Using Norton Confidential

 

Installing Norton Confidential

Norton Confidential is an online security application that is slightly different to many of the other applications on the market today. Rather than offering protection against viruses, spyware and other infections that can be picked up in the wild Norton Confidential is primarily geared towards the protection against phishing scams and the verification of websites' authenticity. It will also help to encrypt and powerfully protect your password in order to prevent the theft or deliberate loss of your usernames and passwords for vital websites. This level of protection can help to beat identity fraud and digital theft – both problems that are becoming more and more prevalent on the web today.

General Installation Notes

Installation of Norton Confidential is similar to the installation of any product on a Windows computer and is typically guided by a wizard type interface. This interface makes installation a quick and painless procedure and helps to ensure that you have all components of the software you need. It also ensures that the appropriate components of the application are added and that the relevant shortcuts and links are also added to the proper area of your PC. Also similar to a number of other applications, especially Norton applications, is the ability to either download the application or purchase a DVD copy delivered through the post or bought from a high street store.

Starting Installation

To commence with installation either double click on the downloaded executable file or insert the DVD into the drive on your computer. This will bring up the installation menu from where you should choose the Install Norton Confidential option to begin installation 

Using The Default Settings

Typically, users are recommended to use the default settings. This includes installing the application into the folder suggested by the installer and selecting the complete installation. A complete installation installs all components of the software, whereas in comparison, a custom installation lets you choose the exact components to be added. Most users will require all components anyway so the complete installation is the best option.

Registering A New Norton Account Or Logging In To An Existing One

You will be required to either register a new Norton account or log in using an existing account during the installation process. This is done in order that you can take advantage of the latest downloads and upgrades to your software but is also a required step of the installation procedure that must be completed in order to proceed.

Installation Completion

When you have completed the installation you will be taken to the main Norton Confidential where you can begin to choose the appropriate settings for your system and for your use. Many of the features of the software, though, will be accessed as and when you access the Internet, use your email client, and attempt to store usernames and passwords.
