Ask.com turns to Symantec to secure more traffic

Quote:
SAN FRANCISCO - Ask.com is counting on people's fear of online mischief to bring more traffic to its Internet search engine.


To give Web surfers greater peace of mind, Ask has forged a deal that will plant its search engine on Norton security software made by Symantec Corp. The latest test version of Norton 360 will rate the security threat posed by sites found through searches done through the new toolbar.


Financial details about the two-year deal aren't being disclosed.

Anyone who uses Norton should be ashamed!
