Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus

[habib2005]

I am using opera browser as my default browser and when i saw the settings for browser protection i discovered that it does not support opera .

so is opera safe to be used with Norton AV ?  

and what if a malicious Web sites opened in opera what will happen ?

thanks for your support.

You are safe to use Norton AntiVirus 2009 with Opera, but...

• You will not have some of the browser protection features. You may not need those, though, since the attacks generally aren't targeted against Opera.
• You will not get the anti-fraud/anti-phishing features

Malicious sites opened in Opera that try to deliver or drop malware will still be detected.

Additionally, it's 3 or 4 of its own Anti-Phishing/Anti-Malware engines which are or will be supporting community based contribution. That includes providers like Phishtank and Haute Secure.

for anti-phishing I am using opendns which supply agreat anti-phishing protection .

but the question what about sites that may drop viruses in opera cach and excute malcious codes ?

NIS should detect them but if you want good browser portection then Sandbox your browser.
