Norton introduced its first antivirus software in 1991 under the Symantec umbrella. Symantec purchased LifeLock in 2018, and in 2019, after the company's enterprise division was sold, the name was changed to NortonLifeLock. The company is based in Tempe, Arizona.
Norton 360 with LifeLock won best antivirus for Windows because of how it has continued to build on its history of protecting Windows machines. The identity theft protection capabilities of LifeLock alone give this product an edge.
