Thanks but no thanks. Yesterday I told you I prefer Norton/Kaspersky/Avast, but I will never try Norton again after coming across some appalling news.

Symantec have been slammed by the Android community for faking a news about a possible malware risk. In reality the so-called malware was just a form of aggressive-ads.
People all over,criticized Symantec's technique as "Scaring the people to buy their products."

Hmm bad news.
why does norton want to go downhill. Symantec was one of the companies which had a great recovery. But yet its user choice.

Thanks for the report.

Remember its beta

Mistake on the part of Softpedia. Firefox is supported. Direct page @ Symantec HERE

I'm familiar with this since it's included in Norton IS & Norton 360 (a friend runs Norton IS). Does a good job of handling website logins.

Does require you to install the Norton Toolbar for it to function in FF (no idea about IE or Chrome).

I imagine the beta part is it functioning as a stand-alone.

Bill Mullins blogged about this offering today HERE

Suddenly why the computer security companies taking interest on password managers??? First it was Kaspersky with its Kaspersky password manager, then it was Avast with its EasyPass and now its Norton. My suggestion to them would be to stick to what you are best at :lol:

Actually, Identity Safe was part of Norton IS 2010.

FYI, Ghacks also wrote about this HERE

Thanks for the share jelson
