I would like to start a campaign to get the upper level management of Symantec to make the Norton toolbar available for 64 bit web browsers. It seems that this will only happen if they see how many customers use these browsers therefore making it profitable. If you would like to have the Norton Toolbar and Identity Safe available for your 64 bit browser please leave a comment.

Add me to the list.
I use Waterfox 64-bit as my default browser.
A native 64-bit version of Opera became available a couple of weeks ago too.
In Windows 8, if I do use IE10, I have it set to 64-bit mode.

@jerryb150 - Kudos for starting this topic/ discussion.
The lack of 64bit support is driving me nuts! So much so in fact, that I uninstalled NIS.
I am running Win 7 x64 and just about every single programme/ application I use is available in 64bit too. And by that I mean a native version, not merely compatible.
I have now switched to a well-known password manager that supports IE 64bit. All my security software is now native 64bit too.
64bit OS's has been around for a few years now, yet there is only a handful of security vendors that actually take it seriously. IMHO, anyway. I guess it is all about money at the end of the day?
I really hope that Norton will give us a native 64bit security suite someday soon. Using 64bit browsers without Identity Safe is no good to me. I rely heavily on a password manager, hence the change of security providers.
When/ if the day comes of a native 64bit Norton product, I will surely return.

Norton Toolbar is available in Windows 8 for IE10 64-bit browsers. But win8-usa RTM is NOT win8-europe SDK, and that's a whole other ball of wax. Now, Microsoft and Symantec are both never public about their engineer's E.T.A for anything, BUT... the 64-bit IE10 for Windows 7 is out in Region 3, even if it fails favorites etc-etc-etc for now. I have seen in forum that Europeans are already there, but then, Europe (Region 1) is flying high with trouble-free FULL SDK Windows 8, while Americas (Region 3) is floundering along with a very buggy UPGRADE RTM Windows 8. USA's armed and imperial, 'we are the best' colonial brain-wipe aside, maybe we American-in-the-blood peoples are right with the attitude of wait-and-see for a stable IE10 Norton Toolbar for Windows 7... and we can see what happens then.
burb (but you really better know), my last words with a Region 3 Micrososft engineer put the hooks for Win7 IE9 64-bit NTB at "probably some time late February, early March". Given imperial economic decline on top of the ambitions of the perturbed 90% of the rest of humanity, who among us in the Americas expects anything other than the very usual wait and crash, or non-sdk approach? Well, brain-wipe aside, at least our engineers are doing their best, and enough-so to give it the time it needs. I'm all for cheers of enthusiasm. Butl let's get REAL, folks. We live in a colonial grunt camp, and Norton Toolbar for IE9 32-bit works "fine", Thank You! July 2013?
Um... this cyberspace transmission originates in IE9 64-bit ...without any NTB biz. lol. (and i'm an eternal "Newbie")
