Armor suite and Norton

 

I just set up my Orbi mesh network.  I did not activate the cybersecurity Armor yet.  I am about 1/2 through my subscription to Norton and have six devices on it.  If the cybersecurity suite is activated 1) Is the software loaded to the router or computer? 2) If it is loaded to the router can it be assigned only to the router for now?  3) Whether loaded to router or computer will it interfer with Norton?  Thank you for your assistance.

    Hi RJoel ,

    Yes, when you activate Armor, the main component is on the main router only. That component will help monitor all the outbound traffic and also perform vulnerability scan on your IoT (smart home) devices. While we recommend installing the Bitdefender Security software on your personal devices, it's optional.
