I'm an old lady. Do I need a security system, such as Norton's LifeLock on my new Samsung Chromebook? If not, what type of security comes with it? Also, do I need earphones to establish sound on my new Zoom feature? null

Chromebooks are not really prone to getting viruses. The most important thing is not enter personal/secure information on websites you do not trust. Norton LifeLock could be used for identity theft protection and damage reimbursement, but it's not really going to protect you from much on your chromebook. A more useful tool would be an ad blocker like "uBlock Origin" which you can add by going to the google chrome web store and searching for "uBlock Origin" and clicking "Add to Chrome" and then clicking "Okay". 

Your chromebook should have built-in speakers to establish sound. If you would like earphones so that no one else can hear your Zoom conversation, then you can use those instead.

Norton's LifeLock isn't needed to operate a Samsung Chromebook. My grandson only has Wifi and that works fine according to him.
