Some Internet service providers scan the ports on users’ computers to
ensure that they are keeping to their service agreements. Norton Personal
Firewall might interpret this as a malicious port scan and stop
communications with your cable system. If this occurs, you need to let your
cable provider run port scans.
To allow ISP port scans
1 Open Norton Personal Firewall.
2 In the Security Center, double-click Intrusion Detection.
3 In the Intrusion Detection window, click IP Address.
4 In the Exclusions dialog box, select the IP address your ISP uses for
port scans.
Your ISP can provide this information.
5 Click Exclude.
6 Click OK.
How can a Web site get my browser information?
The Browser Privacy settings prevent your browser from sending browser
information. However, some diagnostic sites on the Internet might report
browser information even though the Browser Privacy settings are
blocking it.
If you are blocking Java, ActiveX, or scripts, the site might be using one of
these methods to retrieve the information. Sometimes when Web servers
do not get the information from the browser, they use the last piece of
browser information that they received instead. You might see the
information from the last person who viewed the site.
