When Ad Blocking is active, Norton Personal Firewall automatically blocks
all Flash animations that have the same dimensions as common ads.
Norton Personal Firewall can also block all Flash content. This is useful if
you have a slow connection or are not interested in viewing Flash
animations.
You can choose to have Norton Personal Firewall block all Flash animations
or only block them on certain Web sites.

Some Web sites use Flash to create navigation toolbars. Blocking Flash may
make these sites unusable.
As you use the Internet, you may find ads that are not included on the
default Norton Personal Firewall Ad Blocking list. You can use the Ad
Trashcan to add these to your personal list of blocked ads.
To use the Ad Trashcan

Open your Web browser and view the page containing the
advertisement that you want to block.
