Doesn't work as intended
The toolbar icon doesn't update unless clicked, and it doesn't show the safety rating or "check marks", nex to websites in google searches. Not sure if that last part is something specific to Windows/Chrome, but regardless, it's non-existent on Safari.. If everything worked as I am accustomed to on my PC, then this would be an easy 5 stars.
United StatesOMG! What happened to Norton?
After more than four hours with Norton's tech support staff and three attempts to take over my Mac while they puttered around, they finaly figured out I couldn't run WebSafePLUS, I had to run WebSafe (only) because their software doesn't support Monterey. And I still don't know if I have the protection I'm paying for. There's no way to tell. Four hours. Fools.
United StatesSafe Web icon doesn't update in Safari
As I have seen other users report: the Safe Web icon for Safari on Mac usually doesn't update. Sometimes when I click the icon several times it updates. Many times I have to refresh the page to get it to update. Also the "Untested" icon is the same color as the checked "safe" icon. The only thing different is there is a "?" instead of a checkmark. So it makes it hard to notice. I notice it works on Firefox on Mac. But I want to use Safari on my Mac.
United Statesworst app ever
norton is the worst app ever, it just never works, it inferes with everything, customer service is practically inexistent, bunch of non english speaking idiots!!! norton is a scam and you will regret if you pay them a dime, real scammers .
United StatesSafe Web Icon does not update in Toolbar
The Safe Web Icon in the toolbar does not always update when you navigate to another link. This happens approximately 50% of the time. If you click on the icon, then it updates. This would be a 5-star extension if it just worked consistently. Even when you launch Safari, the icon is never updated until you click on the icon. My start-up page is Google. My OS is Big Sur and I'm also running the latest version of the Norton extension.
United StatesConstantly problematic
As others have mentioned, Norton is buggy as frack. Constantly asks me to register, even after I did so a year ago. It has me continually reinstalling and re-"protecting" my system, even when nothing has changed. Can't update now after installing OS11.1--it keeps saying update, then close Safari, then update, then it shows it hasn't finished, and the process begins again. I assume I'm protected with the parts that do work, but I really can't be sure. I'll seriously reconsider which app to use when my subscription ends this time.
United StatesThe worst
The worst ideal I had for to use for protection. Or you could put on your Macs especially if your running Catalina. Norton Safe Web and or Norton Security both do more harm then good. I had it running on my iMac. Only to learn after the fact. After 3 days then I had to go into the Disk Utility just to get it Norton uninstalled and off my iMac. So buyer beware .. Be careful with Norton. And your Macs.
