That’s it – you’ve now set up the fundamentals of your Norton suite. After that’s done, those extra features will show up in the main menu, and you can set them up or manage them. Just click where it says ‘Sign In’ towards the bottom of the main menu, and enter the password for your Norton account when prompted. If you’ve subscribed to one of the higher-tier packages, such as Norton 360 Deluxe as in our example here, you’ll be asked to sign into your account before all features (such as parental controls, or dark web monitoring) are enabled. After doing this, you get to see the permissions you’re granting the Norton extension, and need to click ‘Add Extension’ to confirm that you wish to use it. After clicking on ‘Install’, you’ll be taken to the Chrome Web Store (or the source of extensions for whatever browser you’re using) where you can opt to ‘Add to Chrome’ for the appropriate extensions. If you don’t want all of this, and only need Safe Web for example, just click on the blue ‘Install’ option for whatever extensions you wish to grab. You can click ‘Enable All Norton Extensions’ to switch on Safe Web (the core web browsing protection), along with Safe Search, and Norton’s Password Manager (as well as making Norton your home page). Not 100% sure which of Norton's range to go for? We'll help you make the choice with our dedicated guide to Norton's antivirus plans.Īt this point, if you minimize the Norton main menu window and head back to your browser, you’ll notice that a new tab has opened offering Norton extensions for the browser (we used Chrome as you can see above – we’ll assume the same for you for the purposes of this walkthrough, as it’s the most widely used browser). The program will then request permission for Norton to make changes to your system, so click on ‘Yes’. The downloader will initialize and download the rest of the files required for the application to be installed. Head to the Norton product page and find the one you want – as mentioned we’re plumping for Norton 360 Deluxe for the benefit of this guide.Ĭlick on ‘Subscribe Now’ and fill in all the relevant details (choosing a password for your Norton account, entering payment information).Īfter you’ve paid, on the order confirmation screen, click the ‘Get Started’ button to download the Norton installer, and follow the on-screen instructions to click on this EXE file at the bottom of your browser window after it has downloaded. Yes, we know it goes without saying, but the first thing you need to do is buy the product you want from Norton’s range.
