Norton Internet Security 2011 was released for [[Beta testing]] on April 21, 2010. Changes included a new user interface and improved malware scanning. [[NortonLifeLock|Symantec]] released an application that "scans" the user's [[Facebook]] feed for any malware links. This application does not require a valid subscription.<ref name="Norton Safe Web Fbook">{{cite web|url=http://apps.facebook.com/nortonsafeweb/?ref=bookmarks|title=Norton Safe Web|publisher=[[NortonLifeLock|Symantec]]|access-date=2010-05-05|location=[[Facebook]]}}</ref> In a test sponsored<ref>Dennis Technology Labs (3 August 2010), [http://www.dennistechnologylabs.com/reports/s/a-m/symantec/DTL_PCVP2011_SYMC.pdf PC Anti-virus Protection 2009], retrieved 4 October 2012</ref> by Symantec, Norton Internet Security 2011 was the only security suite to achieve a 100 percent protection score in a new third-party test from Dennis Labs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.symantec.com/about/news/release/article.jsp?prid=20100908_02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100913120117/http://www.symantec.com/about/news/release/article.jsp?prid=20100908_02 |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 13, 2010 |title=Norton Internet Security and Norton AntiVirus 2011 Give Consumers Number One Ranked Powerful Protection Against Cybercrime |publisher=Symantec.com |date=2010-09-08 |access-date=2012-10-04}}</ref> Improved reputation scan provided the user with an easy to understand interface on files stored on the user's computer, marking them as trusted, good, poor, or bad.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://us.norton.com/products/tutorials/tutorials.jsp?pvid=nis2011&tutid=reputation_scan |title=File Compare &#124; Norton Reputation Scan |publisher=Us.norton.com |access-date=2012-10-04 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121014102205/http://us.norton.com/products/tutorials/tutorials.jsp?pvid=nis2011&tutid=reputation_scan |archive-date=2012-10-14 }}</ref> The production version was released on August 31, 2010.

On December 9, 2010, Symantec released the 18.5 version through [[Norton LiveUpdate]]. However, this update was later pulled due to numerous reports on the Norton forums that the update was causing system instability during system scans (both full and quick scans). This issue only affected some customers. Symantec later fixed the bugs and re-released the update.<ref>{{cite web|last=Lopez|first=Tim|title=Product Update - 18.5.0.125 for Norton Internet Security 2011 and Norton AntiVirus 2011 (December 27th, 2010) - ENGLISH ONLY|date=27 December 2010 |url=http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Product-Update-18-5-0-125-for-Norton-Internet-Security-2011-and/td-p/350280|publisher=[[NortonLifeLock|Symantec]]|access-date=3 January 2011}}</ref>

Following the acquisition of [[Verisign|VeriSign]] Security by [[NortonLifeLock|Symantec]], several VeriSign features were incorporated. A new Norton logo added the VeriSign checkmark formerly seen in VeriSign's own logo, as well as several new icon changes to the [[Norton Safe Web]] and Norton Identity Safe features.
