Norton Toolbar for 64-bit browsers

Is there or when will there be a Norton toolbar for 64-bit browsers?

Hi,

 

As of now NO, we support only 32-bit versions of IE, Firefox and Chrome.

We are yet add support for 64-bit browsers. When the usage bandwidth increases for 64-bit browsers and when the need arises we will decide something about this.

Sorry, but that answer just smacks of coprorate laziness.

 

I have been using 64-bit Windows and 64-bit browsers for a long time.

 

I doubt I will be renewing my NIS when it expires.

 

I will just use the 64-bit native version of MS Security Essentials.

 

Hi Yoda,

 

Norton works perfectly well on 64-bit operating systems.  It's browser add-ons only work on 32-bit browsers, and currently Microsoft itself recommends using the 32-bit IE (the default) rather than the slower 64-bit version. 

 

Of course, Microsoft Security Essentials does not include anything comparable to the Norton IPS add-on, or the Safe Web and Identity Safe components of the Norton Toolbar, in either 64-bit or 32-bit versions.

I am using NIS 2012 on 64-bit windows.

 

Safe Web - I use Web of Trust (free) instead on Waterfox x64.

Identity Safe - I use Keapass (free) as it has far better functionality.

IPS addon - might be a bit harder to replace. Haven't looked into that yet.
