Norton Personal Firewall features include:
Intrusion Detection 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 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 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.
