We’re immensely grateful for the loyalty of our K9 Web Protection customers.  For years, many of you have been using the award-winning K9 application to protect your computers, children, and organizations from spyware, malware, adult content and other threats and risky interactions. We’ve worked together to make the Internet a much safer place for our families and communities.

On August 1, 2016, Blue Coat, Inc. (K9’s parent company) was acquired by cybersecurity leader Symantec™.  As can be imagined Blue Coat and Symantec had a handful of similar products and unfortunately, it didn’t make sense to maintain two competing products. it was decided to “end-of-life” K9 Web Protection and focus corporate and customer attention on Symantec’s line of Norton™ products.

Effective immediately, K9 Web Protection is no longer available for purchase or download.  Technical Support for K9 will end on June 30, 2019.  Until then, support for K9 can reached via
email at DL-ECS-K9TechnicalSupport@symantec.com.  We’ve also created an uninstall tool should you need help removing the application from your computer.

The Norton Solution most like K9 Web Protection is Norton Antivirus Plus.  Norton Antivirus Plus provides comprehensive, mutli-layered security to protect against existing and emerging malware threats.  Norton Antivirus Plus also helps protect your private and financial information when you go online.  Finally, Norton Antivirus Plus provides 2GB of cloud storage†.

For a limited time, Symantec is offering a year of Norton Antivirus Plus (regularly $59.99) to K9 subscribers for only $39.99.  Enroll now by calling 1-800-655-2090.
