My new computer came with Norton Internet Security 2011, which comes with Norton Safe Web. I installed Firefox 4, which is showing a Norton toolbar, and now I'm seeing Norton ratings on each page I visit, featuring a green "OK" icon. They embed these within Google search result pages too.
I can't seem to find anything on the web about how this is being done. I guessing that my browser is sending all of my page requests to Norton, so they can add everything about my browsing to their database which they cross reference to my subscription info?
Can anyone confirm, deny, or expand upon this?
+1 for "I recommend you uninstall Norton". Oh, and I guess the rest of the post is good too :) – Shinrai – 2011-05-17T14:35:22.340
