This is a rip-off company. Had an agent address me as dear $#*! when I asked why pink was disconnected. The service sucked as I cancelled 30 days later. Several better company's that have much better customer service and quality of product. Norton has been left behind by their rude agents.
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.
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!
I have multiple websites this useless feature rated as dangerous. All those websites 100% clean and secure. Every other expert tools verifies correctly. Most funniest one is one of the we page which has blank index. Html also rated as "known dangerous website"
I have disputed all these wrong rating more than 10 times in last 1 year. Nothing has changed. So this is definitely useless wrong tool to use.
Scans sites, flags them as 'unsafe' even though Google etc. does the same and says they are safe! Register the site with Norton and click on their report and it says there are no issues but it still shows as Unsafe... talk about Fake News! NOT IMPRESSED!
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'.
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.
Norton Safe Web Plus is an annoyance which pops up and asks to be installed every time my Mac boots. When I installed it, it blocked all internet access. I had to boot into Safe Mode and uninstall ALL Symantec files to get my computer to work again. Do not let this program install on your Mac. Terrible.
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.
I had my computer insurances with Norton, had to get them blocked by my credit card company, when I wanted to finish my contract with them, couldn't get in contact with them, no phone number, no email. Stay away from them.
