Does Norton Cover Chromebook OS?

Gepostet: 2023-06-01 | 08:57 · 2 Antworten · · Übersetzung:

Hello there, 

I have Norton 360 Standard Plus subscription. 

I have up to 3 devices to protect out of this plan. And one of the devices is a Chromebook/Chrome OS. 

Does Norton 360 Standard Plus cover Chrome OS? 

When I tried to add the Chromebook device, the options for the operating system are: 
- Windows

- Mac

- Android

But no Chrome OS. So I'm wondering if anyone else have Chrome OS and have their device protected from Norton 360 Standard Plus subscription. 

Thank you for your time and look forward to hear from anyone soon!

Chromebooks are not officially supported by Norton because of the proprietary Chrome OS being used. Although a variant of the Android OS, there are enough changes to make Norton apps incompatible.

Here is a Google support article on the protection included with a Chromebook.   https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/3438631

As you already found, the OS requirements for Norton do not include the Chrome OS. So it is not supported.

Here is information from Google support on the security features of Chrome OS   https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/3438631?hl=en

And another story about why Chrome OS does not need AV.   https://www.dignited.com/95309/why-you-dont-need-an-antivirus-on-your-ch...
