Norton Security Tile

I unable to find Norton Security Tile

Not much to go on there - Which version of Windows do you have and which Norton product / version?

 

Do you mean the Norton Gadget?

 

This has been removed since the release of NISv20 (2013) because Microsoft no longer support Gadgets and consider them a possible security risk.

Hello roats1,

 

I apologize for just noticing your inquiry. I assume you are running Windows 8 or 8.1 because you mentioned a Norton Security Tile, with "tiles" being used on the W8 or W8.1 start page.

 

What you refer to as the Norton Security Tile is most likely the Norton Studio tile which is available free for Norton users, and monitors your Norton application's status in real time.

 

First, look for and open the Microsoft Windows Store tile. Once opened, enter the word "Norton" in the "search for apps" box in the upper-right-hand corner of the page. You should see at least three drop-down-menu Norton options appear. Highlight and open the Norton Studio option. A new page should open, explaining what it is about. As you scroll to the right, you should see even more Norton options.

 

 Another suggestion is to enter the word "Symantec" in the above-mentioned "search for apps" box, which should open a page for free and pay-for Norton apps. 

Hello again roats1,

 

On second thought, maybe you cannot see the regular Norton tile on the W8 or 8.1's Start page. If that is what you are missing, use the feature to temporarily make visible _all_ the application tiles, not just the Start page's preferred tiles.

 

Upon getting to the display of all the application tiles, you may need to scroll to the right to find the regular Norton tile. If & when you find it, right-click on it. An option should appear to "Pin to Start". Clicking on Pin to Start will cause the regular Norton tile to appear on the W8 or 8.1's Start page.
