Symantec to Support Ask.com

Internet goers can feel a little bit more secure while browsing on ask.com. Made by Symantec Corp., Ask worked out a deal with Norton security software to make the search engine increase in safety. Since the deal, Ask was in fourth place in the United States search engine market through December. Although Google and Yahoo trampled Ask in the percent of share department, Ask is confident that Norton will boost their popularity. Ask has been struggling with its security, making its searchers unaware of potential dangerous websites. Norton's rival, McAfee Inc., teammed up with Yahoo last year to do what Ask couldn't do with its search security. If Norton will be reliable to the underdog search engine, the ratings will certainly increase for ask.comSource: http://www.fosters.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090215/GJLIFESTYLES/902129897/-1/SANNEWS
