Work with Norton Personal Firewall
Norton Personal Firewall works in the background, so you may only interact with the program when it alerts you of new network connections and possible problems. You can choose to view the new Security Monitor or the standard Security Center window, respond to security problems, and control the number of alerts you receive and how the program resolves potential security problems.
