Norton Antivirus Software

Norton is one of the world's most recognized names in cybersecurity, originally founded in the early 1980s. The brand gained prominence through its utility software suite created by Peter Norton Computing, which was later acquired by Symantec Corporation. Throughout its history, Norton has evolved from providing simple disk utilities to a comprehensive suite of digital security tools protecting millions of users globally.

Today, the brand is owned by Gen Digital Inc., a company formed through the significant merger of NortonLifeLock (formerly Symantec's consumer division) and Avast. This strategic consolidation has positioned Norton as a flagship product in a portfolio of digital safety brands. While the software is distributed digitally around the world, its core development and corporate strategy remain centered in the United States, utilizing global engineering teams across several countries.
