Norton safe search, a security program from Norton offers Internet users know if the websites they’re planning to visit are safe or not. This is particularly important since there are reports almost every day of identity theft and financial assets being taken from computers due malware and ransomware downloaded from malicious websites they visited.

Norton utilizes a feedback from the community system to monitor the Web. Users can evaluate the operation of websites and if anything suspicious occurs while using these websites. In www.norton-review.com/data-room-that-helps-to-drive-force-for-business addition, site owners are able to submit their own sites to be evaluated and, if they meet certain requirements they can be awarded a Norton Secured Seal, which assures users that the website is secure and reliable.

With the Norton Safe Search extension for Google Chrome, you can get safety ratings that are displayed alongside all search results in the browser. This provides you with the best protection from identity hackers, phishing websites and online viruses. The extension is lightweight and won’t slow down your PC.

One major disadvantage is the fact that Norton’s ratings do not get displayed in the search results for images, videos or news. This is a huge oversight considering the importance of these types of results to a user’s experience when searching. It would also be nice to show Norton’s ratings in conjunction with the results from ads which are usually malware infested and scams that involve phishing. The extension is still worth a try to stay away from the risks associated with online shopping and browsing.
