Everyone knows that the Internet is huge, there are many online threats like viruses, phishing, and spyware, and there's a lot of unsavoury Web sites out there—Web sites that will try to deceive you, steal your credit card numbers or passwords, or even crash your computer. By the time you visit a Web site it's usually too late. The damage has been done, you've been had. So, how can you find out if a Web site is a safety risk before you visit it?

Norton Safe Web is a new reputation service from Symantec. Symantec's servers analyze Web sites to see how they will affect you and your computer. Then, using the Norton Toolbar installed on your PC, they will let you know how safe a particular Web site might be before you view it. If you need to find out more about how a Web site might behave, they provide more detailed information right here on the Norton Safe Web.

Norton Safe Web can be found at http://safeweb.norton.com.
