Norton 360 Support - Identity Protection Settings

Norton 360 uses advanced online identity theft protection to help safeguard you against identity thieves attempting to trick you into divulging private information.

Those criminals often use fake websites that may be disguised as genuine online retailer sites or online banking sites. Such websites are used to steal login and password information.

Norton 360, however, combines antiphishing technology, Norton Safe Web, and Identity Safe to help you keep your online experience as secure as possible. The programme includes Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer protection, informing you about the threat every time you visit a dubious website.

The anti-phishing feature informs you if it is safe to enter confidential information, and whether the website is identified as fraudulent or if it is approved by Symantec.

Norton Safe Web on the other hand, informs you about malicious programmes that are contained in a website before you actually visit it. When you search for websites on Google, Norton Safe Web displays the site security rating alongside every search result. Based on this security report you may decide to either enter the site or leave.

The third protection measure - Identity Safe - protects your logins and passwords. Using Identity Safe you can track all of your logins, use multiple identities on a single website and automatically fill in forms needed to complete transactions or authentication.
