1. Then, why my attempt to open https:// pandasecurity.mystart.com /?pr=vmn&id=pandasecuritytb&v=4_3&utm_campaign=675&idate=2016-06-09&ent=hp_675&u=9C104AC03FD52A851DCD525759301ED6 using Firefox did not work?
(Seems that the link for "detailed report" ( https://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpandasecurity.mystart.com%2F%3Fpr%3Dvmn%26id%3Dpandasecuritytb%26v%3D4_3%26utm_campaign%3D675%26idate%3D2016-06-09%26ent%3Dhp_675%26u%3D9C104AC03FD52A851DCD525759301ED6 ) has been removed. One needs to manually scan https://pandasecurity .mystart .com/ to get this report@ https://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpandasecurity.mystart.com%2F )
2. Tested (tried to download sth from brothersoft com) the two bars under IE 11, got the following image:
Met another FAKE Java Update pop-up from quercetindguoclnjk889.xyz; and that "889" LP can generate different affiliate member, such as the aforementioned DriverUpdate (aka, so-called "ad by driverupdate dot net")
3. Needless to say, hitting the Yes button will trigger the install of and SlimCleaner; as for DriverUpdate-setup.exe, see this VT report and the following File Insight.
4. "Powered by Ask" !!! Wow, I was shocked by this nortonsafe. search ask.com - Sorry, but I do not like that Ask bar and all the other variants at all!
Least but not last, Norton Web Team can take a closer look at Brothersoft com, and help protect the user from those risky pop-ups.
One more thing, the user cannot direct access http:// quercetindguoclnjk889.xyz /94/j6gy/416/pqmg9at/3471. See the following pic:

Yeah, D.U got an "Excellent" rating in 2011. BUT, there were lots of changes that happen in the past few years.

20750065: WHY NS gave Slimware's DriverUpdate a good rating? (UPD)
DriverUpdate has been found to be bundled with 3rd party software. Maybe, user purposefully installs DriverUpdate. Maybe, user accepts Slimware Privacy Policy and EULA. Norton (bundleware) criteria may not satisfy all users, all the time. (UPD)
1. One still needs to make extra effort to FULLY remove Panda 'Security' Toolbar (v4.3.1.15):
2. Will the uninstall of NS be able to remove nortonsafe. search ask .com?
So far, the answer to the question above is: Yes.
PS: Uninstall 101
An uninstaller, also called a deinstaller, is a variety of utility software designed to remove other software or parts of it from a computer. It is the opposite of an installer. Uninstallers are useful primarily when software components are installed In multiple directories, or where some software components might be shared between the system being uninstalled and other systems that remain in use.
Uninstall was invented by Jack Bicer. While he was working on Norton Desktop for Windows at Symantec, Bicer came up with the Uninstall concept and developed the first Uninstall program in 1991.
