Hiya Blacklab! I used Kaspersky for years on all my security test machine desktops. I use Norton for my mom, my spouse and on my laptop, because frankly, it was easier in my spouse's and mom's cases and Norton used fewer resources than Kaspersky up until recently. Now, Norton is back on the poopy list for resource usage according to the independent lab testers, and they are being stingy with rebates too, so it looks like Kaspersky or BitDefender for me this year. Kaspersky had the best resource usage score, although I cannot see how. I loaded it onto my laptop recently (with a fresh OS install natch), and what a POS! For me at any rate. I hate, hate, hate the new look too. I have hated every year that they have subtly changed it since 2008. Gaah! Plus, and this is my biggest issue...I have been posting requests for help with various issues in the Kaspersky forums for years. The same mods are there, and some of them are real pricks! Condescending, unhelpful and arrogant. Not my bag baby. However, I never pay for my internet security suites, and I view hogging my PC 's resources as a no-no, so Kaspersky may have to be it this year. That was all off topic, so let me jump back on.
Thank you kindly for the information and the linky. You are correct, of course, having Norton working inside Pale Moon is really not important in the grand scheme of things. I was mainly curious, because I have a little problem. I cannot resist making something work when major developers/companies like Microsoft, Norton, Roboform, etc. refuse to officially support something and I think their reasoning is illogical and stupid.

I love me some minor, noob hacking. Teehee! Thanks again. I will read that link. And, if anyone else has some forum links on Pale Moon topics that I should learn about and they think I would benefit from reading, feel free to PM them to me.

Note that the "unpacked" NIS Add-ons are both hidden folders. The NVP Add-on probably works ok although that remains unproven, and anyway I doubt it is better than Mozilla's built-in Safebrowsing system? The Toolbar Add-on would not populate properly, and as I didn't want to use it I didn't pursue a fix!
BTW - I waved goodbye to Norton NIS 3 weeks back

(all machines now Kaspersky KIS 2014

) so no longer any means of testing here!
