Turning off and turning on Browser Protection
You can choose whether you want to protect your Web
browser by allowing Norton 360 to block unknown
programs from accessing your computer.
By default, the Browser Protection option is turned
on. In this case, Norton 360 proactively blocks new or
unknown malware programs before they attack your
computer. By protecting your Web browser, Norton
360 secures your sensitive information and prevents
the attackers from controlling your system remotely.
This feature checks for browser vulnerabilities in
Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, Chrome 10.0 or later, or
Firefox 3.6 or later browsers.
