What is browser vulnerability and how can I protect myself from browser exploits?

Browser vulnerability is a security hole often found in Internet browsers including but not limited to Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari or Opera.

Security engineers and hackers around the world are working hard every day to discover and test possible security flaws in Internet browsers that can be exploited to gain control over your computer or to infect it with viruses, spyware or other harmful software.

Therefore it is vital to update your browser immediately when a security patch is made available and to use online security software that protects your browser from being exploited by booby-trapped, or fake websites.

Norton Internet Security, Norton AntiVirus and Norton 360 are providing protection against such vulnerabilities - every time a malicious code tries to find its way into your computer exploiting a browser flaw, Norton steps in to stop them even on an unpatched system.
