How do I install anti-virus on a Lenovo Chromebook?
Default install is either Windows, macOS, Android or iOS. No other options.
Norton webpage won't accept my mobile number as it is incorrect format but doesn't show what a correct format is.
Chatbot is useless.
Can somebody advise? Thanks

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

Chromebook, Amazon devices (Kindle/Fire), and Huawei devices are unsupported.

What's your geo-location/country? Are you United States?
Maybe, I can post Norton Support phone number, if you want.

MRMARKV MATTHEWS:Norton webpage won't accept my mobile number as it is incorrect format but doesn't show what a correct format is.
mobile number for Two Factor Authentication &or mobile number for personal details?
for example: this format works, my side
United States +1 ###-###-####
fwiw ~ entering valid phone number as +1 ########## populates as +1 ###-###-####
Caveat: I do not use 2FA, have PII nor billing profile with my Norton account.
as always, your mileage may vary
