The newly-launched AntiTrack is currently available in the United States for Windows devices and supports Alphabet’s GOOGL Google Chrome, Mozilla FireFox and Microsoft MSFT Edge browsers. The price starts at $39.99 per for the existing customers and $49.99 for one device per year.
NortonLifeLock is making continuous efforts to attract individuals and enterprises by introducing various Internet security solutions.

It has also expanded its privacy offering by introducing the Privacy Monitor Assistant, which helps customers reclaim control over their personal information.
It has also launched the Norton Anti-virus software for small businesses that helps them secure and manage their information-driven businesses.
Additionally, in an effort to broaden its product portfolio and global reach, NortonLifeLock recently entered into an agreement to acquire the U.K.-based cybersecurity firm, Avast Plc, in a cash-and-stock deal. The merger agreement values Avast’s entire ordinary share capital between $8.1 billion and $8.6 billion, depending upon its shareholders’ elections.
The merger will combine two broad and complementary product portfolios, thereby helping NortonLifeLock in becoming a global leader in the consumer security software market. Avast primarily makes free and premium security software for desktop and mobile devices, while NortonLifeLock deals with consumer cyber safety.
