Setting security profiles
The NVFirewall™ application allows several security profiles to match your
system security needs. The following describes the NVFirewall™ security
profiles:
•
Low - allows safe incoming connections and deny those that are
known to be dangerous connections. This profile also enables some
anti-hacking features.
•
Medium - blocks most incoming connections. Incoming connections
to some ports must be set to allow file transfers using some online
messaging applications. This profile also enables some anti-hacking
features.
•
High - allows the least traffic through. Only outbound connections
are allowed. This profile also includes the "stealth modeʼ feature that
makes your system invisible to intruders. This also enables some
anti-hacking features.
•
Lockdown - blocks all incoming and outgoing connections.
•
Anti-hacking only - this profile enables all anti-hacking features but
disables the firewall. This security profile is useful if you want to use a
third-party firewall application.
•
Custom 1, 2, 3 - these are reserved for customized profiles.
•
Off - deactivates the firewall.

Profile combo list box then
