  Hi there. I assume you’re talking about Norton Antivirus? I don’t know of any way to verify a WordPress.com blog with any antivirus program. It would help if you can describe in more detail exactly what it is you want to do.

  I have registered my site with Norton search but asks for owner verification via a Meta Tag the same as with Google, Bing, etc.

  Thanks for elaborating. We don’t have FTP access to our sites, so we can’t add meta tags to the site header as you’d do with self-hosted websites. However, WordPress.com do allow us to add meta tags via the dashboard for certain services, as explained here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/ You will see Norton is not included there, so there is no way to verify your site with them from the WordPress.com end.

  The staff response in this thread (https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/can-my-wordpress-website-be-verified-as-a-norton-safe-site?replies=3#post-2079631) also confirms that it is not possible and advises you contact the Norton support desk directly to resolve this.
