For IT support, you may also be directed to a remote support site like LogMeIn to provide a PIN and download a rescue applet for a support session.
✅ 1. Remote Access for Support (Norton Agent Remotely Controls Your Device)
If you’re contacting Norton Support and want a technician to remotely access your device to help resolve an issue, follow these steps:
🔹 How to Start a Remote Session with Norton Support
-
Go to the official Norton remote support site: ▶️ https://help.norton.com/remote
(Or you may be redirected from https://norton.com/remote) -
Enter the 6-digit PIN given by the Norton technician.
This PIN allows the support agent to securely connect to your device. -
Download and run the “Norton Remote Support” tool when prompted.
-
The agent will gain temporary access to your system to diagnose or fix issues.
🔐 Security tip: Never allow remote access unless you initiated the support session yourself via norton.com/support. Scammers often impersonate Norton.

✅ 2. Remote Management of Your Devices via Norton Account
If you want to remotely manage your own devices (like viewing protection status, running scans, etc.), Norton offers a Remote Management feature:
🔹 How to Use Norton Remote Management
-
Sign in to your Norton account: ▶️ https://my.norton.com
-
Go to the “Devices” tab. Here, you’ll see all devices with Norton installed and linked to your account.
-
You can remotely:
-
View protection status
-
Run LiveUpdate
-
Fix some security issues
-
🔧 To Turn Remote Management On/Off:
-
Open your Norton app.
-
Go to Settings > Administrative Settings.
-
Scroll to Remote Management.
-
Toggle ON or OFF as needed.
ℹ️ This is not full remote control like TeamViewer or AnyDesk — it’s for remote device health management only.
❌ What Norton Does NOT Do
-
Norton does not offer remote desktop or screen sharing tools for you to control another device remotely (like TeamViewer, Chrome Remote Desktop, etc.).
-
It also does not allow remote control of your computer by anyone without your explicit consent and a session PIN.
