Norton Vulnerability Protection 12.0.5.3 - What Exactly Does it Do?

While browsing this site today, I was prompted to manage my add-ons on Firebox 26.0 Among my add-ons is Norton Vulnerability Protection 12.0.5.3. Though I had seen the name, other than the intuitive title, I really was not certain what this add-on did. So the three searches I did on Norton.com revealed the following - "No results found for Norton Vulnerability Protection 12.0.5.3"

 

Where do you suppose a detailed description of this add-on would be located? Either it is a Norton add-on or cleverly disguised malware. The point of my post, for those of you that haven't read realized my sarcasm, why doesn't a search of Norton.com provide a result for one of their own products?

Hi,

Did you try doing the search without the version number attached?

Thanks
