Norton Personal Firewall features

Norton Personal Firewall features include:

Intrusion Detection

Privacy Control

Ad Blocking

Intrusion Detection helps keep your computer safe from Internet attacks by scanning each piece of information that enters and exits your computer. If it identifies a potential attack, Intrusion Detection alerts you and automatically blocks the connection that contained the attack.

See “Guarding against intrusion attempts” on page 69.

Privacy Control gives you several levels of control over the kind of information that users can send via the Web, email, and instant messenger programs. You can also control how Privacy Control reacts when Web sites attempt to set and use cookies or learn about your browser.

See “Protecting your privacy” on page 89.

Ad Blocking speeds up your Web surfing by eliminating banner ads and other slow-loading or intrusive content. Norton Personal Firewall now also blocks ads made with Macromedia Flash and prevents sites from opening pop-up or pop-under ad windows.

See “Blocking Internet advertisements” on page 95.
