Norton LifeLock
What Norton LifeLock is
Norton LifeLock monitors credit, financial accounts, and personal information for signs of identity theft and fraud. Monitoring may cover the internet, dark web, and credit and financial service applications, with alerts delivered through the app, text, or email. After setup, its data broker removal service scans for personal information and submits removal requests every 90 days. Members can share a suspicious message or website for review or ask the Virtual Advisor for advice. If identity theft occurs, a U.S.-based Restoration Specialist can help with calls, paperwork, and disputes. All plans include up to $1 million in coverage for lawyers and experts; reimbursement and expense coverage vary by plan, and insurance benefits come from third parties. The service also offers 24/7 live support. Monthly plans are Core at $12.49 per month, Advanced at $19.99 per month, and Total at $34.99 per month. Individual annual options start with Core Individual at $10.42 per year, billed at $10.42/mo., with $124.99 due today and renewal at $124.99/yr. A 30-day trial requires a valid card and converts to paid billing unless canceled before it ends.
Who it suits
Norton LifeLock suits people who want alerts about identity and financial activity, plus help with restoration if identity theft occurs. Family plans may suit subscribers who need LifeLock Junior coverage for up to 10 minors for whom they are a parent or legal guardian.
