Wow Symantec free software
That's a first? XD

 

thanks for the info

question-
says "works with Google, Yahoo, Bing" but here is the screenshot from the site

 

That's just their built-in Safe Search which displays only green results when you search.

 

Wow,

As soon as the Dutch parlement discusses to NOT extend our troops support to Afganistan, we are banned, and I am not even going to vote for Wilders , so why me

 

I have the same message so the UK is also a restricted country!

 

They are afraid that Bin Laden could use this "important" Safeweb tool

 

Just chatted with a Norton technicial . They confirmed that the issue happens even on their end (they are in Asia) .

The support agent promised to escalate the issue to someone senior.

 

What's with the ask.com association though?

 

This should reveal the secret

lol norton releasing something free ther must be a catch...

 

They're releasing this part of their suite to advertise for it.

 

I just ran it on an infested machine and all it found was 17 tracking cookies. No thanks.

 

I'm pretty sure this is to block and warn on websites, not work as a full-blown suite at all...

 

Oh crap, I thought we were talking about Norton's Free Security Scan.
Ignore me please.

 

So you say that the Security scan which uses the Reputation system has not marked malicious files with Poor ot Bad reputation ?

 

What? Their Security Scan-app. uses those technologies now!?

 

What's wrong with "those technologies" ?

 

Not wrong, impressive if they work as good as in the full suite.
