Detailed Findings 2 ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. Background and Objectives, Sample, Methodology, and Report Structure HARRIS INTERACTIVE 3 Background and Objectives CarryOn Communication, on behalf of their client Symantec, commissioned Harris Interactive to conduct the Norton Online Living Report (NOLR) survey among online users (including adults and children) in the following 8 countries: U.S., UK, Australia, Germany, France, Brazil, China, and Japan. Key objectives of this study were to: Measure the activities of online consumers (both adults and children); Examine how these activities relate to various spheres of consumers’ lives; Uncover perceptions of online confidence and Internet safety; and Results for this study are intended for public release. HARRIS INTERACTIVE ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. Evaluate how online users protect themselves from security threats. 4 Sample The adult sample includes adults age 18 or older who spend one hour or more online each month (total interviews = 4,687). The child sample includes children age 8 to 17 who spend one hour or more online each month (total interviews = 2,717). The number of interviews per country are as follows: Country U.S. UK Australia Germany France Brazil China Japan Adults 512 619 517 580 549 707 602 601 Children 438 328 322 333 326 322 322 326 The child sample was weighted to be representative of the population of online children in each country as far as possible given the demographic information available. HARRIS INTERACTIVE ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. The adult sample was weighted to be representative of the population of online adults for each individual country. 5 Methodology The overall study entailed 15-minute interviews among adults and 5 minute interviews among children. Online surveys were conducted in the U.S., UK, Australia, Germany, France, Brazil, China, and Japan. Adults and children received an email, inviting them to take a passwordprotected online survey, programmed and hosted by Harris Interactive. The surveys were conducted in the primary language of each country. ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. Questions asked were identical across all countries, with some overlap between the adult and children survey. HARRIS INTERACTIVE 6 Report Structure In reviewing this report, please note that: Percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding, the acceptance of multiple responses or the exclusion of any “not sure” or “decline to answer” responses. ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. An asterisk (*) signifies a value of less than one-half percent. A dash (-) represents a value of zero. HARRIS INTERACTIVE 7 ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. Executive Summary HARRIS INTERACTIVE 8 Executive Summary Overview The Internet no longer represents the “new frontier.” Rather, in our 2007 snapshot, it appears to have transcended every sphere of people’s lives – the social, the inter-personal, and the intellectual. In most countries, online adults typically spend 30 to 60 hours – or almost a full work week – on the Internet each month (and in China, 100 hours). Most online children are keeping pace as well, with most typically spending about 20 to 30 hours on the Internet each month. It is clear that the Internet has permeated the way we do business, the way we share and gather information, and the way we define our friendships. However, the vast majority of online users recognize the potential vulnerability of interacting in a virtual world, and they express hesitation about providing personal information online. That said, they continue to do so routinely and have taken only modest steps to protect themselves. ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. The following report provides additional detail around each of these key themes. HARRIS INTERACTIVE 9 Executive Summary Communicating The Internet has become almost second nature as a form of communication for online users. Email is now a conventional way for people to keep in touch and it appears that almost everyone is using it. Moreover, the vast majority in almost all countries surveyed express a great deal of comfort in doing so – though the Japanese appear to be slightly more wary. Traditional channels of communication like the telephone have also begun to be adapted to match our new reality. The majority of online adults (except those in the U.S. and Japan) spend at least 1 hour per month sending text messages from their cell phone. And about 20 to 40% of online users (more in China) have created their own blog to disseminate information about themselves (or issues they care about) into the public domain. Nearly all adults across all countries email at least sometimes. Most adults feel confident about emailing. Most online adults (except in the U.S. and Japan) spend at least 1 hour per month sending text messages from their cell phone. ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. About 1 in 5 adults – though substantially more in Brazil, China and Japan – work on their personal blog at least sometimes. HARRIS INTERACTIVE 10 Executive Summary Socializing For online users globally, no longer does the offline world represent the only medium for making friends and developing relationships. Brazil and China in particular outpace other countries in being socially active online. In general, about half of adults, and slightly fewer children, have made friends online – and, of those, many (about 60 to 80%) have translated these online friendships to their offline world. About 40 to 60% of online adults even admit that they prefer their online friendships the same amount or more than their offline ones. And, about 10 to 25% say they feel comfortable socializing with strangers when they are online. About 10 to 25% of adults are confident or very confident in socializing with strangers online. In most countries, slightly fewer online children than adults are confident in socializing with strangers online – except in Brazil and China. Across countries, about 30 to 50% of online adults and children, but about 80% in China, use social network sites at least sometimes. About 40 to 50% of online adults have made friends online, more so in Brazil and China and less in France. A largely similar number of online children, about 30 to 40%, but much more so in China and Brazil and less in Japan, have made friends online. Among those online adults who have made friends online, 40 to 60% either enjoy their online friends just as much if not more than their offline friends, except for Germany, France, and Japan where it is slightly fewer. ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. The majority of adult users who have made friends online have translated at least one online friend into an offline friend. HARRIS INTERACTIVE 11 Executive Summary Living For a large majority of online users, the Internet represents a way to have fun. In most countries, many online users at least sometimes entertain themselves by downloading music, following sports, sharing videos, playing games, and reading entertainment and restaurant reviews. And, as with socializing, Brazil and China surpass the other countries in their usage of, and comfort with, the Internet as a source of recreation. While the movement from traditional to “hi-tech” appears to be happening slightly less quickly than with basic communication via email, it seems this trend will only continue to grow as each generation ages. Most adult users still watch TV through a traditional television set, but about half of adult users in most countries (with over 7 in 10 in Brazil, China and Japan) say they also use another source to watch movies, television shows, or videos for at least one hour per month. Further, children seem to be seizing the Internet as a source of entertainment, specifically with regard to playing games, even more so than adults. The majority of adult users in all countries surveyed own either a digital camcorder or digital music player. About 4 in 10 adult users, except in Germany, own a video game console. In all countries except Germany and Japan, majorities (substantially more so in Brazil and China) at least download music sometimes. In all countries except France, majorities of online adults follow sports online at least sometimes. While fewer children in all countries, except for China, do the same, a substantial minority are following sports online at least sometimes. Users in Brazil and China are especially likely to follow sports online. A vast majority of online users, especially in Brazil and China, visit video-sharing websites at least sometimes. Majorities read entertainment and restaurant reviews at least sometimes, but children less so than adults. HARRIS INTERACTIVE ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. The majority play games, Chinese adults especially, but children more so than adults. 12 Executive Summary Informing The Internet now equals – if not exceeds – the offline world as a source of key information about the world we live in. Online users spend nearly the same amount of time consuming news online as they do offline, and most spend some time each month accessing information-sharing, video-sharing, and photosharing sites. Most online users read other people’s blogs at least sometimes and use the Internet to get advice about various aspects of daily life ranging from fashion to travel to news. A large majority of online adults spend at least one hour per month both reading news from online sites or blogs and from a printed newspaper or magazine. Vast majorities of online users, except for about half of children in the U.S., UK, and Australia, follow or read news online at least sometimes. Most online users, except for about half of those in the U.S., UK, Australia, and Germany, read someone else’s blog at least sometimes. A large majority of online children get information for school projects from the Internet at least sometimes. ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. About 3 to 4 in 10 online users, except for majorities in Brazil and China, at least sometimes get beauty and/or fashion advice online. HARRIS INTERACTIVE 13 Executive Summary Buying No longer do online users feel they must touch, try, hear, and taste the products they want to buy. Around the world, there is a relatively high degree of confidence with making purchases online, despite the fact that most online users express skepticism about the security of the online world and caution in providing their personal and financial information over the Internet (as discussed on the next slide). Almost all online users, especially those in the UK, say they shop online at least sometimes. It is likely that comfort with shopping online varies based on the type and cost of the purchase being made (our survey didn’t explore this), but we imagine in the not-so-distant future that even these distinctions in online commerce will melt away. Half of online users feel confident shopping online, though confidence is higher in the U.S. and UK, and lower in Japan. About 3 in 10 online adults, but more in the UK and China, and less in Japan, feel very confident or confident sharing personal information when shopping online . The vast majority of adult users shop online at least sometimes. About 2 to 3 in 5 children, but many more in China, shop online at least sometimes. Vast majorities of online adults have bought something online at some point. While personal finance lags slightly behind commerce as an Internet activity, majorities of online users in all countries are handling some of their most basic financial transactions, that is banking and paying bills, online. Investments are generally conducted online to a slightly lesser degree, but as with more complicated shopping transactions, this is likely to be the direction of the future as it appears to be in China. About 3 to 4 in 5 online adults bank or pay bills online at least sometimes. About 3 in 10 online adults, but much more so in Brazil and China, manage financial investments online at least sometimes. HARRIS INTERACTIVE ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. Banking 14 Executive Summary Exploring Despite the variety and depth of current online activities, both adults and kids alike express a high degree of caution about using the Internet. And some of this hesitation appears to be justifiable as many online adults and children have experienced a wide range of violations (from the “minor” like receiving email advertisements from strangers to the “major” like attempts to hack into their computers). However, it appears that there is disconnect between concern and action as majorities of online users – both youth and adults – are not taking many steps, beyond the most basic, to protect themselves online. Aside from security software (which almost everyone feels vulnerable surfing the Internet without), less than half have taken multiple steps to protect their privacy or secure their information, such as using only “trusted” sites or changing their passwords frequently. And, as mentioned, most online adults say they are not that comfortable sharing personal information online, yet many routinely do so. Japanese users stand out from the pack in that they are the least likely to take actions to protect themselves online. Most online adults, but fewer in China, feel somewhat or not at all confident sharing personal information online. A large majority of online adults are somewhat or not at all confident surfing the Internet without security software. Majorities have shared less innocuous information such as email address and name with people who are not their friends or acquaintances. However, about a quarter have shared credit card information with people who are not their friends or acquaintances. A large majority of adult users have installed security software and run virus scans, but fewer have used multiple email addresses, surfed only trusted sites, and changed their passwords frequently. HARRIS INTERACTIVE ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. Further, about 1 to 2 in 10 users have shared bank or investment account information with people who are not their friends or acquaintances. 15 Executive Summary Protecting Most parents express a great deal of concern about the potential threats that their children may face when surfing the Internet. But far fewer are taking any tangible steps such as setting parental controls to protect their children’s safety. This disconnect is especially troubling given the substantial minority of children who have experienced violations, both minor and major, online. Further, most parents appear to underestimate the prevalence of these threats. A potentially positive sign is that parents and children seem to talk openly about what kids are doing online. However, parents may be too optimistic, especially in Japan, in thinking that little bad will occur in the absence of proactive measures. It seems parents need to be fully educated about the proper steps they can take – and then translate these to action – so they can appropriately guide their children. Majorities of parents are concerned about their children being approached with inappropriate content or solicitations online. About half or more children, especially in Brazil and China, are concerned about being approached online. Majorities of parents, except in Japan, believe the Internet is not as safe for children as it is for adults. Most online children, except in China and Japan, do not believe the Internet is as safe for children as it is for adults. Less than half of parents, and substantially fewer in Japan, have set parental controls on their computer and spied on their children’s internet usage. Overall, parents appear to underestimate how often their children encounter indiscretions online, such as receiving requests for personal information, being approached online by a stranger, and experiencing cyber pranks. A quarter to a third of parents, but over 40% in Japan, don’t know what their kids are looking at online. About 1 in 5 children, more so in China, say they do things online their parents would not approve of. ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. About half of parents, but more so in Brazil and China and far fewer in Japan, have spoken to their children about practicing safe online habits. HARRIS INTERACTIVE 16 Executive Summary Country Differences Globally, online users in various countries do not represent a homogenous group. While the U.S., UK and Australia follow a relatively similar pattern, the other countries stand out from the pack. Australia, the UK, and the U.S. online users are largely similar in their online behavior and attitudes and represent the global standard. A few exceptions include: less time spent reading news online in the UK, more time sending text messages in the U.K., more confidence buying online in the U.K, and feeling more at ease with sharing credit card information in the U.S.. French and German online users lag slightly behind other countries in communicating and socializing through the Internet, and in certain cases for staying current with entertainment and sports. Japanese online users, similar to French and German users, are more cautious about going online to socialize and seek entertainment than other countries. However, they lag behind in protecting their own personal information – even parents take fewer steps in ensuring the safety of their children online. Brazilian online users are much more active in using the Internet for socializing and enjoyment than other countries. Perhaps due to this, online users in Brazil are more likely to recognize the online risks children face today and take more steps to protect their personal information when online. ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. Chinese online users far surpass other countries in socializing, communicating, and gathering information online. However, this heavy usage may have caused Chinese users to become more concerned with the online security of their children - who are more likely to engage in and encounter risky behaviors than online children in other countries. HARRIS INTERACTIVE 17 Executive Summary Age Differences - Adults Globally, age differences in Internet behavior follow stereotype. Younger online adults (ages 18-41) use the Internet for a wider variety of activities (and more often) than their older counterparts (ages 42+). In particular, the pre-boomer generation in the U.S. (and in the same age category elsewhere) express much more confidence surfing around and using the Internet as a resource to socialize and communicate with others. The few areas where a different pattern emerges are: reading the news, searching health care issues, shopping, and booking travel, where either age has no impact on behavior or older adults are more likely to be involved in the activity. In general*, younger adults ages 18-41 are more likely to use the Internet to: Instant message often Visit other people’s blogs often Access chat rooms and social networking sites often (and find them enjoyable) Make friends Play games often Download music and film often Access video-sharing sites often Read reviews often Read the news often Search for health care information often Get beauty and fashion advice often Book travel often Shop online often Bank …than older adults ages 42+ are. * Please note that we have reflected the general tendency; but on occasion with some of these metrics, there may be 1 or 3 countries that do not follow the pattern. ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. And in general*, depending on the country, younger adults are equally or less likely to: *Please use caution when interpreting results due to small or extremely small base sizes for adults age 61 or older in: Brazil (n=4), China (n=11), Australia (n=76), France (n=90), Japan (n=68) . HARRIS INTERACTIVE 18 Executive Summary Age Differences - Children Among children, age has a more direct influence on Internet experience; older teens ages 13-17 are much more active online in almost every way than the next generation of pre-teens ages 8-12. They are more likely to use the Internet as a resource to: communicate, socialize, shop, access pop culture, and become knowledgeable about the world around them. The only Internet domain where pre-teens are equally proficient (if not more so) than older teens is playing games. But this much higher level of activity among older teens also comes with greater risk as older teens are more likely to receive requests for personal information, be approached by strangers and experience cyber pranks. And even more striking, they are more likely to be dishonest or discrete with their parents about what they are doing online. In general*, older teens ages 13-17 are more likely to use the Internet to: Email and instant message often Create a blog (and visit other people’s blogs) often Develop websites often Make new friends Download music and film often Access video-sharing sites often Read the news often Read reviews often Assist with school work often Shop often But*, older teens ages 13-17 are more likely to: Receive requests for personal information Be approached by strangers Experience cyber pranks Say parents don’t know what they are doing online …than younger teens ages 8-12 are. * Please note that we have reflected the general tendency; but on occasion with some of these metrics, there may be 1 or 3 countries that do not follow the pattern.

Exploring 194 Country Profile - Australia, UK and U.S. Moderate Activity/Moderate Security Across the board, Australia, the UK and the U.S. follow the global standard for Internet behavior, with relatively few exceptions. In a few unusual, discrete cases such as the UK spending less time following news online and the U.S. expressing greater comfort with sharing credit card information, these three countries are the norm and have a very similar pattern of behavior and attitudes. Among online users in Australia, the UK, and the U.S.: The vast majority are highly likely to communicate by email. About 1 in 5 work on their personal blog at least sometimes. Most use the Internet for entertainment, including playing games, following sports, getting reviews and advice, and doing school work at least sometimes. About 8 in 10 bank online; many fewer manage investments – sometimes or more often. A majority feel uncomfortable providing personal information, but most have still shared basic information with strangers, such as email and name, though fewer have shared more sensitive information such as their credit card number. Most have installed security software on their computers and run virus scans for protection, but far fewer take other steps such as using complex passwords or surfing only trusted sites. ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc. Most are concerned about the online environment being safe for kids, but slightly less than half of parents have actually set parental controls.

I’m concerned about my child being approached with inappropriate (e.g., sexual, pornographic) content or solicitations online. Country Profile - Japan Low Activity/Low Security Like French and German online users, those in Japan are less likely than other countries to use the Internet as a resource for socializing and entertainment. However unlike France and Germany, Japan is less likely than other countries to take steps to protect their privacy and to ensure the security of their personal information (and the safety of their kids). They are simultaneously more cautious about using the Internet, but less careful when they do. So, while Japanese children are less likely to experience certain threats like cyberpranks (likely due to their more cautious nature online), their parents are also less likely to have set controls and to have spoken openly with their kids about their online behavior. Online users in Japan: Surpass other countries for…. Feeling the Internet is as safe for children as it is for adults Sharing bank account information Reading other people’s blogs and having a personal blog sometimes or more often Lag behind other countries for…. Feeling confident using email and sharing personal information Feeling confident with socializing with strangers online Using social network sites sometimes or more often – kids Making online friends and preferring online friends to offline friends Downloading music at least sometimes Using the Internet to support school projects at least sometimes – kids Shopping online sometimes or more often – kids Setting parental controls and speaking with kids about online behavior – parents Taking precautions, including changing passwords, running virus scans, installing security software and using multiple email addresses HARRIS INTERACTIVE ©2007, Harris Interactive Inc.
