Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus

1. Research indicates FF5 is not officially beyond Beta 7 or RC status, as of this posting.

2. For an eye-opener that will interest all, including all involved with Symantec/Norton, do an internet search on the words "Microsoft WebGL"...to read what Microsoft now thinks are security issues with WebGL graphics technology, and which some reports say has been supported by Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

Hi 1mcrtd,

The Microsoft blog on WebGL stimulated a few news articles this week, even though the problem was actually posted last month by Context Information Security.  I certainly missed it at the time.  It is a very serious-sounding issue and I took the advice of US-CERT and many others and disabled WebGL in Firefox a couple of evenings ago.  For anyone interested, here are instructions on how to disable WebGL in Firefox and Chrome:

Dude! it came out 18 hours ago and it ISN'T final.

[SlamDunkley]

Not really. because the Norton toolbar isn't working

[Bombastus]

It is final.

Don't expect compatibility the moment it's available on the official site though.

It is final, dude, but the toolbar is not compatible. Firefox is now using the Chrome strategy for often updating (they are going to compete with huge vendors in their words) so Norton Toolbar will be incompatible most of the time. However Norton 2012 will support Google Chrome and you can safely switch to it.

Norton 2012 is in public beta, not released yet. It is strongly recommended not to use beta versions on the machine you rely upon. Beta versions are expected to have problems .......
