Norton safe search, a security software from Norton board software for business events offers Internet users know if sites they’re going to visit are safe or not. This is vital because there are reports virtually every day of identity theft and financial assets being taken from computers due to malware and ransomware downloaded from ad-ware websites they visited.
Norton uses a community feedback system to examine the Web. Users can assess the way websites function and if something suspicious happens on these sites. In addition, site owners can submit their own websites for review and if they meet certain standards they can be awarded the Norton Secured Seal, which ensures that users know that the site is secure and reliable.
With the Norton Safe Search extension for Google Chrome, you can get safety ratings that are displayed next to all results of your search in the browser. This gives you maximum protection against identity thieves, phishing sites and online viruses. The extension is light and does not slow down your computer.
But, the biggest drawback is that Norton’s score is not displayed in the results for image, video and news searches. This is a pity considering the importance of these types of results to a user’s search experience. It would be even better if Norton’s ratings were shown in conjunction with the results from ads which are often maliciously infected and scams involving phishing. Nonetheless it is worth a try to avoid the dangers of shopping and browsing on the Internet.
