Norton Internet Security delivers fast and light online threat protection. It guards your PC, network, online activities, and your identity with innovative detection technologies optimized to combat today’s aggressive, rapid-fire attacks. Norton Internet Security makes online shopping, banking, and browsing safer and more convenient than ever.

The improved Norton Protection System features multi-layered security technologies. They work together to provide the comprehensive protection that detects and removes network security threats before they can harm your PC. The Norton Protection System stops online identity theft, viruses, hackers, bots, spyware, Trojan horses, and more without slowing you down or getting in your way.

When you install Norton Internet Security, it adds the Norton Toolbar to Internet Explorer and Firefox. Norton Internet Security protects your Internet Explorer browser and Firefox browser when you turn on the Safe Surfing option.

When Safe Surfing is turned on, Norton Internet Security enables the Antiphishing feature and the Norton Safe Web feature. Antiphishing analyzes the security levels of the Web sites you visit and displays the results in the Norton Site Safety pop-up. The Norton Safe Web feature provides you a safe Web search environment by displaying the site-rating icons next to every search result.

On rare occasions, Antiphishing may report an evaluation of a Web page that you suspect to be in error. For example, you might visit a site that you shop with regularly and Antiphishing says that the page is fraudulent. On the contrary, you might visit a Web page that you suspect is a phishing page, but Antiphishing reports that no fraud was detected. In either case, you can report the page to Symantec for further evaluation.

Antiphishing protects you from visiting unsafe Web sites. When Antiphishing is turned on, the Antiphishing component analyzes the security level of the Web sites that you visit. It then displays the results in the Norton Site Safety pop-up.

Antiphishing provides you the following information about the Web pages:

The Site Safety bar in Internet Explorer and Firefox lets you view more details about the status of the Web page.
