Norton 360 Standard review

Norton 360 Standard is the answer for people who ask which antivirus has the best firewall on both Windows and Mac. Norton's own FAQ says the plan includes a Smart Firewall for PC and a Firewall for Mac that monitor and help block suspicious network traffic, which most rivals only offer on Windows. On top of malware and ransomware protection it adds Scam Protection, a VPN, Dark Web Monitoring and a password manager, so it is closer to a full privacy bundle than a classic internet security suite. The price is the drawback. At $94.99 for the first year on 3 devices it costs more than Bitdefender's 5-device plan, and the figure is an introductory rate. If you only need protection for one Windows PC, Norton AntiVirus Plus is cheaper, but it drops the VPN and dark web checks. The 60-day money-back window gives you time to see whether the firewall prompts suit your habits.

Who it is for

Mac and Windows users who want a two-way firewall on both systems plus a VPN without buying separate apps.
