Norton 360 Support - What is Browser Protection?

Explaining Norton Browser Protection

As you visit Web sites at large, you are at danger of Web-based browser attacks. Nowadays, crackers find new flaws and vulnerabilities in popular browsers every day - patches, and browser security updates aren't catching up with the growing number of threats.

This is why it's so important to have a proactive browser protection tool in place, that can detect infected websites and stop any malicious code before it is executed by your browser.

Many websites contain malicious code designed to exploit browser vulnerabilities in order to hijack passwords or even gain total control over your computer.

When you turn on Browser Protection included in Norton 360, all malicious programmes and websites will be blocked instantaneously before they can actually infect your system. Even if your browser has exploitable flaws, the malware won't be able to launch a successful attack.

Norton 360 informs you about your Browser Protection status. Make sure to have this feature enabled at all times to avoid being hacked.
