    "Chrome & G-mail users BEWARE!"

    March 19, 2012  |   By AishaCameron

    Pros

    I don't know yet! It got some good reviews from the techies.. but it remains to be seen how well it really works!

    Cons

    Chrome users should be aware that Norton Internet Security 2012 doesn't allow G-mail to load or stay loaded UNLESS you disable their ID safety utility and their Safe Web function & their toolbar!! They even blocked access to their OWN SITE! Right! In Chrome I couldn't access G-mail, Amazon, OR the Norton site after installing the program! Until I disabled all those little extras.. AND when I called Support, they told me various things such as "the problem is with Google" "oh, well, you can't open two web mail account inboxes at once" (I couldn't open even one after installing Norton!) Then I was told "Since the latest update (which I had just done) Norton will only work with IE!" ALL OF THAT WAS NONSENSE! Everything worked once I disabled all those extras! I still have Norton IS installed and so far all is well since disabling the extras.. it remains to be seen how well this program really works! Also: Couldn't adjust the FIREWALL settings!!
