Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies	Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Business Symantec Corporation (“Symantec,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to Symantec Corporation and all of its subsidiaries) is a global leader in cybersecurity. On August 1, 2016 , we completed our acquisition of Blue Coat, Inc. (“Blue Coat”). On February 9, 2017 , we completed our acquisition of LifeLock, Inc. (“LifeLock”). Blue Coat and LifeLock have been included in our consolidated results of operations since their respective acquisition dates. Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, except as otherwise noted, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 . The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year. We have a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to March 31. Unless otherwise stated, references to three month ended periods in this report relate to fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016 . The three months ended June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016 each consisted of 13 weeks. Our 2018 fiscal year consists of 52 weeks and ends on March 30, 2018 . Recently adopted authoritative guidance Employee Stock-Based Compensation. In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we adopted new guidance to simplify accounting for share-based payment transactions. Prior to adoption, excess tax benefits resulting from the difference between the deduction for tax purposes and the compensation costs recognized for financial reporting were not recognized until the deduction reduced taxes payable. As a result of the new guidance, we now recognize excess tax benefits in the current accounting period. In addition, we elected to continue to estimate forfeitures rather than record the forfeitures as they occur. We adopted the change in accounting method using the modified retrospective method. We also elected to retrospectively apply the change in presentation of excess tax benefits recognized on stock-based compensation expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows from financing activities to operating activities. The cumulative effect of adopting the new accounting guidance was not material. There have been no other material changes in our significant accounting policies as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2017 , as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 .

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information We have the following two reporting segments, which are the same as our operating segments: • Enterprise Security. Our Enterprise Security segment protects organizations so they can securely conduct business while leveraging new platforms and data. Our Enterprise Security segment includes our threat protection products, information protection products, cyber security services, website security and advanced web and cloud security offerings. Our enterprise endpoint and network security and management offerings support evolving endpoints and networks, providing advanced threat protection while helping reduce cost and complexity. These solutions are delivered through various methods, such as software, appliance, Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) and managed services. • Consumer Digital Safety. Our Consumer Digital Safety segment focuses on providing a Digital Safety solution to protect information, devices, networks and the identities of consumers. This platform includes our Norton-branded services, which provide multi-layer security and identity protection on major desktop and mobile operating systems, to defend against increasingly complex online threats to individuals, families and small businesses. With the addition of LifeLock-branded identity protection services, we are accelerating our leadership in Consumer Digital Safety to protect all aspects of the consumer’s digital life. Operating segments are based upon the nature of our business and how our business is managed. Our Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”), comprised of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), use operating segment financial information to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources. There were no inter-segment sales for the periods presented. The following table summarizes the operating results of our reporting segments: Three Months Ended (In millions) June 30, 2017 July 1, 2016 Total Segments: Net revenues $ 1,175 $ 884 Operating income $ 324 $ 253 Enterprise Security: Net revenues $ 646 $ 481 Operating income $ 94 $ 28 Consumer Digital Safety: Net revenues $ 529 $ 403 Operating income $ 230 $ 225 We do not allocate to our operating segments certain operating expenses that we manage separately at the corporate level and are not used in evaluating the results of, or in allocating resources to, our segments. These unallocated expenses consist of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring, transition and other charges, and acquisition and integration costs. The following table provides a reconciliation of our total reportable segments’ operating income to our total operating income (loss): Three Months Ended (In millions) June 30, 2017 July 1, 2016 Total segment operating income $ 324 $ 253 Reconciling items: Stock-based compensation expense 147 49 Amortization of intangible assets 114 20 Restructuring, transition and other 88 70 Acquisition and integration costs 19 8 Total consolidated operating income (loss) from continuing operations $ (44 ) $ 106

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income (Loss) Per Share	Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, diluted net income (loss) per share also includes the incremental effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include the dilutive effect of the shares’ underlying outstanding stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based restricted stock units (“PRUs”), Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) and convertible notes. See Note 10 for more information on our stock-based compensation. The components of net income (loss) per share are as follows: Three Months Ended (In millions, except per share data) June 30, 2017 July 1, 2016 Income (loss) from continuing operations $ (110 ) $ 66 Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes (23 ) 69 Net income (loss) $ (133 ) $ 135 Income (loss) per share - basic: Continuing operations $ (0.18 ) $ 0.11 Discontinued operations $ (0.04 ) $ 0.11 Net income (loss) per share - basic $ (0.22 ) $ 0.22 Income (loss) per share - diluted: Continuing operations $ (0.18 ) $ 0.11 Discontinued operations $ (0.04 ) $ 0.11 Net income (loss) per share - diluted $ (0.22 ) $ 0.22 Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic 609 613 Dilutive potential shares — 7 Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted 609 620 The following have been excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive: As of (In millions) June 30, 2017 July 1, 2016 Convertible shares 91 — RSUs and PRUs 33 2 Stock options and ESPP 20 — Total 144 2 Under the treasury stock method, our Convertible Senior Notes will generally have a dilutive impact on earnings when our average stock price for the period exceeds approximately $16.77 per share for the 2.5% Convertible Senior Notes and $20.41 per share for the 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes. During the three months ended June 30, 2017 , the conversion feature of both notes was anti-dilutive due to a loss from continuing operations.

Restructuring, Transition and O

Restructuring, Transition and Other Costs	3 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2017
Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring, Transition and Other Costs	Restructuring, Transition and Other Costs Our restructuring, transition and other costs and liabilities consist primarily of severance, facilities, transition and other related costs. Severance costs generally include severance payments, outplacement services, health insurance coverage, and legal costs. Included in other exit and disposal costs are advisory fees incurred in connection with restructuring events and consulting and disentanglement costs to prune selected lines of business that do not fit either our growth, margin or strategic objectives. Facilities costs, which are also included in other exit and disposal costs, generally include rent expense and lease termination costs, less estimated sublease income. Transition costs primarily consist of consulting charges associated with the implementation of new enterprise resource planning systems and costs to automate business processes. Restructuring, transition and other costs are managed at the corporate level and are not allocated to our reportable segments. See Note 2 for information regarding the reconciliation of total segment operating income to total consolidated operating income (loss). Fiscal 2017 Plan We initiated a restructuring plan in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 to reduce complexity by means of long-term structural improvements (the “Fiscal 2017 Plan”). We expect to reduce headcount and close certain facilities in connection with the restructuring plan. We expect total costs incurred in connection with the Fiscal 2017 Plan to range between $430 million and $480 million , of which approximately $185 million to $195 million is expected to be for severance and termination benefits and $205 million to $230 million is expected to be for other exit and disposal costs primarily consisting of contract termination and relocation costs and advisory fees. The remainder is expected to be in the form of asset write-offs. These actions are expected to be completed in fiscal 2018. As of June 30, 2017 , liabilities for excess facility obligations at several locations around the world are expected to be paid throughout the respective lease terms, the longest of which extends through fiscal 2022 . Additionally, we expect continuing significant transition costs associated with the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system and costs to automate business processes. Restructuring, transition and other costs summary For the three months ended June 30, 2017 we incurred the following restructuring, transition and other costs: (In millions) June 30, 2017 Severance and termination costs $ 27 Other exit and disposal costs 32 Asset write-offs 1 Transition costs 28 Total restructuring, transition and other $ 88 Restructuring liabilities summary As of June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017 , the restructuring liabilities are included in accounts payable, other current liabilities and other long-term obligations in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The following table summarizes our effective tax rate for income (loss) from continuing operations for the periods presented: Three Months Ended (In millions, except percentages) June 30, 2017 July 1, 2016 Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes $ (134 ) $ 97 Income tax expense (benefit) $ (24 ) $ 31 Effective tax rate 18 % 32 % Our effective tax rate for loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to the benefits of lower-taxed international earnings, the research and development tax credit, and excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, partially offset by various permanent differences. Our effective tax rate for income from continuing operations for the three months ended July 1, 2016 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to the benefits of lower-taxed international earnings, domestic manufacturing incentives and the research and development tax credit, partially offset by state income taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 , we recorded income tax expense on discontinued operations of $41 million . For the three months ended July 1, 2016 , we recorded income tax expense on discontinued operations of $16 million . See Note 12 for further details regarding discontinued operations. We are a U.S.-based multinational company subject to tax in multiple U.S. and international tax jurisdictions. A substantial portion of our international earnings were generated from subsidiaries organized in Ireland and Singapore. Our results of operations would be adversely affected to the extent that our geographical mix of income becomes more weighted toward jurisdictions with higher tax rates and would be favorably affected to the extent the relative geographic mix shifts to lower tax jurisdictions. Any change in our mix of earnings is dependent upon many factors and is therefore difficult to predict. The timing of the resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year. Although potential resolution of uncertain tax positions involve multiple tax periods and jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits related to these audits could decrease, whether by payment, release, or a combination of both, in the next 12 months by $12 million , which could reduce our income tax provision and therefore benefit the resulting effective tax rate. We continue to monitor the progress of ongoing income tax controversies and the impact, if any, of the expected expiration of the statute of limitations in various taxing jurisdictions.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Indemnifications In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners, subsidiaries and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of our breach of agreements or representations and warranties made by us. In addition, our bylaws contain indemnification obligations to our directors, officers, employees and agents, and we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain of our officers to give such directors and officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in our bylaws and to provide additional procedural protections. We maintain director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from our obligation to indemnify our directors and officers. It is not possible to determine the aggregate maximum potential loss under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Such indemnification agreements might not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, we have not incurred material costs as a result of obligations under these agreements and we have not accrued any liabilities related to such indemnification obligations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In connection with the sale of our former information management business (“Veritas”), we assigned several leases to Veritas Technologies LLC or its related subsidiaries. As a condition to consenting to the assignments, certain lessors required us to agree to indemnify the lessor under the applicable lease with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of Veritas Technologies LLC or its related subsidiaries’ breach of payment obligations under the terms of the lease. As with our other indemnification obligations discussed above and in general, it is not possible to determine the aggregate maximum potential loss under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. As with our other indemnification obligations, such indemnification agreements might not be subject to maximum loss clauses and to date, generally under our real estate obligations, we have not incurred material costs as a result of such obligations under our leases and have not accrued any liabilities related to such indemnification obligations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We provide limited product warranties and the majority of our software license agreements contain provisions that indemnify licensees of our software from damages and costs resulting from claims alleging that our software infringes on the intellectual property rights of a third party. Historically, payments made under these provisions have been immaterial. We monitor the conditions that are subject to indemnification to identify if a loss has occurred. Litigation contingencies GSA During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we were advised by the Commercial Litigation Branch of the Department of Justice’s (“DOJ”) Civil Division and the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia that the government is investigating our compliance with certain provisions of our U.S. General Services Administration (“GSA”) Multiple Award Schedule Contract No. GS-35F-0240T effective January 24, 2007, including provisions relating to pricing, country of origin, accessibility, and the disclosure of commercial sales practices. As reported on the GSA’s publicly-available database, our total sales under the GSA Schedule contract were approximately $222 million from the period beginning January 2007 and ending September 2012. We have fully cooperated with the government throughout its investigation and in January 2014, representatives of the government indicated that their initial analysis of our actual damages exposure from direct government sales under the GSA schedule was approximately $145 million ; since the initial meeting, the government’s analysis of our potential damages exposure relating to direct sales has increased. The government has also indicated they are going to pursue claims for certain sales to California, Florida, and New York as well as sales to the federal government through reseller GSA Schedule contracts, which could significantly increase our potential damages exposure. In 2012, a sealed civil lawsuit was filed against Symantec related to compliance with the GSA Schedule contract and contracts with California, Florida, and New York. On July 18, 2014, the Court-imposed seal expired, and the government intervened in the lawsuit. On September 16, 2014, the states of California and Florida intervened in the lawsuit, and the state of New York notified the Court that it would not intervene. On October 3, 2014, the DOJ filed an amended complaint, which did not state a specific damages amount. On October 17, 2014, California and Florida combined their claims with those of the DOJ and the relator on behalf of New York in an Omnibus Complaint, and a First Amended Omnibus Complaint was filed on October 8, 2015; the state claims also do not state specific damages amounts. It is possible that the litigation could lead to claims or findings of violations of the False Claims Act, and could be material to our results of operations and cash flows for any period. Resolution of False Claims Act investigations can ultimately result in the payment of somewhere between one and three times the actual damages proven by the government, plus civil penalties in some cases, depending upon a number of factors. Our current estimate of the low end of the range of the probable estimated loss from this matter is $25 million , which we have accrued. This amount contemplates estimated losses from both the investigation of compliance with the terms of the GSA Schedule contract as well as possible violations of the False Claims Act. There is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred in excess of our accrual for this matter, however, we are currently unable to determine the high end of the range of estimated losses resulting from this matter. EDS & NDI On January 24, 2011, a class action lawsuit was filed against us and our previous e-commerce vendor Digital River, Inc.; the lawsuit alleged violations of California’s Unfair Competition Law, the California Legal Remedies Act and unjust enrichment related to prior sales of Extended Download Service (“EDS”) and Norton Download Insurance (“NDI”). On March 31, 2014, the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota certified a class of all people who purchased these products between January 24, 2005 and March 10, 2011. In August 2015, the parties executed a settlement agreement pursuant to which we would pay the plaintiffs $30 million , which we accrued. On October 8, 2015, the Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement, which was subsequently paid into escrow by us. The Court granted final approval on April 22, 2016, and entered judgment in the case. Objectors to the settlement have appealed to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (“Eighth Circuit”), challenging the Court’s approval of the settlement, and the decision granting approval was affirmed by the Eighth Circuit on April 28, 2017. The time for the objectors to appeal the Eighth Circuit’s ruling has now expired without any appeal being filed. This matter is therefore now closed . Finjan On August 28, 2013, Finjan, Inc. (“Finjan”) filed a complaint against Blue Coat Systems, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that certain Blue Coat products infringe six of Finjan’s U.S. patents. On August 4, 2015, a jury returned a verdict that certain Blue Coat products infringe five of the Finjan patents-in-suit and awarded Finjan lump-sum damages of $40 million . On November 20, 2015, the trial court entered a judgment in favor of Finjan on the jury verdict and certain non-jury legal issues. On July 28, 2016, in its ruling on post-trial motions the trial court denied Blue Coat’s motions seeking a new trial or judgment as a matter of law and denied Finjan’s request for enhanced damages and attorneys’ fees. In August 2016, we completed our acquisition of Blue Coat. We intend to vigorously contest the judgment and have filed an appeal with the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. Our current best estimated loss and related interest with respect to the jury verdict is $40 million , which was accrued by Blue Coat and assumed by us as a part of the acquisition of Blue Coat. Other We are involved in a number of other judicial and administrative proceedings that are incidental to our business. Although adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur in one or more of the cases, it is not possible to estimate the possible loss or losses from each of these cases. The final resolution of these lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events In June 2017 and July 2017, we entered into definitive agreements to acquire Fireglass, Ltd. (“Fireglass”) and Skycure, Ltd. (“Skycure”), respectively. Both acquisitions closed in our second quarter of fiscal 2018. The consideration for the acquisitions of Fireglass and Skycure was approximately $225 million and $205 million , respectively, and primarily consisted of cash. On August 2, 2017, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our website security and related public key infrastructure products to Thoma Bravo, LLC’s portfolio company DigiCert, Inc. (“DigiCert”). We expect to receive approximately $950 million in upfront cash proceeds and approximately a 30% equity interest in the common stock of the DigiCert business. The transaction, which has been unanimously approved by our Board of Directors, is expected to be completed in our third quarter of fiscal 2018, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. We expect that effective in our second quarter of fiscal 2018, the financial results of our website security business will be presented as discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income when we meet the criteria for the website security business to be classified as held for sale on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, except as otherwise noted, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 . The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year.
Fiscal accounting year	We have a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to March 31. Unless otherwise stated, references to three month ended periods in this report relate to fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016 . The three months ended June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016 each consisted of 13 weeks. Our 2018 fiscal year consists of 52 weeks and ends on March 30, 2018 .
Recently issued authoritative guidance	Recently adopted authoritative guidance Employee Stock-Based Compensation. In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we adopted new guidance to simplify accounting for share-based payment transactions. Prior to adoption, excess tax benefits resulting from the difference between the deduction for tax purposes and the compensation costs recognized for financial reporting were not recognized until the deduction reduced taxes payable. As a result of the new guidance, we now recognize excess tax benefits in the current accounting period. In addition, we elected to continue to estimate forfeitures rather than record the forfeitures as they occur. We adopted the change in accounting method using the modified retrospective method. We also elected to retrospectively apply the change in presentation of excess tax benefits recognized on stock-based compensation expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows from financing activities to operating activities. The cumulative effect of adopting the new accounting guidance was not material. There have been no other material changes in our significant accounting policies as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2017 , as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 .
