Norton Protection Blog: Norton Safe Web
July 28, 2008
Today, the Norton team is launching an exciting new beta offering called Norton Safe Web, a Web site rating service that makes it easy for users to differentiate safe sites from malicious ones. Once downloaded, the beta will provide visual site ratings within everyday search results from top search sites like Google, Yahoo! and Live Search- so you can keep using your preferred search tool and don’t have to take any extra steps. Additionally, due to the nature of Web threats such as drive-by-downloads, it will also warn users before they visit a site that contains malicious content.
Our goal for Norton Safe Web is to provide users with the most up-to-date and accurate Web site ratings of any offering on the market. We can do this by leveraging the millions of members of Norton Community Watch - a "Neighborhood Watch" program that relies on the eyes and ears of the Norton user base to detect and report trouble. This trusted information helps us deliver rapid analysis and categorization of the safety and security of the Web pages you’re thinking of visiting.
