Norton has unveiled the findings of its latest survey which provides insights into Singaporeans’ Internet dependence, the importance of their personal information and their level of understanding when it comes to Internet security.
Say it with numbers – from Norton’s survey of Internet Security.
Last year, Norton did an interesting survey that revealed that phone owners in Singapore were willing to pay an average of S$148 to get their lost/stolen phones back, in order to alleviate the stress and inconvenience losing their mobile phones.
About the Norton Mobile Survey
This year’s online survey was conducted in February 2012 by The Leading Edge, an independent market research firm on behalf of Norton by Symantec.
The Leading Edge conducted the survey among a sample size of 500 online adults between the ages of 18 and 64 years, within each of the following five markets: Singapore, China, Japan, India and Australia.
Singapore’s sample online size comprised 51% female and 49% male.

This year, Norton found that 76 percent of Internet users in Singapore would rather forgo US$1million than give strangers unlimited access to their computers.
The key findings are highlighted in the info-graphic above, while the details are at the end of this post.
