Norton Safe Web Beta Debuts

(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Symantec, makers of Norton security software, announced the
availability of Norton Safe Web beta, a Web site rating service with
the purpose of making the Internet a safer place, whether shopping,
watching video, downloading music or just surfing the Web.

Leveraging the power of Norton Safe Web beta, Symantec said users can
differentiate safe Web sites from malicious ones by observing the
visual site ratings delivered within everyday search results from top
sites like Google, Yahoo! and Live Search. Additionally, due to the
nature of security threats on the Internet, Norton Safe Web will 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," said Rowan Trollope, Senior Vice President of Consumer
Products. "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, precise analysis of
the safety and security of Web sites."
