Norton Security and Antivirus 3.11.0.2625
Therefore, people should install antivirus apps on their devices, to keep them clean of viruses and to help locate them in case of loss or theft. Norton Security and Antivirus offers all these features, but it only comes with a 30 day trial for the free version.
Nice layout with all features at hand
It has become highly important for antivirus apps to make good use of animation and sport nice layouts for people to have instant access to all sections without having to go through a clogged UI.
Norton Security and Antivirus comes with some tips and instructions, but it mostly leaves users to explore the app and its features. All tools are displayed as thumbnails on the home screen and you have a menu with settings and an activity log.
Users need to register with an account before using the app, there's no option of linking your social networking profiles which is good security-wise.
Scan your device to steer clear of viruses
The first thing you should do after installing an antivirus app is to scan your device for malware. Norton Security and Antivirus doesn't take long to do so, only a few seconds and it tells you which apps may pose threats on your device. It shows you if they display ads, whether they're intrusive or only inside the app.
It can also show you how much data the app uses in the background and how much battery. You can uninstall the app or whitelist it from scans. Norton classifies all apps on your device into categories, based on their level of ricks.
Locate your device in case of theft
Another free version is the one that lets you location your device in case of theft or loss. The app provides you with a code that lets you lock your device, remote scream or locate it on a map.
And if you want extra protection, you can have the app wipe your device or enable Norton as device administration and make it hard for apps to uninstall it. Some of the premium features include the option of backing up contacts or blocking calls from a certain number.
You can also enable web protection to block fraudulent sites that could steal your personal information while you surf the web.
