Set Norton to protect you from exploits,
cybercriminals, and zero-day attacks
A zero-day exploit is a technique that cybercriminals use to take advantage of vulnerabilities
in a program in order to perform malicious actions on your computer. Besides slowing down
your computer or causing programs to fail, these exploits can expose your personal data and
confidential information to cybercriminals.
The Exploit Prevention feature in your Norton product protects applications and files that are
prone to exploit attacks. By default, Norton Exploit Prevention is turned on and blocks attacks
against vulnerable programs by closing those programs. Norton sends an Attack Blocked
notification when it shuts down a program and provides links to information about the attack.
Turn off or turn on Exploit Prevention
Note: When Exploit Prevention is turned off, your computer is vulnerable to zero-day and
other exploits.
