Google chrome and Norton

nobby24

I've just downloaded Google Chrome and noticed that it doesn't have the Norton 'ticks' against websites. I checked my Norton settings and it only covers IE and Firefox browsers. Does this mean that my Google Chrome browser is insecure?

no , just means Nortons have been slow in updating their product ( not like Chrome has not been around for ages !!)

Dont put your entire faith in Norton anyways, there are probably thousands of infection 'scripts' built into websites that Norton doesnt know about and so if you visited those websites you may well get infected anyways

If you want insecure, just use IE :rotfl:

Norton doesn't support Chrome - only IE and Firefox

For a long time Chrome didn't allow extensions, so Norton couldn't actually add a toolbar to the browser. From what I've heard, that has now changed, but it will likely be the 2011 version before any toolbar will be considered. As far as I'm aware, no internet security package currently supports Chrome in this manner.

Nothing wrong with Norton. I just got a new computer and installed kaspersky on it and hated it so much that I've uninstalled it again! I like the Norton toolbar - it makes me "feel" secure. Kaspersky's toolbar was virtually non-existent and did nothing to make me think it actually worked.
