC yourself for free.

Norton Small Business

Finally, there’s an option for small businesses with five, 10 or 20 devices. This software works on Windows, Android, macOS and iOS, but Norton’s website isn’t very clear on what it actually does. To find out, we recommend live chatting with a member of their support staff to get all of your questions answered.
