Today we’re sharing the exciting update that we’re taking Norton DNS
for PC users out of beta. As you may recall, Norton DNS was launched in
May as part of our Norton Everywhere
announcement, which aims to take our consumer business beyond the PC.
Since that launch, Norton DNS has gained more than 250,000 beta users
from 112 different countries. These users have enjoyed a safer internet
experience from the more than 1.4 million malware block pages per month
that have been displayed when users encountered harmful websites.
Many people don’t know that they can change their DNS settings or
what benefits such a change could provide so, we’ve made it really easy.
Norton DNS provides a faster, safer and more reliable Internet
experience that integrates basic Web security protection services like
antiphishing, antimalware and anti-spyware via Norton site reputation
filtering. It is available for any device where the DNS settings can be
changed to point to a Norton DNS server (including Mac, PC, and Android)
– and because it works independent of any web browser, all are
supported.
For those who already have the Norton DNS beta PC client installed,
an update notification will allow them to opt to update to the latest
released client. Those who manually changed the PC/router DNS settings
to use Norton DNS, no action is required. For new users, we’ve
introduced an easy-to-use wizard that takes the guess work out of DNS
set-up and allows you to switch your settings over in a few simple
steps. We’ll walk you through those steps here:
Step 1:
Visit http://nortondns.com/ and select either the PC or Mac Norton DNS client to download to your computer’s desktop.
Step 2:
Once you’ve downloaded either the Windows or Mac client to your computer, double click the Norton DNS Icon and select "Run”.
 
Step 3:
Accept the Norton Licensing agreement and complete the wizard installation.
You are now running Norton DNS and will benefit from a faster, safer
and more reliable Internet browsing experience! Please share your
feedback in the comments below after trying it out, we’re looking
forward to hearing from you.
