It will miss certain websites that are malicious,because the way Norton works is that it needs to know where the file came from!
It's web filter is not the best,but the other components are top notch>>Sonar etc!!

Go to hxxp://malc0de.com/database/
Try a few links, in a VM offcourse, and although it may not flag a particular site as malicious, if a malicious file is downloaded it will catch it!You will have a hard time infecting your pc with Norton!

I have thrown everything at it including executing known malware, and it blocked/removed everything!

PS: Set all settings to Agressive;)

Yes i did that one also and as yours did it caught four but i did not execute them so i think i may be ok then. I always use Shadow Defender when testing. ;)

Thanks for the advice. :D

Iam using google chrome

do u have any plugin in SlimJet or CyberFox for Norton ?
If you do not want or do not want to use or do not want to be annoyed by Install prompts. Install Toolbar > cycle browser > Disable > cycle.
Norton Security wants you to know Norton is proud of their Toolbar. So, satisfy Norton. Then do what you want.
