The default Personal Firewall settings should provide
adequate protection for most users. If the default
protection is not appropriate, you can customize Personal
Firewall protection by using the Security Level slider to
select preset security levels, or by changing individual
security settings.
The Security Level slider lets you select Minimal,
Medium, or High security settings. When you change the
slider position, the protection level changes. Changing
the Security Level does not affect the protection provided
by Intrusion Detection.
You can set individual Security Level settings for each
Norton Internet Security user.
To change the Security Level
1 In the main window, double-click Personal Firewall.
2 In the Personal Firewall window, in the Choose a
security level for drop-down list, select the account
that you want to change.
3 Move the slider to the Security Level that you want.
Click OK.
If the Security Level options do not meet your needs, you
can change the settings for the Personal Firewall, Java,
and
ActiveX
protection levels. Changing an individual
setting overrides the Security Level, but it does not
change the other security settings in that level.
