Norton has innovated another area where competitors have not done (or have they?). It is the Norton DNS Beta. An innovative way to protect your devices from malicious sites or links.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is really a simple concept but I think Symantec has scored a first to implement them. What it can do is that it provides a faster and more reliable web browsing with basic security without you installing a client (aka software) on your computer or devices.<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/h3>\n

DNS (Domain Name Service) is like a phonebook. Each time your computer visits a web site, it needs to get the IP address of the site \u2013 computers only connect to IP addresses, not human-friendly names. When Norton DNS is used, it delivers these IP addresses very fast, plus it does a quick check on each site to make sure that it isn’t bad. If it is, you are protected from the site but you will get detailed information on why we think that the site is bad. This information comes from our Safe Web database. You can search any site at safeweb.norton.com. Norton Safe Web processes billions of requests each day to deliver ratings for users when they are searching on the Internet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are 3 methods to setup this Norton DNS.<\/p>\n

Method 1<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

First way (easiest way) is to download the client to automatically configure your DNS with Norton DNS settings to your computers.<\/p>\n
