Facebook Scan

How do I get the Facebook Scan Tab to appear underneath the Reputation Tab In NIS2011 {Dutch}

I already read the information below, but this was  a message from April (Beta release)

http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Facebook-Scan/m-p/225128#M602

  

Now the product is released *complete version* retail & Download:

 

Is this option still not presented for the Dutch version ?

Is there a release date; when this option is also available for Europe ?

Because on the Dutch website from symantec, and you click on NIS 2011, you can read:
beschermt u en uw vrienden op Facebook® tegen gevaarlijke websites, cybercriminelen en andere online bedreigingen.

 

Translated to English:
Protec you and your friends on Facebook® against dangerous websites, cybercrime and other online activity's

Re: Facebook Scan

HI Meater,

 

Welcome to the Norton Community.

 

Unfortunately I am not aware of any change regarding the availability of the facebook scan. I will attempt to double check with Symantec and see if there is anything new I can report on.

 

Best wishes.

Re: Facebook Scan

FYI, Facebook Scan is an app (like Farmville/Mafia Wars, etc) on Facebook.  It does not require a valid subscription or a Norton program present: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=310877173418

Re: Facebook Scan

Hi Tywin7,

 

I'm not sure how this ties in with the post from a Symantec employee showing that currently this option is only available in the English version.

Perhaps this just relates to the direct tie in from within the NIS application. I'm waiting for clarification from Symantec.

 

Best wishes.

Re: Facebook Scan

[ Edited ]

I think I'm contradicting the Symantec employee's statement.  Cause I was using the NSW app on Facebook WITHOUT the installation of NIS11 beta (Both NSW and Norton Safe Web was in beta at that time).  Later, I noted that NSW on Facebook went out of beta and included new features such as autoscan links.  I still didn't install the then already released NIS11 yet.  I think NSW Facebook is independent of the software and there is no way they can detect whats on your computer cause it didn't install any addon.

 

Edit: I was able to run NSW facebook from a library (McAfee) and my Sony Ericsson K800i cellphone (Java based OS). 

 

The NSW app on facebook is like any other game there.  I'm sure you all know mafia wars, Farmville, Fishville, Vampire Wars, etc.

Hi Tywin7,

 

Understood, which is the more reason it needs to be clarified.

 

Best wishes.

Tywin7,

 

No response as of yet.

 

Mo, if you have the English/US version click on Scan Now then Scan Facebook Wall.

 

Best wishes.

Re: Facebook Scan Symantec employee please respond

I meant is that the app can be used on facebook even though you don't have nis11 or other Symantec product. This contradicts the Symantec employee's statement.
