Norton 360 for Windows v26.2
Norton Deepfake Protection is a feature that combines Norton’s Al technology with the
power of Windows Al PC to automatically detect deepfakes and identify scams
in videos. It runs on your device to analyze and detect synthetic voices while
you watch a video or listen to audio, and notifies you accordingly.
Automatic Deepfake Protection works only on YouTube, Facebook, X, and
TikTok for videos in English, and it requires a Windows Copilot+ PC with a
compatible Qualcomm or Intel processor and a supported browser. If your
Windows PC does not meet these specific hardware requirements, the
automatic Deepfake Protection feature might not be available or visible in the
Scam Protection section of your Norton 360 application.
However, if you do not have an Al PC, you can still try Deepfake Protection
early access in Norton Genie Al Assistant. Norton Genie, your built-in Al-
powered assistant, can help identify deepfake videos on YouTube (only public
videos). Deepfake Protection in Norton Genie Al-powered Assistant is currently
available only on YouTube videos in English.

Here are the general system requirements for a traditional high-performance non-AI PC to use Deepfake Protection:
- CPU cores: 6 or more physical cores are recommended.
- RAM: Minimum of 8GB RAM.
- Hard disk capacity: 1 GB of available hard disk space (for the AI model).
If your PC has less than 6 physical CPU cores, it will not support automatic Deepfake detections. You can check your device’s full specifications by pressing the Windows key + R, typing “msinfo32”, and pressing Enter.
I can help clarify the differences in system requirements for Norton 360 Deepfake Protection between AI PCs and high-performance non-AI PCs.
For AI PCs, which are Windows Copilot+ PCs using Qualcomm Snapdragon X Series or Intel Core Ultra Series chips that contain an NPU, the recommended specifications are:
- CPU cores: 8 or more physical cores.
- RAM: Minimum of 16GB RAM.
For traditional high-performance non-AI PCs, the general specifications are:
- CPU cores: 6 or more physical cores are recommended.
- RAM: Minimum of 8GB RAM.
- Hard disk capacity: 1 GB of available hard disk space (for the AI model).
It’s important to note that automatic Deepfake Protection is automatically installed and enabled on both AI and high-performance non-AI PCs. If you have a traditional non-AI PC with less than 6 physical CPU cores and less than 8GB of RAM, you would need to manually install Deepfake Protection. You can check your device’s full specifications by pressing the Windows key + R, typing “msinfo32”, and pressing Enter.
I can certainly guide you on how to manually install Norton 360 Deepfake Protection on your Windows device, especially if you have a traditional non-AI PC that doesn’t support automatic detections.
- Open your Norton device security app.
- On the left panel, click Home.
- On the right side of the window, click Scam Protection or Scam Protection Pro.
