How to allow a program in norton internet security

The Firewall component of Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall products must be configured to allow desired programs to run over the Internet. Normally a Norton security product automatically detects the first time a new program attempts to access the Internet and then prompts you to allow or block access.

Always "allow" CTI Navigator functions. Otherwise, you may need to manually configure the program rules in your Norton product. The general steps to configure older versions of Norton's Personal Firewall are:. Antivirus products may need to be configured or temporarily disabled at times, such as when installing a program or program update in Windows.

To temporarily disable the antivirus feature in Norton :. Why not. And Verizon should NOT have it disabled by default. If that was the case then ever Netgear and Linksys router should have the hardware disabled by default.

Ask any security expert around and they will tellyou to use both. Also what if there are other devices that connect to the router?

Now by disabling the hardware firewall you are making those other devices insecure such as tablets or other pc's which are not running NIS. Both your post and mine have merit. What I was attempting to do with the OP was to simply explain that both firewalls, if not correctly configured, could lead to problems. When you created your post, I was still in troubleshooting mode and wanted to hear back with the results.

Of course not. One more thing.. The web page for the Westell will show the differences in the Firewall settings for high, medium and low. It will show just what type of programs or functions will be allowed to come thru. Portforwarding or FindPorts will help also. They are not double nat'ed because the Westell router part is disabled then. I totally agree. The Westell also has wireless capability as well.

They are also referred to as "Gateways" due to their sophistication and flexibility in configuration. Back to top. Reg: Jan Kudos 0. I have the same question 0. Reg: Sep Hi dcogswel: Welcome to the Norton Community! Let me try to assist you Go slowly. I believe you will soon see where to put the URL and Port number. Move your new custom rule to the top of the list to be executed and save it. Hope this works out. It's just easier that way for administration purposes, IMHO. Hope this helps!
