Norton Safe WebReviews 34

This software is atrocious. First, it fills your computer with junk to try and force you to buy additional products, which are very expensive. My computer actually got a malware that Norton could not remove, but Windows Defender offline scan did.

This product is ultimately useless and it ruined this laptop. By the time my "Subscription" ends...(ugh...be sure and cancel that or don't buy at all)...I will need another computer and I will never download and pay for this useless garbage that probably PUTS viruses on your computer, again.

AND>>>>>> I DONT CARE IF MY INFORMATION IS ON SOME DARK WEB OR INTERNET SOMETHING...ISN'T EVERYONE'S NOW...? YES, IT IS...

NO WAY does this clinic have an unsafe site, so I turned OFF Norton "safe search!" I had MANY health problems to research and I NEVER got many answers with NORTON "safe search!" Just about EVERY LEGIT SITE determined to be "unsafe" by NORTON, I did not enter! I missed ALL the INFORMATION from bona fide sites that were CONDEMNED by using "NORTON's safe search," which indicated that LEGITIMATE sites I tried to search were DEEMED "unsafe" according to "NORTON." I HATE NORTON and am cancelling them completely! MY LIFE DEPENDED on INFORMATION that I NEEDED to make CRITICAL DECISIONS about MY HEALTH CARE (BEYOND "hungry-for-money surgeons"!) DO NOT TRUST NORTON! You will NEVER GET complete, accurate answers to YOUR RESEARCH when using Norton's safe search! I THINK this is CLOSE to a CRIME by Norton! But, I could be wrong...

Norton denied my review and my doctor's office is unsafe. I am so glad I cancelled my subscription effective this November. Avoid Norton.

To start, the search is far too slow. Loading pages is far too slow as well. The platform does not have nearly as many features as other search engines, e.g. maps. It displays warnings and blocks me trying to access webpages that I frequent often and know that are safe. There are literally dozens of ads before you see any search engine results. It stores search results and page visits and then bombards you with ads from these pages or to but the same product that you have already purchased. It has put me off being a Norton 360 Customer.

I've gotten a number of warnings that the pages I was trying to visit were a "known dangerous webpage". All the pages that I got this warning on are either companies I trust and have done business with, or links supplied by those companies (e.g. To surveys). I have a hard time believing this many legitimate businesses somehow have malware or are doing business with companies that have malware, plus none of my other malware detection software ever identifies a threat with them. So I decided to see how many complaints there are of Norton false positives - as it turns out, A LOT. Not just a lot of false positives, but a lot of people complaining about how hard it is for them, once their company has been tagged by Norton, to get any kind of response to get untagged. Seems like not only are these pages not actually "known" (only "suspected", and wrongly suspected, at that) to be "dangerous", but Norton is screwing with legitimate businesses by scaring away their customers (albeit probably out of incompetence rather than malice.)

Disabled this after a couple of weeks. Drove me mad that when you searched you got a load of adverts first, even for things which are not tradeable! And were results from the USA even though I had set my territory as UK. I only downloaded as my broadband providers BT now use them as your "free" internet security. Avoid!

Randomly decides that sites rated otherwise safe (eg by Google), I contacted Norton as I could not find an option to add sites to an exclusion list to be advised by Norton customer service that there is no exclusion list and the ONLY solution is to remove safeweb from the browser.

Also the "continue to site" link would not work, Norton customer service only response to that was 'you shouldn't be visiting these sites'.

Norton is the only security service blocking my website and even though i went over the long and exhausting process of cleaning everything they listed for cleaning, installing Norton file in the root of my webpage, installing the security certificate and waiting for a few weeks for the verification, without any feedback from Norton, it is still reporting that the website is not safe and scaring 1 of my visitors that is using Norton security.
It looks like a sadistic joke, creating an issue with absolutely no reason. My website is a architecture portfolio website built with WordPress template and it carries no threat what so ever for nobody.

Four days ago, my website was blacklisted although rated safe by google and all other web safety services. Blog is hosted on website and verified safe. Cannot add code. Have contacted customer service 3 times and written to CEO and President. No response, no action. They are "working on it." Meanwhile, I've started getting questions from people trying to access site. Makes no difference that I have been 25 year customer. Appalling.

They concocted this 'Safe Web' gimmick with the blessing of Google to force people to join them or else they will not put their green symbol on your website. This is just an angle to make more money by forced memberships. It is the most discriminatory stuff I have seen on the internet and Google allows it! I bet Google isn't letting Norton do this for free. If you are discriminated against by this 'safe web' scam, which is costing you 'clicks' on your website, you can do this. Write to your senators and congressman about getting a law to the effect that, 'No person or company shall place a marker on another person or company website, and any marker on there now shall be removed'.
