Norton 360 is the most complete bundle for a household that wants one subscription to handle more than malware. Every tier includes antivirus, ransomware protection, Scam Protection, a password manager and deepfake protection, and Norton 360 Standard adds a VPN and Dark Web Monitoring on 3 devices. Deluxe, at $119.99 for the first year, stretches that to 5 PCs, Macs, tablets or phones and adds 50 GB of cloud backup, Privacy Monitor and parental controls. The entry AntiVirus Plus plan costs $59.99 for one device. Two details matter before buying. Cloud backup and the utilities run only on Windows, so Mac users pay for features they cannot use, and the 100% Virus Protection Promise applies only while the plan auto-renews. Norton also costs more than Bitdefender at each comparable tier. The 60-day money-back guarantee gives you time to decide whether the extras justify the price.
