Norton Identity Safe is an application developed by Symantec’s team primarily known for developing popular antivirus solutions to share data between multiple workstations while protecting it against threats. It contains various functions essential for safe navigation on the web such as password managers or anti-phishing filters to provide secure navigation experience online. The program was specifically created as part of their Antivirus Solution Suites offering.
Operating Identity Safe can initially be complex. As its application connects directly with web browsers, its operation involves seeing a small toolbar within them on which individual functions can be executed. Furthermore, to use Identity Safe it requires creating an account on its manufacturer website prior to or during installation – an account should also be set up before starting installation itself.
As soon as a website opens, it is wise to first glance at its Safe Web bar. It displays basic site details and changes if invalid content is identified on that particular website. Identification occurs automatically upon visiting each new page you access; clicking an icon allows for detailed report with identification for viruses, worms, Trojan horses suspicious links backdoors adware remote access attempts background downloads community ratings/comments plus screenshot. Furthermore the program assists search results providing icons indicating safety concerns of pages within search results results – helping ensure visitors select safe websites while searching on search results pages!
Identification data storage (mainly username/password pairs). Frequented websites requiring login can now be easily accessed from any computer with network access – simply install and login into Norton account on all PCs in network. Not only is this feature increasing both security and freedom when surfing the web but it saves both time and effort – further options such as note storage, database import/export functionality as well as cooperation with popular social networks are also provided for.
