Norton AntiVirus Plus 2025

Norton AntiVirus Plus 2025 offers everything you need to stay safe from online threats, with on-demand and real-time scanning, behavioural monitoring, browser protection and more.

This latest version also includes Genie Scam Protection, an AI-powered scam detection system that helps protect you from text and web scams, whenever and wherever you come across them.

Setup is a breeze: just download the installer from the web and step through the simple, short wizard. You can put off initialising the password manager and cloud storage if you want to jump straight to scanning your drives, and return to them when you have more time.

Among other upgrades, AntiVirus Plus 2025 brings an update to the Norton Identity Safe password manager, with drag-and-drop support, and the ability to search for logins directly from the toolbar. And as well as offering tools to generate, store and manage your passwords, it can take care of credit card information and other credentials.
