Clicking on URL's which leave Norton/Symantec

Hi,

 

I have noticed something I think should be looked into as it seems to somewhat violate the normal security warnings.

 

When someone posts a URL which would take you outside the Norton or Symantec sites you get a warning that you are about to leave Norton and Symantec domains. This helps the user make an informed decision as to whether to continue to the destination URL.

 

However, if you do a Ctrl + click on this same URL you get no warning and continue direct to the destination URL.

 

This should work the same way it does if you simply click on the URL (without the Ctrl key).

 

Test with this simple URL to Microsoft's support web site: http://support.microsoft.com/. Test by first just clicking the URL then by doing a Ctrl + click.
