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

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

  • In Chat dialog as soon as you can type text -> type "Live Agent" -> until you see "I am transferring you to a specialist for further assistance". 

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

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.
