Among current Mac antivirus products, only Intego costs as much, though its $99.99 list price only gets you three licenses. You pay $99.99 per year for a Norton subscription, which lets you install protection on up to five macOS, Windows, iOS, or Android devices. Likewise, you can click to manage Parental Controls online, but there's no local agent to enforce rules on the Mac. While you can access backups from your Windows devices online, there isn't a component to back up files from your Mac. I'll cover these in detail below.ĭon't get too excited about seeing Cloud Backup in the list. Here you can see all the security elements: Device Security, Dark Web Monitoring, Secure VPN, Password Manager, Parental Controls, and Cloud Backup.
You manage this protection through the My Norton dashboard. The Norton 360 name reflects an emphasis on omnidirectional protection for your devices, your identity, your data, and more. All the other Mac antivirus utilities I've evaluated install without a reboot. Like Intego Mac Internet Security X9, Norton requires a reboot to complete the installation. You can then download and install Norton protection on your Mac, or email a link to install it on another device. To start, you create a Norton account online and register the subscription you bought.
