Summary:
Xfinity is no longer offering Norton Security Online with their Xfinity Internet service starting January 1, 2021. However, if the page is still accessible on January 1, 2021, users might still be able to get Norton for free if they don’t use Xfinity’s xFi Gateway. Norton Security Online has been replaced by Xfinity xFi Advanced Security, which provides a smarter and more personalized security solution for home networks. It protects all connected devices, including computers, mobile phones, home security cameras, and smart thermostats.
If Norton fails to load and you see an error message, it could be due to outdated video graphics card driver software on your computer. xFi Advanced Security does not offer the same range of protection as Norton Security Online. While Norton includes both an antivirus program and a firewall, Comcast recommends using a non-Comcast antivirus program along with the xFi firewall. Xfinity Internet customers can get Norton Security Online at no extra cost, which helps protect their PC, Mac, and mobile phone from online threats.
Even with Xfinity’s security measures in place, it is still advisable to install antivirus/anti-malware software on your devices. When you are not connected to your home network, your devices are vulnerable until you activate the Windows firewall. If you can’t find the Norton product icon on your Windows desktop, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the Norton product or use the Norton Remove and Reinstall Tool. In April 2019, Norton Security was replaced by the new Norton 360, which is compatible with Windows PC, Mac computers, and iOS and Android smartphones.
