Set up Password Protection
See “Use the Security Monitor” on page 38.
For maximum security, you can require a password before allowing anyone to make a change to your Norton Personal Firewall settings. This ensures that only the people you trust are able to disable your protection, turn off your firewall and intrusion detection, or make changes to Norton Personal Firewall options.
