Norton Toolbar

How To Use The Norton Toolbar

Users can stay safe while online by using the Norton Toolbar. The toolbar helps users by protecting users from identity theft. With the toolbar installed, users never have to worry about losing passwords, trying to find credit card information, repeatedly filling out forms or fearing the consequences of storing personal information.

 

Norton securely stores all user information that the user chooses and encrypts it to prevent identity theft. It also blocks fake websites so the user isn't tricked into entering their personal information. By storing information, users are able to fill out forms quickly and even enter credit card information without looking for the card itself.

 

Getting Started

After downloading and installing the toolbar, the first step is to create a profile. This is where the user enters form data, passwords, credit card information and other personal information regularly used online. The profile can be accessed at any time by selecting the “Norton” menu on the toolbar and choosing “Settings.” All stored data is encrypted in a secure online vault.

 

Find Safe Sites

When the Norton Toolbar is running, the user is able to quickly tell if a site is safe, unsafe or verified. Users can determine this by viewing the site and looking for the Site Safety State icon on the toolbar. A green check mark means the site is safe. A yellow exclamation point means the site may or may not be safe. A red X means the site is unsafe. These icons also appear during search results to prevent the user from ever opening unsafe sites.

 

Save Login Information

When a user visits a new site, they can save their user information by simply entering it. Norton saves this information automatically. Users can also auto-fill this information by just visiting the necessary site. All data can be further protected by requiring a master password before storing or auto-filling login data.

 

Fill Out Forms Quickly

The “Cards & Log-ins” menu on the toolbar allows users to create identity cards which contain all the information to fill out forms online. Users can create different cards for various sites or types of sites. Users can also choose whether or not to auto-fill on a website or manually enter the information.

 

Store Other Information

For information not listed in other sections in the Profile area, users can create notes. Go to the “Norton” menu and select “Manage Notes.” This allows users to store other personal information such as social security numbers, passport details and anything else the user wants to manage.

 

Use Information On The Go

Users can store their identity safe information on a USB drive. Go to the “Norton” menu and select “Settings.” Select “Configure” next to the option “Export Identity Safe Data To Portable Profile.” Follow the prompts to store the profile. The USB drive can be used on any computer with Norton 360 installed.
