Norton Security Deluxe is a comprehensive antivirus and cybersecurity suite from NortonLifeLock designed for Windows computers (and also available for macOS, Android, and iOS). It offers a range of features aimed at protecting your devices and online activities, including :

*

Antivirus and Anti-malware Protection:

This is the core function, constantly scanning for and removing viruses, malware, ransomware, and other threats. It uses multiple layers of protection, including real-time scanning, proactive threat detection, and cloud-based threat intelligence.

*

Firewall:

A firewall helps prevent unauthorized access to your computer from the internet. Norton[SQ]s firewall monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic, blocking malicious attempts to connect.

*

Web Protection:

Helps protect you from malicious websites and phishing attempts. It actively scans websites and blocks access to those known to be dangerous.

*

Password Manager:

A built-in password manager helps you create and manage strong, unique passwords for your online accounts, improving your overall security posture.

*

VPN (Virtual Private Network):

Norton Security Deluxe often includes a VPN, allowing you to encrypt your internet connection and browse more privately, especially on public Wi-Fi networks. This protects your data from prying eyes.

*

PC Cloud Backup:

(May vary by version and subscription) This feature often allows you to back up important files to the cloud, protecting them in case of hard drive failure or other data loss events. Note that storage space is usually limited.

*

Identity Protection features:

(May vary by version and subscription) May offer features to monitor for data breaches that may expose your personal information.

In short:

Norton Security Deluxe aims to be an all-in-one solution for protecting your Windows computer and online identity. However, the specific features and their effectiveness might vary slightly depending on the version and subscription plan you have. It[SQ]s important to remember that no security software is perfect, and good online habits (like careful website selection and strong passwords) are still crucial.
