What security does Norton Security have?
Firewall against viruses
Norton Antivirus provides a layer of security that monitors network traffic and blocks unwanted access. This firewall easily keeps out viruses, malware, spyware, and ransomware, for example. This prevents you from downloading harmful files or programs that hold your computer hostage.
Online security
Because we spend a lot of time on the internet these days, you want good online security. Norton Security blocks harmful websites and suspicious downloads, so you prevent viruses on your PC. When you visit a website without a security certificate, you'll receive a warning that the site isn't trustworthy. This prevents a website from placing something on your PC or making a suspicious adjustment to the script so your privacy is no longer protected.
Secure transactions
In addition to working online, we now also pay a lot via the internet. We order products online or transfer money to another account, for example. Norton Security scans websites and then issues a warning about suspicious algorithms. For example, a webshop without a security certificate. This way, you prevent personal data from falling into the wrong hands.
