Monitoring Norton Personal Firewall

View the Status & Settings window

It is normal to see some denied access attempts on a random basis (not all from the same IP address, and not to a sequence of port numbers). You may also see logged access attempts made due to activity on your own computer such as connecting to an FTP server and sending email messages.

If you see any of the above patterns, it could be evidence of an attack.
