Norton 360 is the most complete package here for people who want one subscription to cover several jobs. Every Norton 360 plan includes antivirus, malware, ransomware and hacking protection, Scam Protection, Deepfake Protection, a password manager, a VPN and dark web monitoring, backed by Norton's 100% Virus Protection Promise. Standard covers 3 devices with 2GB of cloud backup for $94.99 in the first year, and Deluxe covers 5 devices with 50GB of backup, Privacy Monitor and parental control for $119.99. The LifeLock tier adds identity theft protection for 10 devices. There are limits worth knowing: cloud backup and some utilities run only on Windows, and parental control monitoring covers Windows, iOS and Android but not Mac. The pricing page we checked showed no discount and did not display the renewal price, so confirm it at checkout. A 60-day money-back guarantee gives you time to decide.
