The latter is just a way to get back to the My Norton launcher. Security is where most of the action happens. Here you can initiate a scan from a wide number of options, including a quick scan the default , full system scan, a custom scan, and a custom task. The custom scan can check for protection updates, remove temporary files in the system, run disk optimization, and erase Internet Explorer temporary files.
Beyond scans, the Security section also houses the SafeCam settings for keeping rogue programs away from your webcam. In my opinion, the other extensions are less important. Norton Home Page and Norton Safe Search are particularly unimpressive and essentially do the work that one extension could.
In our experience, these two extensions just get in your way. Backup is pretty straightforward. Norton Deluxe also includes some system optimization features such as disk optimization, file cleanup, a startup manager, and a graph showing performance history. If any of this data shows up in a hacked database on the so-called Dark Web, Norton LifeLock will alert you to it.
I added a child profile, and then followed the instructions to install the Norton Family App on the test PC to monitor the child user account for Windows To combat the latest threats, Norton has some new anti-malware features. Then you will have an idea of what you will need in terms of storage space.
For many, this is a matter of preference. The only problem is that these drives can be lost, stolen, or fail just like a regular computer. This will depend on the amount of data that you need to back up and the connection rate that you have with your internet. Many people set up their backups to take place at night while they sleep.
Should you find that you have a file that you no longer want to keep, simply remove it from your storage and it will be gone. Keep in mind, once it is deleted from storage, you run the risk of losing that file permanently.

What is ransomware? Explore Norton plans. I read a couple of earlier posts about this annoying problem on Windows I had the problem as well, even with the latest Norton updates. I would place the icon where I wanted it and after reset, it was back in the original location.
I solved the problem by creating my own shortcut for Norton Right click on the original Norton shortcut and from the context menu select Properties. In the Properties window, select the Shortcut tab and copy the info from the "Target" field - be sure you copy the entire line. Close the properties window. Delete the original shortcut. Note - delete it to the recycle bin so you can recover it if the new shortcut does not work for you. Paste the info from the original "Target" field into "Type the location of the item:".
